WAVEGUIDE OPTICAL DEVICE AND NEAR-EYE DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17751133 titled 'WAVEGUIDE OPTICAL DEVICE AND NEAR-EYE DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a waveguide optical device and a near-eye display apparatus that includes the device. The device consists of a waveguide, an input coupler, and an output coupler. The output coupler is made up of multiple grating regions that are spaced apart.

  • The waveguide optical device is designed to propagate light.
  • An input coupler is used to input light into the waveguide.
  • An output coupler is used to output the light from the waveguide to the outside.
  • The output coupler consists of several grating regions that are arranged with spacing between them.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Near-eye display apparatus for virtual reality or augmented reality devices.
  • Optical communication systems.
  • Head-up displays in vehicles or aircraft.
  • Optical sensors for various applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient propagation of light through a waveguide.
  • Precise input and output of light into and from the waveguide.
  • Reduction of optical losses and reflections.
  • Enhanced performance and image quality in near-eye display systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved optical efficiency.
  • Compact and lightweight design.
  • Enhanced image quality and resolution.
  • Reduced power consumption.
  • Versatile applications in various industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a waveguide optical device and a near-eye display apparatus including the same. The waveguide optical device includes a waveguide that propagates light, an input coupler that inputs the light into the waveguide, and an output coupler that outputs the light propagating in the waveguide to the outside, wherein the output coupler includes a plurality of grating regions, which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other.
