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.
