DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENTS-BASED WAVEGUIDE ARCHITECTURE FOR AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES WITH WIDE FIELD OF VIEW - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883043 titled 'DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENTS-BASED WAVEGUIDE ARCHITECTURE FOR AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES WITH WIDE FIELD OF VIEW
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is about augmented reality devices and their operation. It introduces a waveguide with a diffractive optical elements-based architecture for an augmented reality device. The waveguide consists of three zones: a light in-coupling zone, a light expanding zone, and a light out-coupling zone. Each zone has its own set of diffractive optical elements that perform specific functions. The patent also mentions the development of an augmented reality display device and augmented reality glasses based on this waveguide architecture.

Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to augmented reality devices and methods for operating such devices. A waveguide with a diffractive optical elements-based architecture for an augmented reality device is provided. The waveguide includes a light in-coupling zone, a light expanding zone, and a light out-coupling zone. Each zone includes its own set of diffractive optical elements performing the light in-couple, light expand and light out-couple function. There are further provided an augmented reality display device and augmented reality glasses based on the waveguide with the diffractive optical elements-based architecture.
