DISPLAY FOR AUGMENTED REALITY OR VIRTUAL REALITY

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18947648 titled 'DISPLAY FOR AUGMENTED REALITY OR VIRTUAL REALITY

Original Abstract Submitted

An AR or VR display device. First and third input gratings receive light of a first color from first and second projectors, respectively, coupling the light into a first waveguide. Second and fourth input gratings receive light of a second color from the first and second projectors, respectively, coupling the light into a second waveguide. An output diffractive optical element couples light out of the waveguides towards a viewing position. The first and second projectors provide light to the input diffractive optical elements in directions that are at a first and second angle, respectively, to a waveguide normal vector. The output diffractive optical element couples light out of the waveguides in a first range of angles for light from the first projector and in a second range of angles for light from the second projector, the first range of angles and the second range of angles differing but partially overlapping.
