Abstract: A method is described for fabricating an optical device that includes a light waves-transmitting substrate having at least two major surfaces and edges and a plurality of partially reflecting surfaces carried by the substrate, wherein the partially reflecting surfaces are parallel to each other and not parallel to any of the edges of the substrate. The method includes providing at least one transparent flat plate and plates having partially reflecting surfaces and optically attaching together the flat plates so as to create a stacked, staggered form. From the stacked, staggered form, at least one segment is sliced off by cutting across several plates and the segment is ground and polished to produce the light waves-transmitting substrate. The plates are optically attached to each other by an optically adhesive-free process.

Abstract: An optical structure and corresponding process of manufacture for light guide optical elements (LOEs) which guide light by reflection at major surfaces. The structure further includes light directing surfaces for coupling light out of the LOE, obliquely inclined with respect to the major surfaces. The optical structure is formed from a stack of multiple optically transparent layers each of which has a surface pattern of regions configured as light directing surfaces which are arranged in an X-Z plane in a spaced-apart relationship along at least the X-axis with optically transparent regions between them. The layers are stacked along a Y-axis so that each of the surface patterns is located at an interface between two adjacent layers and the patterns of the layers are aligned with a shift of a predetermined value along one or both of the X-axis and Z-axis.
