Abstract: An example a head-mounted display device includes a light projector and an eyepiece. The eyepiece is arranged to receive light from the light projector and direct the light to a user during use of the wearable display system. The eyepiece includes a waveguide having an edge positioned to receive light from the display light source module and couple the light into the waveguide. The waveguide includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The waveguide includes several different regions, each having different grating structures configured to diffract light according to different sets of grating vectors.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of variable-pitch light-emitting devices for display applications, including for displays in augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality environments. In particular, it relates to small (e.g., micron-size) light emitting devices (e.g., micro-LEDs) of variable pitch to provide the advantages, e.g., of compactness, manufacturability, color rendition, as well as computational and power savings. Systems and methods for emitting multiple lights by multiple panels where a pitch of one panel is different than pitch(es) of other panels are disclosed. Each panel may comprise a respective array of light emitters. The multiple lights may be combined by a combiner.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a diffusing element configured to couple portions of a light beam back into a laser diode. The system includes a diode laser driven into a chaotic regime by a combination of a diffuser and a modulated drive current such that it emits light across a frequency spectrum having an envelope between 3 and 10 nanometers wide. The system further includes a diffusing element at least 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm away from the diode laser to couple portions of the light beam back into the laser diode. Another embodiment is directed to using the diffusing element to illuminate a flat panel display or a spatial light modulator.

Abstract: An eyepiece waveguide for an augmented reality display system. The eyepiece waveguide can include an optically transmissive substrate with an input coupling grating (ICG) region. The ICG region can receive a beam of light and couple the beam into the substrate in a guided propagation mode. The eyepiece waveguide can also include a combined pupil expander-extractor (CPE) grating region that receives the beam of light from the ICG region and alters the propagation direction of the beam with a first interaction and out-couples the beam with a second interaction. The diffractive features of the CPE grating region can be arranged in rows and columns of alternating higher and lower quadrilateral surfaces or the diffractive features can comprise diamond shaped raised ridges. The eyepiece waveguide can also include one or more recycler grating regions.

Abstract: A method and system for increasing dynamic digitized wavefront resolution, i.e., the density of output beamlets, can include receiving a single collimated source light beam and producing multiple output beamlets spatially offset when out-coupled from a waveguide. The multiple output beamlets can be obtained by offsetting and replicating a collimated source light beam. Alternatively, the multiple output beamlets can be obtained by using a collimated incoming source light beam having multiple input beams with different wavelengths in the vicinity of the nominal wavelength of a particular color. The collimated incoming source light beam can be in-coupled into the eyepiece designed for the nominal wavelength. The input beams with multiple wavelengths take different paths when they undergo total internal reflection in the waveguide, which produces multiple output beamlets.
