Technology Overview
This technology introduces an innovative approach to overcome the limitations of narrow viewing angles in leaky mode near-eye displays. By employing a combination of two gratings, it directs light in a manner that creates large aggregate view zones, enhancing the user's visual experience without the need for expanding the display's physical dimensions.
Key Advantages
- Significantly increases the effective view zone of displays
- Does not require an increase in the display space bandwidth product
- Maintains compact device dimensions
- Applicable to a wide range of near-eye display technologies
Problems Addressed
- Overcomes the limitation of small effective view zones in near-eye displays
- Eliminates the need for larger physical dimensions to achieve wider viewing angles
Market Applications
- Augmented reality (AR) devices
- Virtual reality (VR) headsets
- Heads-up displays (HUDs) in automotive and aviation sectors
- Portable and wearable technology
