    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Display Technology
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Traditional see-through displays often suffer from fixed focal planes, leading to visual discomfort and limited augmented reality (AR) experiences.
    • Achieving a comfortable AR experience requires addressing vergence-accommodation conflict, often caused by displays with a single focal plane.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel see-through display system utilizing a planar holographic waveguide with a dynamically tunable focal plane.
    • To enhance user comfort in augmented reality applications by enabling a wider range of focal distances.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of a negative liquid crystal lens at the outcoupling point of a holographic waveguide.
    • Manipulation of image distance through the tunable focal length of the liquid crystal lens, ranging from negative infinity to -65 cm.
    • Control of polarization states to manage the see-through capability for the real scene and the input image.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstration of a prototype system with a 10.5° field-of-view (FOV) for non-infinite images.
    • The liquid crystal lens successfully manipulates image distance, providing a tunable focal plane.
    • The system maintains see-through functionality for the real scene while displaying augmented information.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented tunable focal plane see-through display offers a more comfortable AR experience compared to single focal plane systems.
    • The polarization-dependent nature of the liquid crystal lens is key to simultaneously enabling see-through and image display functions.
    • This technology represents a significant advancement in creating more immersive and user-friendly augmented reality systems.
