Near-eye display with a triple-channel waveguide for metaverse

We present a near-eye display featuring a triple-channel waveguide with chiral liquid crystal gratings. Our triple-channel waveguide is capable of dividing one field of view into three through both the polarization orthogonality and angular separation. To illustrate its principle, a k-space diagram, which takes into account the aspect ratio of field of view, is depicted. Our results demonstrate that its diagonal field of view reaches 90°, eye relief is 10 mm, exit pupil is 4.9 × 4.9 mm², transmittance is 4.9%, and uniformity is 89%.
