Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an approach to precisely adjust the color uniformity of an Volume-Holographic-Device (VHOE) based Augmented Reality (AR) eyewear display by multiplexing volume gratings in the coupling device plus drive signal management scheme implemented on a micro-display panel of an optical engine. Our approach can simplify the complexity of optical configuration, requiring only a single optical waveguide plus two VHOEs which contains three RGB gratings in each for coupling-in and -out device to achieve a full-color eyewear display with an expansive horizontal field of view (FOV) of nearly 30° and less than 3% ΔELab color non-uniformity.
