Abstract: The present disclosure relates to augmented reality devices and related methods. In one or more embodiments, an augmented reality device includes a projection system and a waveguide. The projection system includes a projector and a prism. The projector projects an image along the projectors major axis. The prism refracts the image having a first spectrum, a second spectrum, and a third spectrum. The waveguide is disposed at a wrap angle from a plane formed from the major axis of the projector. The waveguide includes an input coupler and an output coupler. The input coupler includes input structures at an input period and an input orientation and the input coupler is configured to receive the spectrums at different corresponding input angles. The output coupler includes output structures at an output period and an output orientation and the output coupler out couples the respective spectrums at an about equal output angle.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure include an optical device. The optical device generally includes an in-coupler (IC) configured to receive light from a projector, where the IC includes at least one grating line offset (GLO) associated with one or more phase deviations of the light from the projector. The device also includes a waveguide and an output coupler (OC), where the IC is configured to redirect the light from the projector to the OC through the waveguide.

Abstract: Single-sheet waveguide combiners having increased field-of-view for multiple colors by enabling separate action on different colors without creating spurious paths are provided. A waveguide includes a first region including an in-coupler (IC) grating for a first color; a second region including an IC grating for a second color and a third color; a third region including an out-coupler (OC) grating for the first color and an eye-pupil-expander (EPE) grating for the second color and the third color; a fourth region including an EPE grating for the first color; and a fifth region including an OC grating for the second color and the third color and an EPE grating for the first color, wherein the fifth region at least partially overlaps with the third region.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods of forming a substrate having a target thickness distribution at one or more eyepiece areas across a substrate. The substrate includes eyepiece areas corresponding to areas where optical device eyepieces are to be formed on the substrate. Each eyepiece area includes a target thickness distribution. A base substrate thickness distribution of a base substrate is measured such that a target thickness change can be determined. The methods described herein are utilized along with the target thickness change to form a substrate with the target thickness distribution.
