Abstract: Embodiments herein are generally directed to a waveguide display assembly and a near-eye display system incorporating the waveguide display assembly. In an embodiment, the waveguide display includes a light engine, a waveguide combiner, an input coupling grating, and one or more coupling gratings exposed to an ambient environment of the waveguide display assembly. The waveguide combiner extends across a user's eye at a wrap angle θwrap(xy) relative to a waveguide plane, and the light engine is configured to project light toward the input coupling grating at a compensation angle θCl so as to increase the grating vector of the exposed gratings and reduce the angles and wavelengths at which light can be diffracted and coupled by the exposed grating into the waveguide combiner to the user's eye.

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.
