The display assembly in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, includes a light machine and an optical waveguide disposed at a light emitting side of the light machine, wherein a coupling-in area of the optical waveguide is provided with a coupling-in grating, and a coupling-out area of the optical waveguide is provided with a coupling-out grating. The light machine comprises a micro display screen and a collimation element arranged on the light emitting side of the micro display screen, the micro display screen is regarded as a plurality of point light sources, each point light source corresponds to one pixel, spherical light beams emitted by the point light sources become plane light beams after passing through a collimation lens system, the emergent angles of the light beams of different pixel points are different, and each emergent angle corresponds to one field of view. The light emitted from each pixel point is usually mixed light containing components with different wavelengths, and the mixed light is formed by mixing three kinds of light with different wavelengths of red (r), green (g) and blue (b) according to different proportions. The coupling-in grating on the optical waveguide couples the light beam emitted by the optical engine into the optical waveguide, and due to the diffraction effect of the coupling-in grating, the diffraction angles of the light beams with the same field of view and different wavelengths in the mixed light entering the optical waveguide are different, as shown in fig. 1, the diffraction angle (theta r) of red light (r) is maximum, the diffraction angle (theta g) of green light (g) is twice, and the diffraction angle (theta b) of blue light (b) is minimum.
The number of times of total reflection of light with different diffraction angles (namely, light with different wavelengths) in the optical waveguide is different, the number of times of total reflection of light with larger diffraction angle in the optical waveguide is smaller, namely, the step interval of two continuous total reflection at the same interface is larger; the smaller the diffraction angle, the more times total reflection occurs within the optical waveguide, i.e. the smaller the step size interval between successive total reflections at the same interface.
Since the number of total reflections of light at different diffraction angles in the optical waveguide is different, the number of times the light contacts the outcoupling grating in the outcoupling region is also different, which results in that the uniformity of the output distribution of light at different wavelengths in the outcoupling region is different; the red light has fewer diffraction orders than the green light in the coupling-out region and the blue light has more diffraction orders than the green light in the coupling-out region, and when the coupling-out grating structure is arranged such that the green light coupling-out distribution is uniform, the blue light is brighter near the coupling-in region and darker far from the coupling-in region, and the red light is darker near the coupling-in region and brighter far from the coupling-in region. Causing color deviations in the display of the out-coupling area.
The application provides a display assembly 100, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 8, comprising a light machine 110, a dispersion element 120 arranged on the light emitting side of the light machine 110 and an optical waveguide 130 arranged on the light emitting side of the dispersion element 120, wherein the light emitting side of the optical waveguide 130 is provided with a dispersion compensation element 140, the light machine 110 emits mixed light beams, the dispersion element 120 deflects light beams with different wavelengths in the mixed light beams to different degrees, so that the light beams with different wavelengths enter a coupling-in area 131 at different angles and are coupled to the dispersion compensation element 140 by a coupling-out area 132 of the optical waveguide 130, and the dispersion compensation element 140 deflects the light beams with different wavelengths in the opposite direction to the deflection direction of the dispersion element 120 and emits the emitted light beams forming the display assembly 100.
In the display assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the dispersive element 120 is disposed on the light emitting side of the light machine 110, the mixed light emitted from the light machine 110 enters the dispersive element 120, the dispersive element 120 deflects the light beams with different wavelengths in the mixed light to different degrees, so that the light beams with different wavelengths in the same field of view are separated, and the light beams with different wavelengths exit the dispersive element 120 at different angles, for example, after being dispersed by the dispersive element 120, three light beams of red (r), green (g) and blue (b) are formed, and the three light beams of red, green and blue enter the coupling region 131 at different angles, and enter the optical waveguide 130 through the coupling grating diffraction of the coupling region 131. At the coupling grating of the coupling region 131 of the optical waveguide 130, the light emitted from the dispersive element 120 enters the optical waveguide 130 through the diffraction of the coupling grating, and since the incident angles of the three light beams entering the coupling region 131 are different, compared with the prior art, the angle difference of the diffraction angles of the three light beams is reduced after the diffraction of the coupling grating, thereby reducing the diffraction order difference of the light beams with different wavelengths in the exit pupil region and improving the uniformity of the display of the optical waveguide 130. Because the dispersion effect of the dispersion element 120 causes the coupling-out angles of the light beams with different wavelengths to be different after the light beams with the same pixel are coupled out in the exit pupil area, the dispersion compensation element 140 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the optical waveguide 130 to further deflect the coupling-out light with the same pixel towards the opposite deflection direction, so that the light beams with different wavelengths with the same pixel enter the eyes of the viewer at the same angle.
According to the display assembly 100 provided by the application, the dispersive element 120 and the dispersion compensating element 140 are respectively arranged on the light incident side and the light emergent side of the optical waveguide 130, and the dispersive element 120 deflects the light beams with different wavelengths in the mixed light beam to different extents, so that the light beams with different wavelengths are incident into the coupling-in area 131 at different angles, and further, the diffraction angle difference formed by the light beams with different wavelengths in the coupling-in area 131 is reduced, compared with the prior art, the difference of the diffraction angles of the light beams diffracted by the coupling-in area 131 is reduced, and therefore, the diffraction order difference of the light with different wavelengths in the exit pupil area is reduced, and the uniformity of the display of the optical waveguide 130 is improved. Each light beam undergoes multiple total reflections in light guide 130 and is coupled out by coupling-out region 132 of light guide 130 to dispersion compensating element 140, where dispersion compensating element 140 deflects the light beams of different wavelengths in a direction opposite to that of dispersion element 120 and outputs an output light beam forming display assembly 100 such that light of different wavelengths in the same field of view enters the viewer's eye at the same angle. Therefore, the display assembly 100 provided by the application can improve the uniformity of light emitted by the display assembly 100.
Example 1
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2,3 and 4, the dispersive element 120 comprises a transmissive diffraction grating 121, the transmissive diffraction grating 121 being disposed between the light engine and the light guide 130 in-coupling region 131, the transmissive diffraction grating 121 deflecting the blue, green and red light in the mixed light beam to different extents so that the red, green and blue light are incident on the light guide 130 at different angles.
As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, when the dispersive element 120 adopts the transmissive diffraction grating 121, the optical bench 110 is disposed on one side of the transmissive diffraction grating 121 away from the optical waveguide 130, that is, the transmissive diffraction grating 121 is located between the optical bench 110 and the coupling-in region 131, the mixed light beam emitted from the optical bench 110 enters the transmissive diffraction grating 121, and the transmissive diffraction grating 121 deflects the blue light, the green light and the red light in the mixed light beam to different extents, so that the red light, the green light and the blue light enter the optical waveguide 130 at different angles, and the deflection of the transmissive diffraction grating 121 can reduce the diffraction angle difference formed between the light beams with different wavelengths in the coupling-in region 131 of the optical waveguide, thereby improving the uniformity of the display assembly 100.
In one implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the zero-field mixed beam emitted from the optical bench 110 has a preset included angle with the normal direction of the transmissive diffraction grating 121, so that the zero-field green light is perpendicularly incident to the plane where the coupling-in region 131 is located.
Alternatively, the dispersion compensating element 140 is a transmissive diffraction element 141, the period of the transmissive diffraction element 141 is the same as that of the transmissive diffraction grating 121, and the diffraction orders are opposite.
When the dispersion compensating element 140 is a transmissive diffraction element 141, since the diffraction orders of the diffraction element include the zero order, ±1 order … …, in which the direction of the zero order diffracted light is unchanged, the direction of the deflection of +1 and-1 orders is opposite, in order to make the direction of the deflection of the light beam by the transmissive diffraction element 141 and the transmissive diffraction grating 121 opposite. In the embodiment of the application, the period of the transmission type diffraction element 141 is the same as that of the transmission type diffraction grating 121, and the diffraction orders are opposite, namely when the transmission type diffraction grating 121 passes through +1 order diffraction light, the transmission type diffraction element 141 passes through-1 order diffraction light; when the transmission diffraction grating 121 passes-1 order diffracted light, the transmission diffraction element 141 passes +1 order diffracted light.
Alternatively, the transmissive diffraction grating 121 and the transmissive diffraction element 141 are provided with an angle selective transmission film 151 on their light exit side so as to prevent a small amount of zero-order diffracted light beams from transmitting.
In addition, since the light beam energy is mainly concentrated in +1 order or-1 order diffraction order when the transmissive diffraction grating 121 and the transmissive diffraction element 141 diffract, the angle selective transmission film 151 can prevent the light beam of other diffraction orders from entering the optical waveguide 130 or human eyes in order to reduce stray light formed by the light of other diffraction orders, thereby affecting the display effect.
As shown in fig. 3, the grating period d1 of the transmissive diffraction grating 121 is 800nm, and when the zero-field mixed beam emitted from the optical machine 110 enters the transmissive diffraction grating 121 at the angle β, the diffraction angle of green light (g) is parallel to the normal line of the grating surface, according to the grating equation (1)As can be seen from the calculation, β=43.04 °, red light diffraction angle θ r1 =5.67 °, blue light diffraction angle θ b1 =6.17°, where n 1 is the exit medium refractive index, n 2 is the incident medium refractive index, θ is the diffraction angle, α is the incident angle, k is the diffraction order, λ is the wavelength of light, and d is the diffraction grating period. When the red light and the blue light are respectively incident on the coupling-in region 131 at θ r1、θb1, as shown in fig. 4, it is known from the equation of the grating that θ r、θg、θb is 54.46 °, 49.13 °, and 43.92 °. Assuming that the thickness of the substrate of optical waveguide 130 is h=2mm, +1-order diffracted light is totally reflected twice in succession on the same side within the substrate of optical waveguide 130, step l is calculated by formula (2): l=2 htan θ. From the calculation of the formula (2), l r1、lg1、lb1 was found to be 5.60mm, 4.62mm, and 3.85mm, respectively. The step interval difference between red light and green light is l r1-lg1 =0.98 mm, the step interval difference between red light and blue light is l r1-lb1 =1.75 mm, and the step interval difference between green light and blue light is l g1-lb1 =0.77 mm. Wherein the refractive index n 1 of optical waveguide 130 is 1.9, the grating period d is 380nm, the red light wavelength lambda (r) is 625nm, the green light wavelength lambda (g) is 546nm, and the blue light wavelength lambda (g) is 460nm.
Example two
Unlike the implementation of the first embodiment, the dispersive element 120 of the second embodiment adopts the blazed grating 122, and since the blazed grating 122 is a reflective grating, the optical engine 110 and the optical waveguide 130 are disposed on the same side of the blazed grating 122, and the mixed light beam emitted from the optical engine 110 is reflected by the blazed grating 122 and deflects the blue light, the green light and the red light in the mixed light beam to different degrees during the reflection process.
As shown in fig. 6, when the grating period d1 of the blazed grating 122 is set to 800nm, m is the normal line of the plane of the blazed grating 122, and the zero-field mixed beam emitted from the optical machine 110 is incident on the blazed grating in the direction parallel to the normal line of the plane of the blazed grating 122, the blazed angle a of the grating is set such that the green light is perpendicularly incident on the coupling-in region 131, and the red light and the blue light are respectively incident on the coupling-in region 131 at θ r1、θb1. As shown in fig. 7, θ r、θg、θb was found to be 54.46 °, 49.13 °, and 43.92 ° by calculation of formula (1), and l r1、lg1、lb1 was found to be 5.60mm, 4.62mm, and 3.85mm by calculation of formula (2). The step interval difference between red light and green light is l r1-lg1 =0.98 mm, the step interval difference between red light and blue light is l r1-lb1 =1.75 mm, and the step interval difference between green light and blue light is l g1-lb1 =0.77 mm.
In order to more clearly show the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application, the summary of the data of the prior art, embodiment one, embodiment two is shown in table one:

As can be seen from the table, the difference between diffraction angles of light of different wavelengths and the step interval difference of total reflection of light of different wavelengths continuously occurring twice on the same side of the optical waveguide 130 are reduced, thereby improving the uniformity of color display of the display assembly 100.
Example III
Unlike the second embodiment, the dispersive element 120 of the third embodiment adopts the first dispersive prism 123, as shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the dispersive element 120 is the first dispersive prism 123, the first dispersive prism 123 is disposed between the light engine 110 and the light guide 130 coupling-in area 131, the first dispersive prism 123 deflects the mixed light beam emitted from the light engine 110 to different degrees so that the red light beam, the green light beam and the blue light beam are incident on the light guide 130 at different angles, the dispersion compensating element 140 includes the second dispersive prism 142, and the direction of deflection of the light beam by the first dispersive prism 123 and the second dispersive prism 142 is opposite.
The zero-field mixed beam emitted by the optical machine 110 enters the first dispersion prism 123 at a preset angle beta 2, and the refraction is carried out twice on the upper surface and the lower surface of the first dispersion prism 123, wherein the refractive index of the first dispersion prism 123 is nλ, namely, the first dispersion prism 123 has different refractive indexes for light with different wavelengths, so that the first dispersion prism 123 generates different deflection for the light with different wavelengths, and the longer the wavelength is, the smaller the refractive index is, and the smaller the deflection is; the shorter the wavelength, the larger the refractive index and the larger the deflection.
The relation between the incident angle and refraction angle of the mixed light is calculated by the formula (3): n 0sinβ=nλ sina, wherein n 0 is the refractive index of the incident medium, β is the incident angle, n λ is the refractive index of the refractive medium, and α is the refractive angle. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the mixed light enters the prism at the angle (β 1), the green light is perpendicularly incident to the coupling-in grating, the red light and the blue light are respectively incident to the coupling-in grating at the angle θ r2、θb2, the diffraction angles of the red light, the green light and the blue light are respectively θ r3、θg3、θb3 after being diffraction-modulated by the coupling-in region 131, and the step sizes are respectively l r2、lg2、lb2.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the mixed light is refracted twice on the upper and lower surfaces of the prism, then the green light is perpendicularly incident to the coupling grating of the optical waveguide 130, and the red light and the blue light are respectively incident to the coupling grating at angles of θ r2、θb2. The diffraction angles formed after the red light, the green light and the blue light are coupled into the grating to be modulated into +1 (or-1) order diffraction light are respectively theta r3、θg3、θb3. Because the light beams emitted by the same pixel point have different coupling-out angles after being coupled out by the coupling-out area 132 due to the dispersion action of the first dispersion prism 123, the second dispersion prism 142 is added to deflect the coupling-out light of the same pixel point in the opposite direction, so that the light beams with different wavelengths of the same pixel point enter the eyes of the viewer at the same angle.
In order to make the first and second dispersion prisms 123 and 142 have opposite directions of deflection of the light beam, the first and second dispersion prisms 123 and 142 have the same refractive index and the same angle of the angle θ, and the directions of arrangement are opposite, as shown in fig. 11.
In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of the mixed light beam entering the first dispersion prism 123 and the light beam entering the second dispersion prism 142 at each wavelength, an antireflection film 152 may be provided on the light entrance surfaces of the first dispersion prism 123 and the second dispersion prism 142, thereby improving the light exit efficiency of the display module 100.
Optionally, the zero-field mixed beam exiting from the optical engine 110 has a predetermined angle β2 with the incident surface of the dispersion prism, so that the green light is perpendicularly incident into the coupling-in area 131.

The AR device includes the same structure and advantages as the display assembly 100 in the previous embodiment.
