Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021173253A1] An optical waveguide comprises one or more upstream diffraction gratings in addition to overlapping first and second downstream diffraction gratings. The one or more upstream diffraction gratings include a first upstream diffraction grating configured to receive display light and to release the display light expanded along a first axis. The first and second downstream diffraction gratings are configured to receive the display light expanded along the first axis and to cooperatively release the display light further expanded along a second axis. The first downstream diffraction grating is arranged on a planar face of the optical waveguide and is further configured to further expand along the first axis the display light expanded along the first axis.
