Abstract:
An optical waveguide device for use in a head up display. The waveguide device provides pupil expansion in two dimensions. The waveguide device comprise a primary waveguide and a secondary waveguide, the secondary waveguide being positioned on a face of the primary waveguide. The secondary waveguide has a diffraction grating on a face opposite to the face which contacts the primary waveguide. The diffraction grating diffracts light into more than one diffraction order. Rays diffracted into a non-zero order are trapped in the secondary waveguide by total internal reflection.
