Abstract

Liquid crystal photonic technology has been widely explored aiming to provide the immersive Augmented Reality (AR) experience. In this paper, we discuss the potential of using this technology to build AR waveguide displays. We start from the physical understanding of one type of the LC elements-Polarization Volume Holograms (PVH). Then we discuss the benefits/issues of using PVH as waveguide couplers. Finally, we explore the potential scale up manufacturing path of the PVH waveguides. We expect to provide the future AR glasses with small form factor, great image performance and low cost using Liquid crystal photonic technology.
