27.1 - Flat-Based Double-Path Pancake Optics to Improve Productivity (9:00 AM - 9:20 AM)
  • Naru Usukura, Takehisa Yoshida, Kiyoshi Minoura
    Sharp Display Technology Corporation Nara Japan

  • Yoshiko Honma
    Kantatsu Company Tokyo Japan


  • A double-path pancake optics approach is proposed, which has 1.8 times higher light efficiency than conventional designs. Instead of a curved reflective polarizer (RP), a flat RP is adopted to address productivity and cost concerns. Simulation is conducted. A prototype is built showing that 25.5mm thickness with 90-degree FoV can be realized with good optical properties.

27.2 - Nine-Depth Switchable Augmented Reality Display with Bi-Stacked Quarter-Waveplate-Based Geometric Phase Lenses (9:20 AM - 9:40 AM)
  • Jung-Yeop Shin, Jae-Won Lee, Jin-Hyeok Seo, Young-Min Cho, Hak-Rin Kim
    Kyungpook National University Daegu South Korea


  • Using a bi-stacked quarter-waveplate-based GPL, triple sets of wavefront modulation are proposed to enable nine depth-switchable AR imaging functions. The proposed solution has advantages in simplicity as well as form factor.

27.3 - Invited Paper: 3D Visual Fatigue-Free AR Displays (9:40 AM - 10:00 AM)
  • Yan Li, Xiaojin Huang, Shuxin Liu, Yikai Su
    Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China


  • The study proposes a varifocal and Maxwellian AR display using two identical Alvarez geometry phase liquid-crystal elements and an innovative metasurface geometry phase visor. Experiments demonstrate the system's effectiveness in resolving accommodation-vergence conflict, enhancing user experience in AR applications.

27.4 - Design of a Statically Foveated Head-Mounted Display with a Novel Perceptual-Driven Approach (10:00 AM - 10:20 AM)
  • Pengyinjie Lyu, Hong Hua
    University of Arizona Tucson AZ US


  • Using a new perceptual-driven approach, a statically foveated head-mounted display design is proposed. The aim is to offer a large field of view and high resolution with imperceptible image-quality degradation,eliminating the need for eye-tracking or scanning mechanisms. The system incorporates a uniform-resolution display panel and a spatially varying optical power eyepiece.
