Abstract: To satisfy augmented reality (AR) optical waveguide requirements for a large field of view (FOV),thin and lightweight form factor,and high immersion,a mass-producible thin-lightweight trans misive head-mounted display (HMD)optical system based on an arrayed geometric thin-film waveguide architecture was designed and implemented. The system comprises an eyepiece,an arayed waveguide module,and an illumination module.The arrayed waveguide employs an arry of semi-transparent,semireflective films with customized angle-selective coatings as the optical combiner,enabling pupil expansion. A dual-waveplate polarization-mixing scheme was introduced,improving display uniformity from 59.66% (204号 to 61.12% under single-polarized illumination and to 76.61% in practical measurements. Through comprehensive optical simulation and system-level optimization,and supported by a mature domestic optical manufacturing chain-including precision cutting,grinding and polishing, vacuum deposition of complex multilayer films,and high-precision bonding-together with an added waveplate lamination process,key technical bariers limiting the mass production of arrayed waveguides were overcome. A prototype was fabricated,and mass production Was achieved. The proposed approach resolves the longstanding trade-off between optical performance and manufacturability in AR HMDs,supporting both consumer and industrial applications.
