Paper No S16.2. See-through multiaperture near-to-eye display with waveguide

We describe design and manufacturing of a multiaperture near-to-eye (N2E) display, establish design rules, and discuss relevant properties in comparison with traditional single-aperture devices. A grating-coupled waveguide shifts the image laterally toward the eve-motion box and enables see-through functionality using the zeroth diffraction order of the outcoupling grating.
