Tripling Optical Efficiency of Pancake Optics for Virtual Reality Displays by Yuze Xiao, Jiazhan Zhang, Yun Ye, Sheng Xu, Qun Yan, Tailiang Guo, Enguo Chen

“…However, only a small portion of the light can pass through the pancake optical engine because the incident light has to be polarized and directed to the half mirror (HM) twice. In order to improve the optical efficiency, a new pancake optical engine is proposed for VR display, which employs a diffractive deflection film (DDF) with different focal lengths in three regions and two cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) lenses that respond to circularly polarized light. …”
