Only one planar optics technology – diffractive waveplates – has shown capability to match large sizes and low-cost of Fresnel optics and the bandwidth of refractive optics. Electrically switchable and tunable with low-power controls, the thinnest lenses, prisms, and holograms make diffractive waveplate optics best suitable for AR/VR applications.
