[LCT2-3(Invited)] Emerging Near-eye Displays with Pancharatnam-Berry Optical Elements

*TAO ZHAN1, JIANGHAO XIONG1, JUNYU ZOU1, GUANJUN TAN1, SHIN-TSON WU1 (1. University of Central Florida (United States of America))

Keywords:near-eye displays, flat optics, liquid crystals, Pancharatnam-Berry phase

Near-eye displays with enhanced images quality are developed with planar optics employing Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase. Advanced broadband PB deflectors and lenses are fabricated to enhance the apparent pixel density and reduce the chromatic aberrations in immersive near-eye displays. Both simulation and experimental results are presented.
