Abstract

Provided are a grating device, a screen including the grating device, a method of manufacturing the screen, and a display apparatus including the screen. The grating device includes a transparent substrate and a diffraction grating arranged on the transparent substrate, the diffraction grating includes a plurality of meta-diffraction patterns, and each meta-diffraction pattern has a curved shape with a center of curvature provided in a direction parallel to the substrate. The screen includes a first polarizer, a second polarizer arranged next to the first polarizer, and a diffraction grating that is transparent to polarized light that has passed through the second polarizer and reflects polarized light having a polarization direction perpendicular to the polarized light, wherein the diffraction grating includes a plurality of meta-diffraction patterns, each meta-diffraction pattern having a curved shape with a center of curvature positioned in a travelling direction of incident light.
