Diffraction light guide plate and display device including the same

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a diffraction light guide plate, including a light guide unit, an input diffraction optical device configured to receive light from a light source and diffract the received light, an intermediate diffraction optical device configured to receive the diffracted light from the input diffraction optical device and extend the received light one-dimensionally by diffraction, and an output diffraction optical device configured to receive the extended light from the intermediate diffraction optical device and output the received light from the light guide unit by diffraction. The intermediate diffraction optical device and the output diffraction optical device are separately disposed in regions divided horizontally on the light guide unit, and the intermediate diffraction optical device includes a main intermediate diffraction optical device and an auxiliary intermediate diffraction optical device, which are disposed separate apart from each other vertically on the light guide unit.
