Abstract
An optical element for a Head Mounted Display ('HMD') includes a lightguide. The lightguide is embedded in the optical element and optically coupled to receive display light and direct the display light in an eyeward direction. The lightguide includes an eyeward hologram, a scene-side hologram, and a propagation region disposed between the eyeward hologram and the scene-side hologram. The eyeward hologram is configured to reflect a wavelength range of the display light that is incident upon the eyeward hologram at a specific angle. The scene-side hologram is configured to reflect the wavelength range of the display light that is incident upon the scene-side hologram at the specific angle.
