This presentation explains the key benefits of inkjet coated high index of refraction nanoimprint materials and high index of refraction light absorbing black materials in XR waveguide manufacturing. With the inkjet nanoimprint materials, coating film thicknesses can be controlled to obtain locally optimized film thicknesses for the specific nanoimprint process. This process allows a more controlled way to optimize the residual layer thickness and total efficiency of the waveguide. Internal reflections within the AR waveguide are a major source for reduced contrast. The index matching light absorbing material provides a simple solution for controlling the internal reflections. When high refractive index substrate edges are coated with matching refractive index light absorbing coatings, there is a clear reduction in reflected and scattered light compared with non-RI matched solutions.
