摘要

Abstract

Recent advancements show the potential of cascaded metalenses in near-eye display applications

achieving performance that rivals traditional eyepiece systems. By leveraging the human pupil as an aperture and taking into account practical factors such as eye relief

pupil size

and display dimensions

this approach suggests a bright future for the incorporation of meta-optics in cutting-edge near-eye display technologies.
