Abstract

A method of manufacturing a holographic optical element, including: irradiating a first surface of a photosensitive substrate with a first layer, and irradiating a second surface of the photosensitive substrate with a second laser. The light emitted by the first laser is spread in an irradiation direction and the light emitted by the second laser is collected in the irradiation direction to form a plurality of groups and a plurality of overlapping angles formed by a progress direction of the light emitted by the first laser and the progress direction of the light emitted by the second laser at a predetermined location of a photosensitive area, and each of the plurality of the overlapping angles are different from each other. A display device including the holographic optical element measured using this method.
