For the waveguide displays, low diffraction efficiency and narrow response bandwidth at high spatial frequency limit the development of coupling elements. In this paper, a dual-monomer, with higher and lower refractive index modulation separately, allyl propionate H-PDLC system is proposed. After experimental optimization, the diffraction efficiency of prepared high transmittance (more than 90% in the visible spectrum) H-PDLC gratings is up to 91%, and the response bandwidth is 99 nm at 973 lp/mm. By increasing the proportion of initiator and changing the radiation conditions, the diffraction efficiency is optimized to 75.4% and the response bandwidth is 29 nm at 2941 lp/mm. The experiments demonstrate that the high-frequency H-PDLC gratings have considerable application prospects as coupling elements for augmented reality optical waveguide display systems.
