We propose a customizing method of a holographic optical element (HOE) by using a holographic printer, which extends the eye-box with high field of view (FOV) for a holographic augmented reality near-eye display (AR NED). The holographic printer setup to manufacture HOE is presented and a prototype of the AR NED is implemented. To make a simple AR NED system, we propose a total internal reflection holographic printing method using an index-matching optical frame. As a result, the eye-box of the AR NED is extended in both vertical and horizontal directions and FOV of 50° is achieved at the center of the eye-box. Through the simulations and the experimental results, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified.
