We present a full-color holographic augmented reality near-eye display using a Pancharatnam-Berry phase lens (PBP lens) and its aberration correction method. Monochromatic and chromatic aberrations of the PBP lens are corrected by utilizing complex wavefront modulation of the holographic display. A hologram calculation method incorporating the phase profile of the PBP lens is proposed to correct the monochromatic aberration. Moreover, the chromatic aberration is corrected by warping the image using the mapping function obtained from ray tracing. The proposed system is demonstrated with the benchtop prototype, and the experimental results show that the proposed system offers 50° field of view full-color holographic images without optical aberrations.
