What's the holographic film for out of interest, is it for focussing somehow?

(I'm kind of curious as to why the lasers can't directly hit the retina from the mirror array)

From my understanding it's just for reflecting the laser light. The lasers are shining parallel to the lens surface initially and thus need to be redirected towards the pupil, this is done with a film.
