[0027] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiment of the present application is described below. Figure 1 , an embodiment of the light field display method in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0028] Step S101: inputting an image signal to be displayed into an LCoS optical machine, generating a driving signal, and deflecting and modulating the liquid crystal molecules of the LCoS optical machine according to the driving signal to obtain reflected light carrying image information;

[0029] It is understandable that the execution subject of the present application may be a light field display device, or a terminal or a server, which is not limited here. The present application embodiment is described by taking a server as the execution subject as an example.

[0030] Specifically, the image signal to be displayed is mapped to spatial coordinates to determine the pixel dot matrix distribution of the LCoS optical machine, so that the position of each pixel corresponds to a specific position in the image signal. According to the pixel dot matrix distribution, the image signal to be displayed is resampled so that the image signal is adapted to the resolution and display requirements of the LCoS optical machine, and a driving signal of the LCoS optical machine is generated. A voltage is applied to the liquid crystal box of the LCoS optical machine to form a voltage distribution of the driving signal, so that the liquid crystal molecules at different positions generate corresponding deflection angles under the action of different voltages. According to the voltage distribution, the deflection angle of the liquid crystal molecules is calculated to obtain the deflection angle distribution of the liquid crystal molecules, which determines how the liquid crystal molecules change the polarization state of the incident light. The polarization state of the incident light is modulated by the deflection angle distribution to generate a polarization state distribution. The polarization state distribution is converted into a spatial frequency distribution by applying Fourier transform. The spatial frequency distribution is filtered to extract the target frequency component carrying the image information, and the target frequency component is converted back to the spatial domain by inverse Fourier transform to obtain the reflected light wavefront distribution carrying the image information. Through the wavefront distribution of the reflected light, the propagation direction of the reflected light is calculated, and spatial filtering is performed to finally obtain the reflected light carrying the image information, ensuring that the reflected light can accurately transmit the image information and achieve high-quality light field display effects.

[0031] Step S102, performing polarization state separation on the reflected light to obtain reflected polarized light and transmitted polarized light, and generating corresponding imaging light according to the reflected polarized light;

[0032] Specifically, the polarization state parameters of the reflected light are extracted, and the polarization ellipse parameters describing the polarization state of the reflected light are extracted from the reflected light. The polarization ellipse parameters include the amplitude, phase and polarization state information of the reflected light, and the first Stokes vector of the reflected light is calculated based on these parameters. The Stokes vector is a set of parameters that can fully describe the polarization state of light. The material properties of the beam splitter wave plate are obtained, including its refractive index, thickness and material composition, and the first Stokes vector is matrix transformed using these material properties to obtain the second Stokes vector. Through matrix operations in linear algebra, it is determined how the polarization state of light changes under the influence of different optical materials. The energy ratio of the second Stokes vector is calculated to determine the energy distribution ratio of the reflected light and the transmitted light under specific conditions. The obtained splitting efficiency parameters are used to describe the energy distribution of light in the beam splitter wave plate. Dynamic ratioing is performed through the splitting efficiency parameters to control the ratio of reflected polarized light and transmitted polarized light to meet the expected optical performance. The polarization state of the reflected polarized light and the transmitted polarized light is detected, and the polarization state feedback signals are obtained by detecting the changes in their polarization states. These signals are used to adjust and optimize the characteristics of the reflected light. According to these feedback signals, the propagation direction of the reflected polarized light is traced in reverse to obtain its angular distribution in space. The spatial angular distribution reflects the change in the directionality of the light after passing through the optical system. Through the spatial angular distribution, the focusing characteristics of the imaging light are simulated and calculated. The focusing characteristics of the imaging light under different conditions are analyzed by computer simulation methods to generate the corresponding imaging light.

[0033] Step S103, adjusting the reflection angle of the imaging light to obtain the refracted light, and performing surface segmentation of the refracted light by the Fresnel lens to obtain concentric annular steps;

[0034] Specifically, the imaging light is angle sampled, the angles of the imaging light at different spatial positions are measured and recorded, and the angle sampling data are obtained. Then, a spatial angle vector model of the imaging light is established based on these data. The model can fully describe the propagation direction and angle change of the light in space. The angle change gradient of the imaging light is calculated through the spatial angle vector model, and the angle change rate of the light in space is determined to ensure that the propagation path of the light can be accurately described. The angle error is analyzed through the angle change gradient to obtain the angle adjustment residual distribution, identify and quantify the errors generated during the angle adjustment process, and adjust the reflection angle of the imaging light according to the angle adjustment residual distribution to ensure that the light can accurately point to the preset direction to form a refraction light. The wavefront phase distribution of the refraction light is sampled, and the detailed data of the wavefront phase is obtained through sampling. The wavefront phase of the refraction light is reconstructed based on these data. The reconstruction process can generate a continuous wavefront phase distribution to ensure that the phase change of the light is smooth and continuous. According to the continuous wavefront phase distribution and the Fresnel lens, the wavefront phase of the refracted and reflected light is modulated step by step and the surface is segmented to obtain the optimal annular step structure parameters. Through mathematical optimization and calculation, the surface structure of the Fresnel lens is determined so that the light can propagate along the expected path when passing through the Fresnel lens. According to the optimal annular step structure parameters, the wavefront of the refracted and reflected light is modulated through the Fresnel lens to obtain concentric annular steps, ensuring that the light can be accurately focused and distributed at the expected position, forming high-quality imaging light, and ultimately achieving accurate light field display effects.

[0035] Step S104, performing reflection focusing on the concentric annular steps to obtain a converged imaging light beam, and performing image amplification processing using the converged imaging light beam to obtain an amplified light field image;

[0036] Specifically, the geometric parameters of the concentric annular steps are extracted. These parameters include detailed structural information such as the height, width and curvature of the steps. Ray tracing is performed on the refractive light incident on the concentric annular steps according to the geometric parameters. The reflection path of the light on the step surface is simulated by calculation to obtain the reflection light path distribution of the refractive light on the step structure. The wavefront deformation calculation is performed on the refractive light through the reflection light path distribution. The wavefront deformation calculation is used to determine the change in the wavefront of the light after it is reflected by the step structure, and the wavefront deformation data is obtained. The wavefront deformation data is used to perform reflection focusing to ensure that the refractive light can be accurately converged into an imaging beam. The focusing characteristics of the converged imaging beam are analyzed to determine the focusing effect of the beam at the focus, and the focal spot size of the converged imaging beam is obtained. The focal spot size reflects the concentration and resolution of the beam at the focus. According to the focal spot size, the point spread function of the converged imaging beam is calculated to obtain the point spread data. The point spread function describes the propagation characteristics of a point light source in an optical system. The spatial convolution of the convergent imaging beam is performed through the point spread data to obtain the initial light intensity distribution of the beam. The spatial convolution is to apply the point spread function to the beam through mathematical operations to obtain its initial light intensity distribution. The initial light intensity distribution of the beam is sampled to obtain discrete light intensity data, and the energy of the convergent imaging beam is normalized according to the discrete light intensity data to obtain the normalized discrete light intensity distribution, ensuring that the energy distribution of the beam in the entire light field is uniform. According to the normalized discrete light intensity distribution, the convergent imaging beam is reconstructed and amplified. Image reconstruction is to convert the light intensity data into a visible image through a computer algorithm, and amplify it to obtain an amplified light field image, thereby achieving high-resolution and high-quality light field display effects.

[0037] Step S105, determining the spatial coordinates of the user's observation eye point according to the amplified light field image, calculating the field angle of the spatial coordinates to obtain field angle parameters, and optimizing the position and angle of the optical element according to the field angle parameters to obtain a corresponding initial light field display image at the user's observation eye point;

[0038] Specifically, the magnified light field image is subjected to spatial coordinate mapping and spatial feature extraction, and these features include information such as brightness, contrast, and texture in the image. According to the spatial distribution characteristics, the spatial position of the user's observation eye point is estimated, and an algorithm such as machine learning or deep learning model is used to infer the user's eye point position to obtain the spatial coordinates of the user's observation eye point. Taking the user's observation eye point as the starting point, the field of view range of the magnified light field image is traced by ray tracing, and the angle distribution of the light at the edge of the field of view is obtained by simulating the path of light emitted from the eye point and propagating in the image. These angle distributions are used to calculate the horizontal field of view angle and the vertical field of view angle at the user's observation eye point, thereby obtaining the field of view angle parameters. According to the field of view angle parameters, the position of the optical element is optimized, and the optimal position parameters of the optical element are determined using a mathematical optimization algorithm to ensure that the user can obtain the best field of view range when observing the image. At the same time, the angle of the optical element is optimized to obtain the optimal optical element angle parameter. The geometric structure of the optical system is precisely adjusted so that the light can propagate in the best path and reach the user's eye point. Imaging is performed through the optimal optical element position parameters and the optimal optical element angle parameters to generate an initial light field display image corresponding to the user's observation eye point. This image is optically adjusted and optimized to ensure that the user can see high-quality images and provide an excellent visual experience.

[0039] Step S106: reconstruct the light field information of the initial light field display picture to obtain a target light field display picture, obtain the user's head movement range to dynamically adjust the display range of the target light field display picture, and output a dynamic light field display picture.

[0040] Specifically, the light direction information of the initial light field display image is extracted, and the direction information of each light ray is extracted from the initial image to form a light direction vector distribution. These direction vectors describe the propagation path of the light in space. According to the light direction vector distribution, the light energy of the initial light field display image is calculated, and the energy conservation and distribution model is used to obtain light energy distribution data. These data reflect the light energy density at each position in the light field. According to the light energy distribution data, the brightness information of the initial light field display image is reconstructed and the dynamic range is mapped. The light energy distribution is converted into visible brightness data using high dynamic range imaging technology to obtain target brightness data. The depth information of the initial light field display image is extracted, and the depth data of the image is obtained using stereoscopic vision or depth sensing technology. These data describe the distance from each point in the image to the observer. According to the depth data, the parallax information of the initial light field display image is reconstructed, and the stereoscopic effect of the image is reconstructed using the parallax principle to obtain the target parallax data. The target brightness data and the target parallax data are fused to obtain fused light field data. Based on the fused light field data, the initial light field display is reconstructed, and the target light field display is generated through the reconstruction algorithm. The display has real optical properties and depth effects. The spatial position and posture data of the user's head are obtained, and the head tracking technology is used to monitor the user's head position and posture in real time. The movement range of the user's head is determined based on these data. According to the movement range of the user's head, the corresponding real-time display range parameters are determined. These parameters describe the range and direction of the image that needs to be dynamically adjusted. According to the real-time display range parameters, the target light field display is cropped and spatially mapped to ensure that the display always matches the user's observation position and angle, and a dynamic light field display is output.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, an LCoS optical machine is used to generate a high-resolution image, and polarization modulation is achieved by deflecting liquid crystal molecules, so that high-quality reflected light can be obtained. The polarization state of the reflected light is separated by a beam splitter to obtain reflected polarized light and transmitted polarized light, and the corresponding imaging light is generated according to the reflected polarized light, so as to achieve full utilization of light energy and precise control of light. By adjusting the reflection angle of the imaging light and dividing the Fresnel lens surface, concentric annular steps are obtained, which effectively realizes the convergence and imaging of light. The image is magnified by using the converged imaging light beam to obtain an enlarged light field image, which improves the visual effect and immersion of the light field display. The spatial coordinates of the user's observation eye point are determined according to the enlarged light field image, and the optimal initial light field display picture is obtained at the user's observation position by calculating the field of view angle and optimizing the position angle of the optical element, so as to achieve dynamic adaptation. The initial light field display picture is reconstructed with light field information to obtain a target light field display picture, and the display range is dynamically adjusted according to the user's head movement range, and a dynamic light field display picture is output, providing continuous viewing angle changes and stable display effects. By extracting and reconstructing multi-dimensional information, holographic light field display is realized, which brings realistic three-dimensional perception and natural interactive experience to users. The present invention uses LCoS optical machine, Fresnel lens, spectroscopic element, etc. to modulate the light field and reconstruct information, which can reduce the complexity of the optical system, realize the miniaturization and lightweight of the equipment, and has the advantages of high imaging quality, large viewing angle range, and simple equipment structure, thereby realizing large-scale light field display, improving user experience, and protecting eyesight.

The image signal to be displayed is resampled according to the new pixel matrix distribution to ensure that each LCoS pixel can accurately represent the local information of the original image, thereby generating a high-quality driving signal. Through bilinear interpolation, image distortion is reduced and image quality is maintained. A voltage is applied to the liquid crystal box of the LCoS optical machine to generate a voltage distribution of the driving signal. Assume that the driving signal is , whose voltage distribution can be expressed as a function ,in is the pixel coordinate of the LCoS optical machine.
