A holographic display comprising light sources (L51, L52, . . . ) in a 2D light source array, lenses (L1, L2, . . . ) in a 2D lens array, a spatial light modulator (SLM) and a beamsplitter, in which there are m light sources per lens, and the light sources are in m-to-one correspondence with the lenses. The beamsplitter splits the rays leaving the SLM into two bundles, one of which illuminates the virtual observer windows for m left eyes (VOWL) and the other illuminates the virtual observer windows for m right eyes (VOWR). In one example, m=1. An advantage is 2D-encoding with vertical and horizontal focusing and vertical and horizontal motion parallax.

A real-time color holographic three-dimensional (3D) display system and method realized by using principles of digital holographic display and a common photographing/projection device array system are provided. For an object O to be displayed, an array of M×N cameras which are anchored to a certain reference point R in a space corresponding to the object O is used to perform spatial spectrum sampling and capturing on any spatial spectrum surface S of the object O with a sampling density being a spatial sampling angle ω_mn. Each acquired spatial spectrum view image I_mn is projected by a corresponding array of M×N projectors in each spatial spectrum capturing direction to a reference surface P_R necessary for restoring 3D information of the original object O. Output of full spatial spectrums of the object O is realized through a spatial spectrum limited stretching function of a holographic functional screen placed on the reference surface P_R which is used on discrete spatial spectrum input image information, thereby achieving digital holographic display intended to restore complex wavefronts.

A 3D content generation system comprising a content generating party that generates 2D content and sends that content to a remote intermediary. The remote intermediary processes the content to facilitate subsequent holographic reconstruction and sends the processed content to a holographic display device which locally generates a 3D holographic reconstruction of the content. An advantage is that 2D content may be processed remotely to provide 3D holographic content.

A holographic display system provides a holographic image suitable for use as a nightlight in a dimly lit environment wherein the only light in the field of view of the user is essentially the light diffracted into the holographic image being replayed. The holographic display system includes a low watt light source, a hologram recorded with a reference beam matching the beam of the light source employed to replay the hologram, and an enclosing structure for holding the lightsource and hologram in registration wherein the enclosure is configured so that the only light emitted from the display system is emitted from the hologram.

This invention relates to optical systems for holographic projectors. We describe a holographic image projection system, the system including: a spatial light modulator (SLM) for displaying a hologram; first optics to provide an input beam to said SLM; second optics to process an output beam from said SLM to provide a displayed image; and a hologram processor to receive image data for display and to output data to said SLM to display a hologram to provide said displayed image; and wherein at least one lens of said first optics or said second optics is encoded in said hologram.

A display device generates a holographic reconstruction of a three dimensional scene from a hologram; the device is operable such that the holographic reconstruction is the Fresnel transform of the hologram and not the Fourier transform of the hologram. With a conventional holographic display, at least some of the holographic reconstruction can always be described as the Fourier transform of the hologram.

A pseudo holographic visual effect is produced by acquiring at least two actual images of a subject wherein each image represents a different viewing angle of the single subject. Intermediary images corresponding to other viewing angles of the subject may be extrapolated from the two actual images or two adjacent images if a sufficient number of actual images are not available to create the desired level of resolution. To create the effect, an initial start image is displayed. Computer based sensors or camera images from a camera are then used to determine any movement of the device or user from the initial position at which the initial image was displayed. Once movement is detected or once the position of the viewer is determined, the initial image is replaced with an image that corresponds to the change in the detected viewing angle or with an image that corresponds to the viewing angle of the viewer. This creates a pseudo holographic effect whereby the orientation of subject of the image appears to remain fixed despite the display or the viewer being moved. Additional layers for the image can be created by acquiring images of a background separately, creating a set of images that correspond to different viewing angles of the background and overlaying the background images with subject images during display.

A holographic display device comprises a first OLED array writing onto a first OASLM, the first OLED array and the first OASLM forming adjacent layers, and a second OLED array writing onto a second OASLM, the second OLED array and the second OASLM forming adjacent layers. The first and the second OASLMs encode a hologram and a holographic reconstruction is generated by the device when an array of read beams illuminates the first and second OASLMs and the first and second OASLMs are suitably controlled by the first and second OLED arrays. Advantages include that this device permits independent control of phase and amplitude, and the device lends itself to compactness.

Hologram recording devices and techniques can be employed to produce wide-field-of-view holograms. In one embodiment, a specialized lens is used to couple an object beam into a holographic recording material without substantially changing the angle of incidence of the object beam. When displayed, images from holograms recorded using technique can have a field-of-view greater than that of the object beam. In another embodiment, one or more aspheric reflective surfaces are used to couple an object beam into a holographic recording material at relatively steep angles.

The invention discloses a holographic display method and a holographic display device based on eye tracking. The holographic display method comprises the following steps: tracking the eyes of a viewer in real time, and acquiring an eye image; judging whether eye coordinates can be determined or not according to the tracked eye image; and when the eye coordinates cannot be determined according to the tracked eye image, reducing the conversion depth of field of a displayed 3D image. Through the way, a user can still view a clear 3D image when eye positions cannot be tracked clearly by a camera.
