Solution Overview

Problem

As display resolution increases in holographic display panels, Fraunhofer diffraction between sub-pixels and the phase plate leads to beam crosstalk, affecting the depth of field and position of stereoscopic images, reducing the display effect.

Innovation Solution

A holographic display panel is designed with a blocking member positioned between sub-pixels and the phase plate, where the width of the blocking member is optimized to block the edge portion of diffracted light beams, eliminating crosstalk and ensuring accurate depth of field, and the phase plate is configured to adjust light beam angles or include sub-phase plates for each sub-pixel.

If display resolution is increased, then image quality is improved, but beam crosstalk increases due to Fraunhofer diffraction

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A blocking member is introduced as an intermediary component between the sub-pixels and the phase plate. This blocking member specifically blocks the edge portions of diffracted light beams that cause Fraunhofer diffraction and beam crosstalk, while allowing the central useful light to pass through to the phase plate, thereby resolving the contradiction between high resolution and beam crosstalk

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful edge portions of diffracted light beams are extracted and blocked by the blocking member. By removing only the problematic edge components that cause crosstalk while preserving the central useful light, the system achieves reduced beam crosstalk while maintaining display resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If blocking member width is increased, then beam crosstalk is reduced, but light transmission is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The blocking member is designed with specific local characteristics: it blocks only the edge portions of light beams where crosstalk occurs, while leaving the central useful light transmission path unobstructed. This localized blocking approach reduces beam crosstalk without significantly impeding overall light transmission to the phase plate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
