Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holographic display technologies struggle to create a realistic 3D image on a transparent LCD monitor, as they often lack the depth and dimensionality required for a seamless hologram-like effect.
Innovation Solution
The holographic display device incorporates a box-like structure with light panels and a translucent diffuser, which illuminates and diffuses light to create a well-lit interior, enhancing the depth and dimensionality of the hologram-like image displayed on a transparent monitor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a transparent LCD monitor is used to display images, then the image can be viewed from different angles, but the image appears the same regardless of viewing angle and lacks realistic 3D depth
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into multiple components: a transparent LCD monitor for base image display, LED light panels positioned at different locations, and translucent diffusers. Each component serves a specific function - the LCD provides the 2D image, LEDs provide directional lighting, and diffusers scatter light to create depth perception. This segmentation allows the system to overcome the limitations of a single transparent display component.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from 2D flat display to 3D holographic-like display by adding spatial dimensionality through strategically positioned light panels and diffusers. The light panels are placed at different heights and angles around the monitor, creating multi-dimensional lighting that simulates depth and volume, transforming the flat 2D image into a perceived 3D holographic image.
2Ease of manufacture
If light panels and translucent diffusers are added to create depth and dimensionality, then the hologram-like image becomes more realistic, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent LCD monitor serves multiple functions: it displays the base 2D image and simultaneously acts as a transparent surface that allows LED light panels to illuminate from behind and sides. The translucent diffusers also serve dual purposes by scattering light to create depth while maintaining the visibility of the LCD screen. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses thin translucent diffuser films positioned between the LED light panels and the LCD monitor. These thin films are easy to install and integrate into the existing display structure, adding the necessary light scattering function without requiring complex mechanical structures or rigid components. The flexible nature of these films simplifies manufacturing and assembly.

AI summary
A holographic display device for presenting a hologram-like image and a method of use are disclosed. The holographic display device includes a box-like structure, a translucent panel, and light panels extending the entire length of the box-like structure. The light panels position between the box-like structure and the translucent panel. The holographic display device includes a transparent monitor connecting the box-like structure at its front end. The transparent monitor receives and displays an image. The light panels illuminate light and the translucent panel diffuses, blends, and evenly distributes the light in the interior. Transmitted shadowing to the monitor provides a realistic appearance. A unique image capturing system for capturing the image to be displayed on the transparent monitor is also disclosed. The image capturing system transmits the image to the holographic display device in real-time or as a pre-recorded image using wired or wireless protocols.
