Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional holography 3D displays are bulky, heavy, and suffer from limited viewing angles due to large pixel pitches in LCD devices, leading to 3D cross-talk issues where left eye images are presented to the right eye and vice versa, restricting observer positioning.

Innovation Solution

A hologram display apparatus featuring a display panel with a backlight unit, first and second light path deflecting cells forming prism patterns at predetermined angles, and a phase retarding plate to ensure that left eye and right eye images are accurately directed to their respective eyes without cross-talk, using liquid crystal cells in an ECB mode to control light refraction.
