Parallel Rays Filter for Real 3D Image Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies in television and cinema produce bi-dimensional images, 3D television produces images for each eye but lacks realism, and holography provides static images that cannot be transmitted or recorded, while parallel rays filters have low resolution due to fixed optical cells and non-variable focal axes of lenses.
Innovation Solution
Capturing and manipulating rays to form real images using liquid crystals with movable windows, divergent or convergent lenses, and flexible lenses with translation and rotation movements to achieve higher resolution and variable focal axes, enabling 3D image capture, storage, and transmission without glasses, and projection from multiple angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If parallel rays filter with fixed optical cells is used, then device structure is simple, but resolution is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming fixed optical cells into movable optical cells that can change position and orientation. The optical cells are mounted on movable supports that allow them to translate and rotate, enabling dynamic adjustment of the optical path. This dynamic configuration allows the system to capture rays from multiple angles and improve resolution while maintaining reasonable device complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the optical system into multiple independent optical cells, each capable of capturing rays from specific directions. By dividing the overall optical function into numerous small, independent units that can be individually positioned and oriented, the system achieves high resolution through multi-angle ray capture while keeping each individual cell structurally simple.
2Device complexity
If lenses with fixed focal axis are used, then device structure is simple, but field of vision coverage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements movable lenses with variable focal axes that can translate and rotate to track objects and adjust the field of vision. The lenses are mounted on movable supports that enable dynamic repositioning, allowing the system to cover a wide range of angles and adapt to different viewing requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through standardized mechanical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal optical system where movable optical cells and lenses can be positioned and oriented to perform multiple functions - capturing rays from various angles, tracking moving objects, and adjusting focus. This multi-functional design allows a single device structure to adapt to different field of vision requirements without requiring complex specialized components for each function.
3Measurement precision
If 3D television with light filter glasses is used, then depth perception is achieved, but image realism is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the need for light filter glasses by using a different approach - capturing actual rays from multiple angles directly with movable optical cells and reconstructing the three-dimensional image through ray manipulation. This removes the intermediary filtering step that reduces image realism while still achieving depth perception through genuine multi-angle ray capture and geometric optics.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates accurate copies of the original light rays by capturing them at multiple angles and positions, then reconstructing the three-dimensional image through optical manipulation. This ray copying approach preserves the authentic optical properties of the original scene, providing both depth perception and image realism without requiring viewers to wear filtering glasses.
4Adaptability or versatility
If holography is used, then multiple images in flat surface are achieved, but images are static and cannot be transmitted or recorded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the static holographic recording mechanism with a dynamic optical system using movable optical cells and lenses that can capture and transmit rays in real-time. This mechanical-to-optical substitution enables the system to produce multiple images from different angles while maintaining the capability for transmission and recording through conventional optical and electronic means, overcoming the static nature of traditional holography.
