[Problem] To provide an illumination system with which a visual effect is provided such that it is possible to give an appearance of expanding depth on the far side of a wall face, even if a person stands directly in front thereof. [Solution] An illumination system (100) comprises a light source (130), and a reflection board (120) that provides a reflection face that reflects illumination light from the light source (130). The reflection lace of the reflection board (120) is a processed reflection face in which are disposed a plurality of grooves which are very narrow parallel straight lines or parallel curved lines with respect to a flat plane. A support body (110) supports the light source (130) facing and in close proximity to the processed reflection board of the reflection board (120). Light points appear, arranged perpendicularly in the center of the reflection board (120) facing the light source. The formation locations of virtual images of each of the light points are formed further in the depth direction from the processed reflection board the further apart they are vertically, and thus a viewer has the sense of viewing a light beam track which is formed when a horizontal plane, which seemingly expands horizontally in the depth of the wall face, is illuminated, and has the sense of viewing an expanding space in the depth direction of the wall face.

Implementations of a display device of the present disclosure include a transparent light guide plate in which a light guide plate image that is an original video of an aerial image is formed on a bottom portion, a light source configured to emit light L from a side portion of the light guide plate toward the inside of the light guide plate, a polarization beam splitter disposed in parallel with the light guide plate and above the light guide plate, a λ/4 plate disposed below the light guide plate, and a retroreflective member disposed in parallel with the light guide plate and below the λ/4 plate, which retroreflects the light guide plate image to display the aerial image.

Holographic display device and method of use
11428952 · 2022-08-30 · ·

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.
