The present disclosure relates to a holographic reproducing apparatus comprising: a light source configured to supply a reproducing light beam to be incident to a photorefractive crystal, wherein the photorefractive crystal has holographic images recorded therein in a plurality of different angles respectively; a reflective mirror configured to reflect the reproducing light beam emitted from the light source to the photorefractive crystal; and a driving mechanism connected to the reflective mirror and configured to drive the reflective mirror to move on a plane elliptical arc, the plane elliptical arc is defined by using the light source and the photorefractive crystal as two mathematical focuses and using a predetermined constant, so that an incident angle of the reproducing light beam to be incident to the photorefractive crystal varies to form a plurality of reproducing light beams in different angles to be incident to the photorefractive crystal in sequence.

Viewing systems are provided which include a screen and an optical collimation device including two holographic optical elements working by reflection, the first holographic optical element being closer to the screen, the second holographic optical element being closer to an observer. In the system, the screen displays a first object at a first wavelength and a second object at a second wavelength. Each holographic optical element includes two holographic treatments, each treatment being able to reflect one of the two wavelengths and to transmit the other wavelength. The first holographic element and the second holographic element are arranged such that the image of the first object forms at a first distance from the screen and that the image of the second object forms at a second distance from the screen, different from the first distance.

Light from an array of laser light sources are spread to cover the modulating face of a DMD or other modulator. The spread may be performed, for example, by a varying curvature array of lenslets, each laser light directed at one of the lenslets. Light from neighboring and/or nearby light sources overlap at a modulator. The lasers are energized at different energy/brightness levels causing the light illuminating the modulator to itself be modulated (locally dimmed). The modulator then further modulates the locally dimmed lights to produce a desired image. A projector according to the invention may utilize, for example, a single modulator sequentially illuminated or separate primary color modulators simultaneously illuminated.

A holographic media display device with an exterior, including multiple light-emitting displays that each configured to output images, at least one semi-transparent reflector, each reflector configured to receive images from at least one of the displays, to create a hologram display proximate the reflector, control electronics configured to store image media and transmit the image media to the light-emitting displays, and exterior user controls.

A toy includes a plush body integrated with a fan blade LED assembly. The fan blade LED assembly includes one or more fan blades, a motor to drive the blades, an array of programmable LED lights, and a controller configured to control the operation of the motor and LED lights. By controlling these components, the toy can generate images through specific sequences of lighting while the fan blades rotate. The fan blade assembly is encased within a translucent shell embedded in the plush body, enhancing the visual effects of the images created.

Holographic display device and operation method thereof are provided. A holographic display device includes a light source device including a plurality of, light sources; and an imager including a plurality of imaging regions each corresponding to one light source. The imager includes at least one spatial light modulator configured to receive light from the plurality of light sources to form a plurality of holographic images.

A display may have an array of pixels. Each pixel may have a light-emitting diode such as an organic light-emitting diode or may be formed from other pixel structures such as liquid crystal display pixel structures. The pixels may emit light such as red, green, and blue light. An angle-of-view adjustment layer may overlap the array of pixels. During operation, light from the pixels passes through the angle-of-view adjustment layer to a user. The viewing angle for the user is enhanced as the angular spread of the emitted light from the pixels is enhanced by the angle-of-view adjustment layer. The angle-of-view adjustment layer may be formed from holographic structures recorded by applying laser beams to a photosensitive layer or may be formed from a metasurface that is created by patterning nanostructures on the display using printing, photolithography, or other patterning techniques.
