3D holographic display device and operating method of the same
A three-dimensional holographic display device includes a light emitting diode (LED) array including a plurality of light sources controlled to sequentially output light according to a preset pattern, a lens configured to refract light incident from the LED array, a spatial light modulator (SLM) configured to modulate light incident from the lens, and a processor configured to generate a plurality of holographic signals each comprising depth information adjusted according to an arrangement location of each of the plurality of light sources, and for each of the plurality of light sources, control the SLM to modulate the light based on a holographic signal corresponding to the light source.
Display panel
A display panel (1) comprising a body of optical material, the body having at least one optical image recorded therein in an encoded manner, wherein the image is selectively reconstructable and viewable (5, 6, 7) by illuminating the panel (1) using at least one light source (3a, 3b, 3c) under selected illumination conditions, wherein the image is reconstructable and viewable (5, 6, 7) such that at least one first optical property or parameter of the reconstructed image (e.g. its geometry, position in space, colour, its dynamic appearance) is selectable in value from amongst variable values of the at least one first optical property or parameter, or whose value is actively modifiable over time, as a function of or in dependence on the value of at least one second optical property or parameter of the illumination conditions of the at least one light source (e.g. its/their position(s) or spacing(s) relative to the panel (1), its/their colour, brightness/optical intensity, polarisation, direction of light ray propagation, application of a scanning technique to illuminate the panel (1)) which is selectable from amongst variable values thereof or which is actively modifiable in value over time.
