Light-emitting devices for motor vehicles are provided, which comprise a reflection hologram. A light-guiding body is provided to direct light from a light source arrangement onto the hologram.

There is herein defined optics (e.g. an array of optics) forming an optical beam to either produce a collimated or diverging/converging beam emerging from a virtual source point to illuminate a hologram. There is also described an optical beam illuminating a reflection hologram from the front and a further configuration where an optical beam combined with a holographic optical element (HOE) minor enables rear illumination of a reflection hologram.

The disclosure provides an augmented reality (AR) device, a notebook, and smart glasses. The AR device includes a laser source, a spatial light modulator (SLM), and a hologram optical element (HOE). The laser source provides a coherent laser ray. The SLM provides a diffraction pattern solely corresponding to the coherent laser ray. When the SLM receives the coherent laser ray, the diffraction pattern diffracts the coherent laser ray as a hologram in response to the coherent laser ray. The HOE provides a concave mirror effect merely in response to a wavelength of the coherent laser ray, wherein the HOE receives the hologram and magnifies the hologram as a stereoscopic virtual image.

A mobile hologram apparatus is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a sheet folded along preformed creases into a pyramid structure configured to be actuated between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. The pyramid structure has a base section and a top section connected by four side sections. The pyramid structure in the compressed state has a height that is less than 1/10th the height of the pyramid structure in the uncompressed state. The apparatus also includes an elastic band connected to a perimeter of the base section of the pyramid structure and configured to cause the pyramid structure to self-actuate from the compressed state to the uncompressed state.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a full-color holographic optical element in a full-color holographic optical element manufacturing apparatus including a lens and a holographic recording medium located farther away than a focal length of the lens, the method including: allowing a signal beam including a mixture of laser beams having wavelengths of R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue) to be incident on the lens; and recording a hologram in such a manner that a reference beam including a mixture of laser beams having wavelengths of R, G, and B is allowed to be incident on the holographic recording medium, wherein the holographic recording medium is configured with a single medium.

A mobile device is provided which is capable of displaying a hologram. The mobile device includes a main body including a screen; a light guide member disposed above the screen; an entrance optical member disposed on a surface of the light guide member; and an image hologram disposed on a surface of the light guide member and laterally spaced apart from the entrance optical member. When an area of the screen corresponding to the entrance optical member emits a light, a holographic image stored in the image hologram is displayed above the light guide member.

A main object of the present disclosure is to provide a hologram structure having excellent forgery preventability and designability. The present disclosure achieves the object by providing a hologram structure comprising: a hologram layer including a reflection type hologram forming region carrying a recorded phase type Fourier transform hologram that transforms an incident light from a point light source into a desired optical image; and a vapor deposition layer formed so as to come into contact with a concavo-convex surface of the reflection type hologram forming region of the hologram layer, and a size of the reflection type hologram forming region in plan view is in a range of 5 mm square or more and 50 mm square or less.

An illumination device has a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam, and an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam, wherein the optical device comprises a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area.

This application discloses an in-line system and method for measuring the optical performance of an HOE in motion during a roll-to-roll fabrication process.

To provide an authentication device and method for a security medium including a reflective volume hologram having a light source disposed on the front surface side of the reflective volume hologram so that light emitted therefrom is incident on the reflective volume hologram, a first observation device disposed in a pre-designed diffraction direction of the reflective volume hologram, and a second observation device disposed in a direction other than the pre-designed diffraction direction of the reflective volume hologram. Light including a pre-designed diffraction wavelength is emitted from the light source to be incident on the reflective volume hologram, and when the light amount observed in the first observation device is larger in the diffraction wavelength than in other wavelengths, and the light amount observed in the second observation device is smaller in the diffraction wavelength than in other wavelengths, it is determined that the reflective volume hologram is genuine.
