A display apparatus includes a first pixel and a second pixel. Each of the first and second pixels includes a first sub-pixel which emits light having a first color, a second sub-pixel which emits light having a second color different from the first color, a third sub-pixel which emits light having a third color different from the first and second colors, and an infrared sub-pixel which emits infrared light. The infrared light emitted from the infrared sub-pixel in the first pixel and the infrared light emitted from the infrared sub-pixel in the second pixel have different intensities from each other.

Art exhibition device and a video picture exhibition method which are capable of providing renditions by a spatial image and a projected image, in combination are provided. The exhibition device includes a display portion configured to image-form a spatial image; and a projector configured to project a video picture onto an object. The video picture exhibit ion method using the exhibition device provides a video picture related to the spatial image projected from the projector disposed in a position hang over the display portion toward an upper surface of the display portion. The display portion is configured to image-form a video picture displayed on a display surface of a display disposed in an attitude inclined under a micromirror array through the micromirror array disposed in light-transmissive fashion as a spatial two-dimensional video picture standing up obliquely in a spatial position lying over the micromirror array.

A smartphone stereoscope including a receptacle for holding a smartphone in a wide-image format position. The receptacle includes magnifying lenses and a partition running parallel to the long sides of the smartphone and aligned with a dividing line between two stereoscopic images arranged side-by-side on the smartphone screen. The partition swivels or pivots on a base between use and folded positions. A lens holder including lens holders for accommodating magnifying lenses is provided on the base along with a support bar. The bar contacts a longitudinal edge of the smartphone and is provided at an upper end of the partition and, in the use position runs transversely to the partition. A clamping means holds a smartphone when the longitudinal edge is put against the support bar. In the folded position the partition, base, support bar and lens holder lie parallel to each other in a plane, or in adjacent planes.

A system may comprise a selectively transparent projection device for projecting an image toward an eye of a viewer from a projection device position in space relative to the eye of the viewer, the projection device being capable of assuming a substantially transparent state when no image is projected; an occlusion mask device coupled to the projection device and configured to selectively block light traveling toward the eye from one or more positions opposite of the projection device from the eye of the viewer in an occluding pattern correlated with the image projected by the projection device; and a zone plate diffraction patterning device interposed between the eye of the viewer and the projection device and configured to cause light from the projection device to pass through a diffraction pattern having a selectable geometry as it travels to the eye.

One disclosed example provides a method for displaying a hologram via a head-mounted display (HMD) device. The method comprises, via a camera system on the HMD device, acquiring image data capturing a surrounding environment by detecting illumination light output by a projector located on a case for the HMD device. A distance is determined from the HMD device to an object in the surrounding environment based upon the image data. The method further comprises displaying via the HMD device a hologram, the hologram comprising a left-eye image and a right-eye image each having a perspective based upon the distance determined.
