    Abstract: A light combiner combines first light provided by a light source with second light containing an image of an exterior environment and provides the combined light to a user. The light combiner includes a transmissive optical device comprising a first surface on which the first light is incident and a second surface facing the first surface, and branching the first light in a plurality of directions to pass through the second surface, and a holographic optical device on a side of the transmissive optical device facing the second surface and spaced apart from the transmissive optical device. The holographic optical device diffracts light rays branched and transmitted by the transmissive optical device in the plurality of directions, to be respectively focused at a plurality of focal points different from each other and corresponding to the directions, and transmits the second light therethrough to travel toward the plurality of focal points.

    Abstract: A see-through display apparatus includes a display device, and an optical coupler configured to obtain a combined image by combining a first image from the display device with a second image from a path different from a path of the first image, and emit the obtained combined image. The optical coupler includes a first surface on which the first image is incident, a second surface on which the second image is incident, and an exit surface through which the combined image is emitted. A noise reduction prism is disposed between the display device and the optical coupler, and includes inclined surfaces configured to perform path conversion so that, among light of the first image, effective light of a predetermined angle range is incident on the optical coupler and noise light of a remaining angle range remaining from the predetermined angle range is not incident on the optical coupler.

    Abstract: A holographic display apparatus includes: a light source configured to emit light; a spatial light modulator configured to sequentially generate hologram patterns for modulating the light and to sequentially reproduce frames of hologram images based on the hologram patterns; and a controller configured to provide hologram data signals to the spatial light modulator, the hologram data signals being used to sequentially generate the hologram patterns. The controller is configured to further provide, to the spatial light modulator, diffraction pattern data signals for forming periodic diffraction patterns for adjusting locations of the hologram images to be reproduced on a hologram image plane, the diffraction pattern data signals being configured to move the periodic diffraction patterns on the spatial light modulator along a predetermined direction for each of the frames.
