    摘要: There is provided ahead-up display in a vehicle arranged to display a picture, the head-up display comprises a first optical sub-system disposed in an upper region of the windscreen and a second optical sub-system disposed underneath the dashboard of the vehicle proximate a lower region of the windscreen. The first optical sub-system is arranged to output a light field. The first optical sub-system comprises a light source and a spatial light modulator. The light source is arranged to emit light. The spatial light modulator is arranged to receive the light from the light source and spatially-modulated the light in accordance with a computer-generated hologram displayed on the spatial light modulator. The second optical sub-system is arranged to receive the light field from the first optical sub-system and project the light field onto a windscreen of the vehicle to form a virtual image on the windscreen.

    摘要: A light engine arranged to form an image visible from a viewing window. The light engine comprises: a display device arranged to display a hologram of the image and spatially modulate light in accordance with the hologram; a hologram replicator arranged to receive the spatially modulated light and provide a plurality of different light propagation paths for the spatially modulated light from the display device to the viewing window; and a control device disposed in an optical path between the first replicator and the second replicator. The control device is angled such that light from the first replicator is incident at an acute angle on the control device, and each cell of the array is switchable between a first state and a second state.

    摘要: An optical system and a method of calculating a hologram of a virtual image for the optical system is described. The optical system comprises a display device arranged to display the hologram and a waveguide arranged to replicate the hologram. The method comprises determining a sub-hologram of a virtual image point within an area defined by straight line paths from the virtual image point to the perimeter of an entrance pupil of a viewer. The area comprises at least part of a virtual replica of the display device formed by the waveguide.

    摘要: There is disclosed herein a display device comprising a picture generating unit, a waveguide pupil expander and a viewer-tracking system. The picture generating unit comprises a first display channel, a second display channel and a controller. The first display channel is arranged to output first spatially-modulated light of a first colour. The first spatially-modulated light corresponds to a first picture. The second display channel is arranged to output second spatially-modulated light of a second colour. The second spatially-modulated light corresponding to a second picture. The controller is arranged to drive the first display channel and second display channel. The waveguide pupil expander comprises a pair of parallel reflective surfaces. The waveguide pupil expander defines an input port and a viewing window. The input port is arranged to receive the first spatially-modulated light and the second spatially-modulated light. The viewing window is an area or volume within which a viewer may view the first picture and the second picture. The pair of parallel reflective surfaces is arranged to guide the first spatially-modulated light and the second spatially-modulated light from the input port to the viewing window by a series of internal reflections. The reflectivity of a first reflective surface of the pair of parallel reflective surfaces is provided by a graded coating. The graded coating is partially transmissive to light of the first colour and light of the second colour. The transmissivity of the graded coating is non-achromatic. The viewer-tracking system is arranged to determine a viewing position within the viewing window. The controller is arranged to maintain as substantially constant the colour balance of the first and second picture as seen from the viewing position based on the viewing position determined by the viewer-tracking system.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments include a display system comprising a first waveguide pupil expander comprising an input port, output port, a first pair of parallel surfaces, and a second pair of parallel surfaces. The first pair of parallel surfaces is orthogonal to the second pair of parallel surfaces and arranged to light guide a diffracted or diverging (e.g. holographic) light field from the input port to the output port by internal reflection therebetween. A first surface of the first pair of parallel surfaces is partially transmissive-reflective such that the light field is divided at each internal reflection and a plurality of replicas of the light field is transmitted through a region of the first surface that forms the output port. The second pair of parallel surfaces is also arranged to light guide the light field from the input port to the output port by at least one internal reflection.
