Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A holographic system comprises a display device and a waveguide pupil expander. The display device is arranged to display a hologram and to output spatially modulated light in accordance with the hologram. The waveguide pupil expander is configured to receive spatially modulated light from the display device at the input port thereof and to expand the viewing window of the system. The waveguide pupil expander comprises first and second substantially planar reflective surfaces arranged in parallel having an optically transparent material therebetween. The first reflective surface is fully reflective and the second reflective surface is partially reflective such that light is guided from the input port to an output port at the second reflective surface by a series of internal reflections. The optically transparent material is formed by a layered glass structure arranged to maintain the integrity of the waveguide in the event of breakage of glass.

Abstract: A system and method includes a display device comprising a spatial light modulator arranged to output spatially modulated light to form an image. The system further includes a waveguide pupil expander configured to receive spatially modulated light from the display device at an input port thereof and to expand the viewing window of the system. The system further comprises a controller. In examples, the controller is configured to control the spatially modulated light output by the display device, such as to control (e.g., turn off) a light source of the display device, in response to a signal indicating detection of the breakage of glass. The signal indicating detection of the breakage of glass may be generated in response to the detection of stray laser light of the holographic system by an eye-tracking system.

Abstract: A projection system arranged to receive an image for projection. The image is a colour image comprising a first colour component and a second colour component. The system is arranged to calculate a first hologram of the first colour component and a second hologram of the second colour component. The system is further arranged to add content of the second colour component to the first colour component before calculating the first hologram. The first hologram contains information of the first colour component and information of at least a portion of the second colour component. The system is further arranged to form a first holographic reconstruction by illuminating the first hologram with first colour light and to form a second holographic reconstruction by illuminating the second hologram with second colour light. The first holographic reconstruction changes the chromaticity of the at least a portion of the second colour component.

Abstract: Systems and methods of determining a hologram of an image for a system comprising a display device and viewing system are disclosed. Some embodiments implement a multi-stage procedure comprising (i) determining a first complex light field at an entrance pupil of the viewing system, (ii) determining a second complex light field at a sensor plane of a sensor of the viewing system, (iii) determining a third complex light field at the entrance pupil, and (iv) determining a fourth complex light field at the display plane. Some embodiments include extracting a hologram from a data set corresponding to the fourth complex light field.

Abstract: A holographic system comprises a spatial light modulator and a pupil expander. The spatial light modulator is arranged to display a hologram of an image and to output spatially modulated light encoded with the hologram. In embodiments, the pupil expander comprises a plurality of optical fibres, each optical fibre having an input end and an output end. The pupil expander is arranged so that spatially modulated light output by the spatial light modulator is coupled into the input end of each optical fibre and output from the output end thereof to a viewing area. Each of the plurality of optical fibres is arranged to propagate the received spatially modulated light received at its input end so as to expand an exit pupil of the system in a first dimension, typically corresponding to a dimension of the viewing area.
