    摘要: A volumetric display system for displaying a three-dimensional image. The volumetric display system includes a multi-plane volumetric display with display elements; a graphics processing unit to process the aforesaid image to generate image planes corresponding thereto; and a projector communicably coupled to the aforesaid elements. The projector includes a light source for emitting a light beam; a spatial light modulator to modulate the emitted light beam; a telecentric projection arrangement to direct the modulated light beam towards the display elements, whilst providing a substantially-constant magnification of the modulated light beam; and a driver module coupled to the light source, the spatial light modulator. The driver module receives the image planes from the graphics processing unit, and projects the image planes upon the display elements, by way of the modulated light beam.

    摘要: An apparatus for displaying a three-dimensional image. The apparatus includes a light source, an intensity modulator to modulate an intensity of a given light beam, a mirror device to modulate spatially the intensity-modulated light beam at a given time instant, a first optics to collimate the spatially-modulated light beam and an image waveguide comprising an in-coupling structure to receive the collimated light beam and an out-coupling structure comprising out-coupling sites. The image waveguide directs the collimated light to the out-coupling structure which selectively redirects multiple reflections towards a segmented optical structure comprising at least two types of segments to redirect a first part of the multiple reflections to form a first type image point P1 at a first focal distance d1, d1′ and a second part of the multiple reflections to form a second type image point P2 at a second focal distance d2, d2′.

    摘要: A display system including an image source, an optical image deflector unit with an image entry surface, and a first optics arranged between the image entry surface and the image source. The image source generates image information for one or more focal distances which is directed towards the image entry surface by the first optics. The optical image deflector unit includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is arranged to reflect the directed image information towards a semi-reflective outcoupling surface, with an angle of incidence higher than a first angle. The semi-reflective outcoupling surface is arranged between the first and the second surface to reflect the reflected one or more image information towards the first surface, with an angle of incidence lower than the first angle. The image entry surface is arranged between the image source and a semi-reflective outcoupling surface.

    摘要: A display system and a method for displaying a three-dimensional image. A light source is employed to emit a light beam towards a first optics. The first optics is employed to collimate and form the light beam and provide the collimated light beam towards a spatial light modulator. The spatial light modulator is employed to modulate the collimated light beam and the modulated light beam is provided to a first direction. A first optical image expander is inclined at a first angle ‘α’ in respect to the first direction and is employed to reflect the modulated light beam to a second direction. A second optical image expander is inclined at a second angle ‘β’ in respect to the second direction and is employed to reflect the reflected light beam to a third direction. A screen element is arranged on the optical path for displaying a three-dimensional image.
