    摘要: A passive speckle-suppressing diffuser includes a microlens array for diffusing a light field originating from one or more coherent light beams, and a diffractive optical element mounted in series with the microlens array and having a pixelated thickness distribution, characterized by a spatial variation across the diffractive optical element, to impose a spatially varying phase shift on the light field. The pixelated thickness distribution may be configured such that the spatially varying phase shift suppresses speckle of the light field while minimizing introduction of distinct diffraction structure. A method for passive speckle-suppressing diffusion a light field originating from one or more coherent light beams may include refracting the light field, through a microlens array, to diffuse the light field, and imposing a spatially varying phase shift on the light field to decohere the light field without introducing any first-order diffraction components deflected beyond angle spread introduced by the microlens array.

    摘要: A display device includes a display panel and a grating layer inside or outside the display panel. The display panel includes R pixels, G pixels and B pixels. The grating layer includes a R grating region, a G grating region and a B grating region; along a direction from a center of a central area of the view field of the display device to a non-central area of the view field, each of grating periods of the R, G and B grating regions gradually decreases; and lights emitted from positions of the display device corresponding to the R pixel, the G pixel and the B pixel are emitted respectively along straight lines formed by the position of the R pixel and the viewer, formed by the position of the G pixel and the viewer and formed by the position of the B pixel and the viewer.
