Adjustable liquid aperture to eliminate undesirable light in holographic projection

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an adjustable liquid aperture to eliminate the undesirable light in a holographic projection. The aperture is based on hydrodynamic actuation. A chamber is formed with a cylindrical tube. A black droplet is filled in the sidewall of the cylinder tube and the outside space is the transparent oil which is immiscible with the black droplet. An ultrathin glass sheet is attached on the bottom substrate of the device and a black shading film is secured to the central area of the glass sheet. By changing the volume of the black droplet, the black droplet will move to the middle or sidewall due to hydrodynamic actuation, so the device can be used as an adjustable aperture. A divergent spherical wave and a solid lens are used to separate the focus planes of the reconstructed image and diffraction beams induced by the liquid crystal on silicon in the holographic projection. Then the aperture is used to eliminate the diffraction beams by adjusting the size of the liquid aperture and the holographic projection does not have undesirable light.

Division model‐based distortion correction method for head‐mounted displays

“…In a wide variety of application fields, including military, medical science, industry, and entertainment, HMDs work by presenting computer‐generated images in front of the viewers' eyes . However, one of the major problems that they suffer from is a geometrical distortion of the projected virtual image, leading to an uncomfortable visual effect or an inaccurate image information recognition . These distortions are more pronounced in the optical system of a wide field of view (FOV) HMD .…”

[11][12][13] These distortions are more pronounced in the optical system of a wide field of view (FOV) HMD. 14 Moreover, in order to achieve a wide FOV and a compact structure, the current HMDs are generally equipped with the decentered or tilted components.…”

Crosstalk‐free dual‐view integral imaging display

“…Integral imaging display is also regarded as an important three‐dimensional (3D) display . The integral imaging display, which does not require any special glasses or coherent light, presents true 3D images with full parallax and continuous viewpoints . Therefore, the integral imaging display has been adopted to realize dual‐view 3D display .…”

Color holographic display system based on utilization of effective viewing area

“…Holography has huge potential for three-dimensional (3D) display and is considered as an ideal 3D display technology, which can reconstruct the whole optical wave field of the 3D scene and fully satisfy all physiological requirements of the human visual system. [1][2][3][4][5] Spatial light modulator (SLM) is extensively used in many systems that require modulation of light. So, compared with the optical holographic display, the property of the computer-generated holographic display is much more outstanding.…”
