Title: Holographic display system and method for expanding a display region
Inventor: CHRISTIAN FIELDHOUSE
IPC: G03H1/22
Filed: 2022-08-02
Abstract: A spatial filter 400 for positioning in a Fourier plane of a holographic display system comprises a set of apertures 402-416, wherein each aperture in the set of apertures is switchable between a substantially transmissive and a substantially non-transmissive state. The set of apertures comprises a plurality of subsets of apertures, and each subset comprises at least one aperture. Each of the subsets of apertures corresponds to a Fourier transform of a target light field, F(H), wherein F(H) substantially does not overlap a Fourier transform of a complex conjugate of the corresponding target light field, F(H*), in the Fourier plane. The union of the set of apertures forms a shape which is at least one of simply connected (i.e. the shape being free of holes, gaps or discontinuities) and substantially space filling (i.e. the shape perimeter having no holes or gaps). The shape may be a simple polygon and may be tessellated, for example tessellated on a rhombic grid. The shape may dodecagonal (twelve-sided), with two-fold symmetry, such as in the form of a serif-font “I” or “H”. Also disclosed is a holographic display system and a method of displaying a holographic image, both using said spatial filter. The selectively switchable spatial filter may be used to block unwanted noise components in the Fourier plane, thus improving the quality of the displayed holographic image. The display system may also use an image-replicating combiner (replicator) to achieve increased eye-box size (i.e. pupil expansion).
