  • Patent number: 11914145
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a floating hologram system. The floating hologram system includes a diffuser configured to form a projection image using light beams transmitted from an image transmitter and diffuse the formed image, and a holographic optical element on which the image diffused from the diffuser is incident and which generates a virtual image floating at a position a predetermined distance therefrom and has a convex lens characteristic. A distance between the diffuser and the holographic optical element is determined based on a focal length of the holographic optical element and a distance from the holographic optical element to the virtual image.
