  • Patent number: 11822288
    Abstract: A self-interference digital holographic system obtains interference patterns of incident light using a simple geometric phase lens, and obtains a holographic image of a target object using the interference patterns. The self-interference digital holographic is fabricated simply in a low cost and in a miniaturized size, and the use thereof as actual products is extended to a wide range of applications. The phase of incident light is be changed by rotating a polarizer, independently of a change in the optical path. Phase-shifting effects are obtained with fewer errors in all wavelength ranges, and a more accurate holographic image is produced. A single birefringence hologram is obtained by a one-time image-capturing process by simultaneously forming interference patterns from phase-shifted linearly-polarized beams by space division, using a phase shifter on the basis of space division. Moving holographic images can be captured.

  • Patent number: 7136031
    Abstract: The present invention provides a reflection-type three-dimensional display system. The present invention comprises an image providing device that provides elemental images; an image displaying device that displays the elemental images; a projective lens system that is located along the same axis as the image providing device; and a concave mirror array that is located along the same axis as the projective lens system. The projective lens system projects the image that is displayed by the image displaying device to the concave mirror array, and the concave mirror array reflects and integrates the projected image and therefore displays the three-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 7091992
    Abstract: The present invention provides a three-dimensional display system by using Integral Photography (TIP) technology. The present invention comprises an elemental lens switch located between a lens array and an image display for selectively opening and closing each elemental lens; an image processor for generating elemental images and synchronizing them with control signals of the elemental lens switch; an image display for displaying the elemental images; and a lens array comprising elemental lenses, for forming the three-dimensional image by refracting and integrating the elemental images displayed on the display. Hence, it is possible to display three-dimensional images with a wider viewing angle than that of the conventional IP method, because each elemental lens is synchronized with the corresponding elemental image and is switched properly.
