  • Patent number: 12449767
    Abstract: Systems and method disclosed herein include, among other features, receiving an image for display within a display area of a display system, determining a first image component of the image, calculating a hologram of the image, displaying the hologram on a display device and spatially modulating light in accordance with the displayed hologram, and propagating the spatially modulated light through a pupil expander arranged to provide a plurality of different light propagation paths for the spatially modulated light from the display device to the viewing area, wherein each light propagation path corresponds to a respective continuous region of the image owing to the angular distribution of light from the hologram.

  • Publication number: 20230266711
    Abstract: A LIDAR system for scene surveying comprises a spatial light modulator for displaying a diffractive pattern comprising a hologram of a light footprint, and a light source for illuminating the diffractive pattern to form a holographic reconstruction of the light footprint on a holographic replay plane in the scene. The light footprint comprises an array of light features. The system comprises a display driver for controlling the spatial light modulator and changing the diffractive pattern with time. The diffractive pattern is changed with time such that each light feature of the array of light features scans a respective sub-area of the scene. The system comprises a detection system having a plurality of light detecting elements and that is configured such that each light detecting element detects light from a respective individual field of view within the scene. Each sub-area of the scene contains a plurality of individual fields of view.
