  • Publication number: 20250191304
    Abstract: There is provided a passthrough virtual reality display with an optional real-world direct view. According to an embodiment, a passthrough virtual reality display system includes: a camera configured to generate a real-world image by shooting a front; a display panel configured to display the real-world image generated by the camera, and having some pixel missed; and a direct view image transmission unit configured to transmit a real-world direct view image entering from the front to the display panel, or block the real-world direct view image. Accordingly, when power supply is interrupted due to discharge of a battery, a real-world direct view image rather than a real-world image is displayed, so that a user can identify an outside situation and can be prevented from being confused or being placed in a dangerous situation.

    Abstract: There are provided a single SLM-based binocular holographic near-eye display and a CGH generation method for the same. According to an embodiment, a holographic near-eye display represents a left-eye hologram image and a right-eye hologram image within a single hologram with different depths, and reconstructs an image by optically separating the left-eye hologram image and the right-eye hologram image. Accordingly, a binocular holographic near-eye display may be implemented with a low-cost/low-form factor without loss of a resolution, an angle of field, a depth representing capability, an eyebox, a frame rate even when the display is implemented by a single SLM.
