  • Patent number: 11385595
    Abstract: Disclosed are a refractive optical screen and a floating hologram system using the same. The refractive optical screen is a refractive optical screen which refracts incident light beams and adjusts a travelling direction of the light beams, and includes a prism array in which a plurality of prisms refracting one or more light beams toward a viewing direction of a viewer located at the front side of the refractive optical screen is arranged in a line, and one or more virtual images generated by the one or more refracted light beams simultaneously form a floating hologram arranged in the viewing direction.

  • Patent number: 10761342
    Abstract: A floating hologram apparatus includes a display including a first output area to output a first hologram image and a second output area to output a second hologram image and a prism array positioned in front of the display and configured to refract rays of the first hologram image and the second hologram image. The prism array includes multiple prisms of which a first facet to which a ray of the second hologram image is incident and a second facet to which a ray of the first hologram image is incident have different angles.

  • Patent number: 10234692
    Abstract: An optical element may be arranged, relative to an observer, in front of first and second displays. The optical element may include a prism array in which multiple prisms are arranged in series. The optical element may refract light rays incident into one or more prisms toward a viewing direction of the observer in front of the optical element. Virtual images generated by the refracted light rays may generate a floating hologram in the viewing direction of the observer. The virtual images corresponding to the images output from the first display and the second display may be generated between the optical element and the displays. That is, the observer may perceive the virtual images corresponding to the images output from the first display and the second display by the refracted light rays toward the viewing direction of the observer when the observer sees the images through the optical element.

  • Publication number: 20180067329
    Abstract: A floating hologram apparatus that generates a floating hologram includes: a display; an optical element in front of the display; a memory configured that stores chromatic dispersion data representing degrees of refraction of light rays; a compensated image generation unit configured that generates a compensated image by rearranging sub-pixels of each pixel of the original image based on the chromatic dispersion data; and an output unit that outputs the compensated image.
