Abstract: Provided is a holographic printer using a mechanical shutter having adjustable exposure time and no vibration. The holographic printer according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light source; a modulator for generating a holographic fringe pattern in hogel units; a stage on which a hologram recording medium is placed; a driving part for moving the position of the stage in hogel units; and a shutter for periodically exposing an object light due to the holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator to the hologram recording medium. The shutter comprises: a rotation plate having formed therein an arc-shaped opening which exposes the object light due to the holographic fringe pattern; and a motor for rotating the rotation plate. Therefore, the exposure period and exposure time of the shutter can be variously adjusted by adjusting the rotational state of the rotation plates having the arc-shaped opening formed therein.

Abstract: Provided is a hologram image normalization method for a holographic printer. In a holographic printing method according to an embodiment, generating, encoding, and normalizing for the (n+1)-th hogel are performed in parallel with loading and recording of a normalized hologram for the n-th hogel, and moving and waiting for the (n+1)-th hogel. Accordingly, a global maximum value and a global minimum value for normalization may be calculated as approximate estimation values, and a hologram generation process and a printing process may be performed in parallel, so that a total printing time may be minimized and memory usage may be optimized when holographic printing is performed.

Abstract: Provided is a holographic optical element printing method using a tunable focus lens and a rotating mirror. According to an embodiment, a holographic printer includes: a first optical engine and a second optical engine configured to adjust a phase of an incident collimated beam and emit the collimated beam; and a first reduction optical system and a second reduction optical system configured to reduce the beam emitted from the first optical engine and the second optical engine and to allow the beam to enter a holographic material, wherein each of the first optical engine and the second optical engine includes: a rotating mirror configured to reflect while adjusting the phase of the incident collimated beam through rotation; and a tunable focus lens configured to refract while adjusting the phase of the incident collimated beam reflected from the rotating mirror through focus tuning. Accordingly, by using a combination of a tunable focus lens and a rotating mirror, instead of using an SLM of a holographic printer, quality of an HOE may be enhanced, a printing time per hogel may be reduced and a total recording time may be greatly reduced when holographic printing of the HOE is performed.

Abstract: A laser light source shutter system includes a light source, a variable focus optical element to transmit a beam emitted from the light source, a pinhole located on an optical path through which the beam travels from the variable focus optical element, and a controller to control a transmission and blocking of the beam by controlling a focal length of the variable focus optical element to be equal to a distance between the variable focus optical element and the pinhole or to be equal to other distances different from the distance. Therefore, a laser light source shutter free from vibration can be realized electronically with a low cost and a high light-blocking rate using a variable focus optical element such as a variable focus lens and a variable focus mirror.

Abstract: A holographic printer using a vibration-free mechanical shutter is provided. A holographic printer, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a light source which emits light; a modulator which modulates the light emitted from the light source to generate a holographic fringe pattern in a hogel unit; a stage on which a holographic recording medium, on which a holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator is to be recorded in a hogel unit, is placed; a driving part which moves a position of the stage in a hogel unit; and a shutter which periodically exposes, to the holographic recording medium, object light generated by the holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator, wherein the shutter includes a rotating plate having a slit that exposes the object light by means of the holographic fringe pattern, and a motor rotating the rotating plate. Accordingly, by applying a mechanical shutter having a structure in which vibration does not occur to the holographic printer, it is possible to prevent degradation of hologram recording quality caused by vibration generated during opening/closing of the shutter.

Abstract: Provided is a method in which, when configuring an HUD that produces a holographic image at a distance using a holographic optical element (HOE), an HOE capable of correcting aberrations generated by a projection optical system is manufactured and used to improve the quality of an HUD image. A method for manufacturing an HOE for HUD according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: measuring aberrations generated by an optical system that projects an image of a display device; recording the measured aberrations in a master HOE; reproducing an aberrated wavefront of the optical system by playing the master HOE on a display plane on which the image of the display device is expressed; and causing an interference of the reproduced aberrated wavefront and a spherical wavefront irradiated from the HUD image plane on which the image of the display device is created, and recording the interference in the HOE. Accordingly, when configuring the HUD producing an image at a distance using the HOE, the quality of the HUD image can be improved by measuring aberrations in the projection optical system, creating a master HOE that reproduces the measured aberrations, and manufacturing a HOE that corrects the aberrations, and correcting aberrations generated in the projection optical system.

Abstract: A continuous hologram recording method is provided. A holographic printer according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light source that emits light; a modulator that modulates the light emitted from the light source, to generate a holographic fringe pattern in units of hogels; a stage having placed thereon a hologram recording medium on which a holographic fringe pattern generated by the modulator is to be recorded in units of hogels; a first driving unit that moves the position of the stage in a first axial direction by using a first-type motor; and a second driving unit that moves the position of the stage in a second axial direction by using a second-type motor different from the first type. Accordingly, continuous hologram recording is enabled by appropriately implementing a motor that moves the stage on which the hologram recording medium is placed, according to vibration characteristics, thereby remarkably reducing the printing time for large holograms, which used to take several days to tens of days, and thus accelerating the commercialization of hologram printing.
