摘要： A method is provided for reconstructing an image transmitted through a thick distorting medium. A remote source provides coherent light at the object plane, and a local source, typically derived from the remote source, provides corresponding light that is coherent with respect to the remote source. Light from the remote source is directed through the thick aberrator and into a holographic medium, such as a photorefractive crystal, to interact with corresponding light from the local source and produce a volume hologram. An angularly multiplexed volume hologram, which covers the entire object field, is written into the holographic medium by successive exposures of light from the remote and local sources for successive pixels of the object plane. Light from an object, which comprises two-dimensional information from the object plane, can be reconstructed by the volume hologram after being distorted by the thick aberrator. Light from each point of the object accesses the set of gratings in the volume hologram and reconstructs only the reference wave associated with it. Reconstructed waves emerging from the hologram are then focused by a following lens to form a high resolution image of the object at the image plane of the lens.

摘要： This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for enhancing the brightness and/or contrast ratio of display devices. In one aspect, the display devices can include an annular diffuser that is configured to scatter light into a ring shaped region. The annular diffuser can include a plurality of axicon lenses or holographic features. The reflective display can include an annular diffuser to shift the direction along which most of the modulated light is scattered away from the direction along which light is specularly reflected by the display devices to reduce specular glare and enhance brightness and/or contrast ratio.

摘要： This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus related to an electromechanical display device. In one aspect, an analog interferometric modulator includes a display pixel having a movable reflector, and a movable absorbing layer. The movable absorbing layer is positionable at a variable first distance from an electrode that is substantially transparent over a visible wavelength spectrum. The movable reflector is positionable at a variable second distance from the movable absorbing layer. Changing the first distance and the second distance changes a characteristic of light reflected from the display element.
