Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for providing a heads-up display (HUD) image. The apparatus includes a display configured to emit light with a first polarization, the light including HUD image information, a first wave plate configured to transmit light with a second polarization by shifting a phase of the light with the first polarization by 90 degrees, and a second wave plate configured to transmit light with a third polarization by shifting a phase of a portion of the light with the second polarization by 90 degrees and to reflect another portion of the light with the second polarization toward a user. The light with the third polarization may be transmitted through a windshield.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Provided are a backlight unit and a display device including the backlight unit. The backlight unit includes a first light source configured to provide a light to a light guide plate in a three-dimensional (3D) image on the display panel, a second light source configured to provide a light to the light guide plate in a two-dimensional (2D) image on the display panel, and the light guide plate configured to include, on an upper surface, a first pattern for emitting the light incident from the first light source and the light incident from the second light source toward the display panel, and to include, on a lower surface, a second pattern for emitting the light incident from the second light source toward the display panel.
Abstract:
A light source device may include a first light source, a second light source, a light guide plate (LGP) configured to guide a light incident from at least one of the first light source and the second light source, an optical film configured to form a distribution of directional light by controlling a progress path of a light output from the LGP, and a controller configured to control activation of at least one of the first light source and the second light source in order to control the distribution of directional light.
Abstract:
An augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD) apparatus is provided. A backlight unit (BLU) for an AR HUD includes a light emitting diode (LED) array including a plurality of LEDs, a primary lens array configured to primarily concentrate light output by the plurality of LEDs, a secondary lens array configured to secondarily concentrate light incident through the primary lens array, and a side reflector configured to reflect light traveling toward a side surface above the secondary lens array among light incident through the secondary lens array.
Abstract:
A display device is provided. The display device includes a plurality of diffractive optical elements each configured to emit light guided in a light guide plate to a user. Virtual images by the light are observed by the user at two or more different depths according to the plurality diffractive elements.
Abstract:
A display apparatus and a method of designing the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus may include a display panel including a plurality of pixels to which a plurality of pieces of output information for outputting a three-dimensional image is allocated according to a sequence, and a grating layer including a plurality of grating elements configured to transfer, to the plurality of pixels, directional light according to the sequence, wherein the sequence is determined so that a distance between pieces of output information allocated to neighboring pixels among the plurality of pixels corresponds to a relatively prime number of a number of the plurality of pieces of output information allocated to the plurality of pixels.
Abstract:
A backlight unit includes first light guide plates (LGPs) provided in a line shape, and second LGPs provided in a line shape and disposed between the first LGPs. The backlight unit may include a controller configured to control a plurality of light sources to provide a light to the first LGPs when a three-dimensional (3D) image is displayed on a display panel that receives the light from at least one of the first LGPs and the second LGPs, and to provide the light to the first LGPs and the second LGPs when a two-dimensional (2D) image is displayed on the display panel.
Abstract:
A display device includes a backlight unit. The backlight unit may include a first light guide plate (LGP) comprising a first optical material and a second optical material. The first LGP is configured to emit light guided through the second optical material toward a display panel using the first optical material. The backlight unit may include a second LGP disposed between the first LGP and the display panel. The second LGP is configured to emit light toward the display panel using a diffuser plate provided in a lower portion of the second LGP. The backlight unit may include light sources configured to provide, under control of a controller, light to the first LGP if a three-dimensional (3D) image is displayed on the display panel, and to provide light to the second LGP if a two-dimensional (2D) image is displayed on the display panel.
