Abstract:
Hologram data is generated by dividing hologram data generation area, in which hologram data is generated, into a plurality of element sub-areas, computing base hologram data that pertains to an area smaller than the hologram data generation area and that is to form an optical wavefront of an image to be reconstructed, and assigning, as hologram data of the element sub-areas4, hologram data of an entirety or a part of the area to which the base hologram data pertains. Consequently, the amount of operations for generating a hologram pattern in holographic display is reduced.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems and methods for generating three dimensional holographic images on a transparent display screen with dynamic image control. The system may include a transparent display screen that includes an array of pixels; a driver circuit configured to control each of the pixels in the array of pixels such that the transparent display screen displays an interference fringe pattern, the interference fringe pattern associated with a hologram; and a coherent light source configured to illuminate the transparent display screen with coherent light, wherein transformation of the coherent light by the interference fringe pattern generates a three dimensional holographic image.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for generating an image in a holographic imaging device by causing multiple reflections of a hologram reconstruction light on one side of a display panel in the holographic imaging device. An example device may include a display panel, a semi-transparent mirror layer on the display panel, a mirror layer at a side of the semi-transparent mirror layer opposite to the display panel, and a light irradiation unit opposite to the semi-transparent mirror layer. The light irradiation unit may irradiate a hologram reconstruction light on the semi-transparent mirror layer at a predetermined incident angle. The semi-transparent mirror layer may reflect a portion of the hologram reconstruction light such that the reflected portion of the hologram reconstruction light may be incident on the mirror layer. The semi-transparent mirror layer may transmit the other portion of the hologram reconstruction light to cause interference in the hologram.

Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for generating a holographic image on a transparent screen such that a user can view another scenery image though the screen along with the generated holographic image. Example devices may include an ultraviolet light irradiation unit configured to irradiate an ultraviolet light towards a hologram generating unit. The holographic generating unit may be configured to generate a hologram image in response to the received ultraviolet light. Further, the light irradiation unit and the hologram generating unit may be operable to project the hologram image onto a transparent screen coated with a photochromic material. The light transmittance of the photochromic material coated on the transparent screen may change when a light beam with a specific frequency range is irradiated on the photochromic material. The example device may further include a hologram reconstruction light source configured to irradiate a hologram reconstruction light on the transparent screen.
Abstract:
An authenticity indicator is difficult to be forged and has an authenticity that can be confirmed easily and accurately. The authenticity of the authenticity indicator can be checked by making light enter the authenticity indicator from front side and observing the light emerging from the front side or rear side. The authenticity indicator includes a polarized-light selectively reflecting layer that reflects a specified polarized component of incident light, and a transmission volume hologram layer disposed on the front side of the polarized-light selectively reflecting layer. According to this authenticity indicator, its authenticity can be checked accurately by making use of its first authenticity recognition function attributed to the diffracting action of the transmission volume hologram layer and its second authenticity recognition function attributed to the polarized-light selectivity of the polarized-light selectively reflecting layer.
