20130208370 | CHANGEABLE LIQUID PRISM ARRAY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A changeable liquid prism array and a method of manufacturing the changeable liquid prism array are provided. The changeable liquid prism array includes a substrate, a wiring layer formed on the substrate, and including conducting wire portions and non-conducting wire portions where the conducting wire portions are not formed, and barrier walls disposed on the wiring layer. The changeable liquid prism array further includes cells defined by the barrier walls, a first liquid included in the cells, and a second liquid located on the first liquid. The changeable liquid prism array further includes side electrodes disposed on side surfaces of the barrier walls, and separated from each other by spaces corresponding to the non-conducting wire portions, and an upper electrode arranged above the barrier walls, and separated from the side electrodes. | 08-15-2013 |
20130335795 | SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR AND HOLOGRAPHIC 3D IMAGE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE SAME - Provided is a complex spatial light modulator and a holographic 3D image display including the complex spatial light modulator. The complex spatial light modulator includes a spatial light modulator for modulating a phase or an amplitude of light, a pair of lens arrays, and a grating disposed between the pair of lens arrays. Accordingly, the phase and the amplitude of light may be modulated simultaneously. | 12-19-2013 |
20140118645 | COMPLEX SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR AND 3D IMAGE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE SAME - Provided are a complex spatial light modulator and a three-dimensional image display device including the same. The complex spatial light modulator includes: a spatial light modulator for modulating a phase of light; a prism array disposed next to the spatial light modulator; and a polarization-independent diffractive element for diffracting light that has passed through the prism array. The complex spatial light modulator may modulate both phase and amplitude of light. | 05-01-2014 |
20140210960 | COMPLEX SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR AND 3D IMAGE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE SAME - A complex spatial light modulator and a three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus including the complex spatial light modulator are provided. The complex spatial light modulator includes: a spatial light modulator that modulates a phase of light; a prism array including a plurality of prism units, each of the plurality of prism units including a first prism surface and second prism surface, where light from the spatial light modulator is incident on the prism array; and a polarization-independent diffracting element that diffracts light that has passed through the prism array. | 07-31-2014 |
20140285862 | HOLOGRAPHIC 3D IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND ILLUMINATION UNIT FOR THE SAME - An illumination unit is provided including a coherent light source; a projection optical element which focuses a light beam emitted from the coherent light source onto a focal plane; and a holographic optical element interposed between the coherent light source and the projection optical element, and having an interference pattern formed thereon. The holographic optical element diffracts the light beam emitted from the coherent light source and emits the diffracted light to the projection optical element. Here, the interference pattern on the holographic optical element may have information that diffracts the light beam and thereby cancels a diffraction of the light beam due to an aberration of the projection optical element. | 09-25-2014 |
20140340724 | COMPLEX SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR AND 3D IMAGE DISPLAY INCLUDING THE SAME - A complex spatial light modulator for modulating a phase and amplitude of a light beam and a 3-dimensional (3D) display including the same are provided. The complex spatial light modulator includes a spatial light modulator modulating a phase of a light beam, a lenticular lens array disposed next to the spatial light modulator, and a volume holographic lens array spaced apart from the lenticular lens array and allowing light beams output from the lenticular lens array to be superimposed and to interfere with each other, and so that the phase and an amplitude of the light beam are simultaneously modulated. | 11-20-2014 |
20140375763 | OASLM-BASED HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY - Provided is an optically addressable spatial light modulator (OASLM)-based holographic display and a method of operating the same. The display includes an addressing unit including a light source unit emitting a plurality of recording beams, a driving mirror array including driving mirrors that each reflect a recording beam incident thereon, and a mirror member array including mirror members that each obliquely reflect a recording beam incident thereon, in which each of the driving mirrors corresponds to one of the mirror members. The recording beams, which are transmitted by the addressing unit, are focused onto the OASLM by micro lenses of a lenslet array. The OASLM is optically addressed by the recording beams focused by the micro lenses of the lenslet array and thus modulates and diffracts a reproduction beam, incident thereon from a reproduction beam providing unit, and thus a holographic image is reproduced. | 12-25-2014 |
