1. energy-conservation: different with the unwanted light of LCD shielding, holographic modulation and the direct light of showing, the luminous energy of all incidents all will be used effectively in theory.The efficiency of light energy utilization of liquid crystal display is between 10-20% according to statistics, and the holography of adopting binary phase modulation technique (binary-phase modulation) shows the efficiency of light energy utilization more than 40%, and polynary phase modulation technique (multi-phase modulation) can be brought up to the efficiency of light energy utilization more than 90%.In addition, compare the employed white light bulb of traditional shadow casting technique, employed LASER Light Source of line holographic projections or photodiode light source have very high energy conversion efficiency.
2. volume is little, and is simple in structure: than conventional projector, the aberration of display image can be corrected by computed hologram itself, has saved the bulky complex that is provided with and the expensive lens combination that differ for rectification thus.In addition, for coloured image, the line holographic projections instrument uses three kinds of monochromatic sources of red green basket, and it is easy that its chromatic aberration correction also comprises the common projection of white light of all spectrum more than use.
3. stability is high: traditional display technique display image and projection chip or indicator screen and show image are point-to-point corresponding relation, if on chip or the screen a bad point is arranged, then show image just produces a bad point.And line holographic projections spatial light modulator (Spatial Light Modulator, what SLM) go up to show is hologram through specific calculations, its ultimate principle has guaranteed will produce bad point never on the screen.Certain spectrum information on the corresponding screen picture of picture element of hologram image but not particular pixels point, the hypothesis space photomodulator is distinguished as 1000x1000, amount to 1,000,000 picture elements, then 1 bad point is changed to 1/1000000th and do not have a corresponding bad point to what display image caused on it, naked eyes can't be discovered at all, even hundreds of bad points are arranged on the spatial light modulator, its influence to display image only is several per milles also, and naked eyes are difficult for discovering.
In patent CN1217539C, reported a kind of tapered transmission line display of using conventional projector, its advantage is to save the required light path of conventional projection, its thickness is than next thin of traditional rear projection display, and can compare favourably with flat-panel monitors such as liquid crystal plasmas.Because waveguide can be compared and liquid crystal by cheap optical glass or transparent plastic sheet manufacturing, classic flat-plate display techniques such as plasma, when making the large scale screen, its cost will be very cheap.Because waveguide itself does not contain any electronic devices and components, compare liquid crystal in addition, plasma, displays such as photodiode, Waveguide display are more firm, and be durable in use.But existing this Waveguide display uses conventional projection, and for correction differs aberration, the structure of waveguide is comparatively complicated and be difficult for making.Volume that conventional in addition projector is huge and complicated lens system have also limited its application on waveguide shows.

(5) each wave band is done Fourier transform or Fourier transform respectively, and only get the amplitude and the PHASE DISTRIBUTION of its corresponding region;
(6) each regional amplitude and PHASE DISTRIBUTION stack are obtained total amplitude and PHASE DISTRIBUTION.
The order of above-mentioned steps can according to circumstances be adjusted.
Quantizing process will produce error, be to improve picture quality, can utilize the high refresh rate of the persistence of vision effect of human eye and Cyberspace photomodulator to realize that the quick demonstration of image reduces owing to hologram quantizes the error that causes on the Cyberspace photomodulator.For example, the liquid crystal over silicon System on Chip/SoC (LCOS) that refresh rate is 1024 hertz of per seconds, per second can show 1024 two field pictures, by one second 24 two field picture note of ordinary video, then every two field picture can be made up of 42 frame subimages, exist nuance with remedying error to each other between subimage, because the persistence of vision effect of human eye, the image that observes at last will have very high quality.(introduced a kind of aberration correction method of two-dimension holographic projection in free space among the patented claim CN101310225A.Among the present invention employed difference correction based on the waveguide conversion but not simple Fourier transform is obviously different with its existence), waveguide hologram of the present invention bearing calibration such as Figure 11:
