Background technology
Holography be a kind of by image transitions for its diffraction pattern at a certain specific range, and use one or more monochromatic sources to irradiate the technology of diffraction patterns.After the propagation through specific range, due to diffraction of light and interference effect, this diffraction pattern can be reduced into former target image.Compare and common projection and lcd technology, line holographic projections has the following advantages:
1. energy-conservation: different from the unwanted light of LCD shielding, holographic modulation also guides light, and 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 that adopts binary phase modulation technique (binary-phase modulation) shows that the efficiency of light energy utilization is 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 white light bulb that traditional shadow casting technique is used, the LASER Light Source that line holographic projections is used or photodiode light source have very high energy conversion efficiency.
2. volume is little, simple in structure: than conventional projector, show that the aberration of image can be corrected by computed hologram itself, saved thus the bulky complex arranged and the expensive lens combination that differ for rectification.In addition, for coloured image, the line holographic projections instrument uses three kinds of monochromatic sources of red green basket, and the common projection of the white light that its chromatic aberration correction also comprises all spectrum more than use is easy.
3. stability is high: traditional display technique demonstration image and projection chip or indicator screen and show image are point-to-point corresponding relation, if a bad point is arranged on chip or screen, just show image produces a bad point.And line holographic projections is in spatial light modulator (Spatial Light Modulator, SLM), upper what show is the hologram through specific calculations, and its ultimate principle has guaranteed will produce never bad point on 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, on it, 1 bad point is changed to 1/1000000th and without corresponding bad point to what show that image causes, naked eyes can't be discovered at all, even hundreds of bad points are arranged on spatial light modulator, it is also only several per milles on the impact that shows image, and naked eyes are difficult for discovering.
Reported a kind of tapered transmission line display of applying conventional projector in patent CN1217539C, its advantage is to save the required light path of conventional projection, thin more next than traditional rear projection display of its thickness, 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 manufacture, the 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, the displays such as photodiode, Waveguide display is more firm, durable in use.But existing this Waveguide display is used conventional projection, for correction differs aberration, the structure of waveguide is comparatively complicated and be difficult for manufacturing.Huge volume and the complicated lens combination of conventional projector also limited its application on waveguide shows in addition.

in] light be equivalent to and be projected on the waveguide surface of rotation after 2 (m+1) α.
Fig. 9 is a kind of method that generates the waveguide hologram image, is called the waveguide inverse transformation in the present invention.Its step is as follows:
1. the image T (x, y) of required demonstration is added to phase factor T (x, y) * e
j Φ (x, y), initial phase factor Φ (x, y) can be random phase;
2. the light according to different angles is divided into N zone (interregional partly overlapping, the incident light of different angles is because of the different same point outgoing on screen of incidence point), N wave band T on the corresponding angles frequency spectrum respectively in the principle of zones of different outgoing by full screen
n(x, y)=T (x, y) * e
j Φ (x, y)* P

3. the image of regional n is done to Fourier transform or inverse fourier transform, and only get the n wave band of result, obtain its angular spectrum, A

6. calculate and compensate the empty impact caused due to air waveguide interface and lens combination;
7. all angular spectrums are superposeed, then do inverse fourier transform or Fourier transform, the phase and magnitude that obtains space distributes.
In the method, the order of step can adjust, to adapt to different system.Finally selecting range or phase place quantizes the generating hologram picture according to used modulation of source module in the lump, for example, modulation of source module for the binary phase modulation, a kind of quantization method is to take to make all phase places to be greater than 0 point to get pi/2, be less than 0 get-pi/2 of point, thereby obtain a binary hologram.
Step 3,4,6 can be expressed as on mathematics
Wherein * is convolution algorithm, because
irrelevant with concrete image, so but calculated in advance storage, thus can use a convolutional calculation to replace Fourier transform twice, thus improve arithmetic speed.
Said method is reversible in addition, only need slightly revise, and just can obtain the waveguide conversion (Figure 10) of computed hologram at screen display:
(1) hologram image is done to inverse fourier transform or Fourier transform obtains its angular spectrum, and be divided into one or more wave bands, obtain each wave band angular spectrum;
(2) impact that cause at calculating offset lens and different interface;
(3) by the result rotation pi/2-2n α (if the anglec of rotation is little, this step also can be omitted) obtained in (2);
(4) propagate the A as a result of (3)
n(f
x, f
y), obtain angular spectrum
K=2 π/λ wherein, λ is the incident light wavelength;
(5) each wave band is done respectively to Fourier transform or inverse fourier transform, and only get amplitude and the PHASE DISTRIBUTION of its corresponding region;
(6) each regional amplitude and PHASE DISTRIBUTION stack are obtained to total amplitude and PHASE DISTRIBUTION.
The order of above-mentioned steps can according to circumstances be adjusted.
Quantizing process will produce error, for improving picture quality, can utilize the persistence of vision effect of human eye and the high refresh rate of modulation of source module to realize that the quick demonstration of image reduces to quantize on the modulation of source module due to hologram the error caused.For example, a 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, every two field picture can be comprised of 42 frame subimages, between subimage, exist nuance with making up error to each other, due to the persistence of vision effect of human eye, the image finally observed will have very high quality.(introduced a kind of aberration correcting method of two-dimension holographic projection in free space in patented claim CN101310225A.The difference correction used in the present invention based on waveguide conversion but not simple Fourier transform is obviously different from its existence), waveguide hologram of the present invention bearing calibration is as Figure 11:
1. input a frame new images, determine that it is comprised of how many frame subimages, counts M
2. input picture is added to phase factor, the desirable phase place immediately of the initial phase factor.Determine and calculate the times N that each sub-frame images needs iteration.
3. carry out the waveguide inverse transformation, obtain required hologram image
4. judge whether to reach iterations, if operating procedure 5 moves the waveguide conversion if not, obtain quantizing the corresponding phase and magnitude distribution that shows image of hologram image institute, get PHASE DISTRIBUTION, be added to input picture in 2, and rebound step 3
5. will quantize hologram image is presented on the modulation of source module as a subframe
6. judged whether the demonstration of all subframes of this image, if input the next frame image, rebound step 1.Move if not the waveguide conversion, the amplitude of the amplitude of gained image and original input image is compared, according to errors, by specific process, the intensity of original input image is carried out to trickle modification, then rebound step 2.
Step 2 is adoptable lid Shi Beige-Sa Ke stone (Gerchberg-Saxton) or Liu-Tai (Liu-Taghizadeh) method during to the common hologram of 5 similar calculating, utilize phase freedom, optimize phase place by iteration, thereby obtain the hologram image that quality is higher.Step 7 realizes that the Error Feedback that will quantize to produce is to input picture, and revises the shown image of next subframe by specific process, to making up the error of current sub-frame images.
