Detailed Description
The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the reflective layer 1 may be a reflective holographic grating, and its exposure method is shown in fig. 6. The exposure method has the advantages that the incident light with any beam expansion angle can be regulated and controlled with high precision, and the reflected light is strictly parallel light. In addition, the reflective layer 1 may also adopt a concave microlens array or a concave microlens array with a free-form surface, and such an irregular and free-form surface can maintain similar magnification when light beams with different angles pass through the main axis, thereby minimizing aberration. The design of the free-form surface can obviously enhance the uniformity of illumination and can achieve the effects of high image quality and small size. The free-form surface optical system has larger design freedom, can adopt a method of combining refraction and reflection to realize off-axis design of avoiding central blocking, is favorable for obtaining high resolution and high light energy utilization rate, and realizes the compactness of the system structure through light path folding.
As shown in fig. 1, the light beam emitted from the light source a21 reaches the concave microlens a11 and the concave microlens B12 of the reflective layer 1, and since the light source 21 is located at the boundary between the concave microlens a11 and the concave microlens B12, the incident angle of the light beam reaching the two microlens surfaces will also be different, and the light beam reflected by the microlens a11 is in a collimated light beam state and reaches the sub-area a31 of the filter layer 3. The light reflected by the microlens B12 reaches the sub-region D34. Similarly, the light from the light source 22 is reflected by the concave microlens C13 and the concave microlens 14, and reaches the sub-map region C33 and the sub-map region F36. The concave micro-lenses are reflected to form collimated light beams, and the reflected collimated light beams reach the grating layer 4 through the transparent spacing areas in the light source layer 2 and the filter layer 3. The reflecting layer 1 takes every two concave micro-lenses as a periodic structure, the transparent interval between the light sources of the light source layer 2 is the horizontal section width of the reflected collimated light beam, and the filter layer 3 is a red, green and blue filter layer of the liquid crystal display and is a periodic structure; .
The grating layer 4 may be a liquid crystal material-based polarization type holographic grating, and the dynamic adjustment of the optical modulation angle and the modulation density may be realized by adjusting the voltage. The grating layer 4 may also be an optical modulation element array, a holographic grating is used as a minimum unit, the minimum interval is the size of a sub-pixel, and the modulation direction of each optical modulation element may be static modulation or dynamic modulation. The array of optical modulating elements can capture collimated light beams that are ingested from different locations, and a visible image is obtained by exposure. The exposure time is long, the exposure area is large, and a sufficient amount of collimated light beams can pass through, so that a clear image can be obtained.
As shown in the diffraction diagram of the grating shown in FIG. 2, the grating can be briefly summarized as an optical element composed of a large number of parallel slits with equal width and equal spacing, d is the sum of the width a of a reflecting (or transmitting) part and the width of a non-reflecting (or non-transmitting) part, called as a grating constant, theta is a diffraction angle, incident light 5 passes through the grating 4, transmitted light 6 penetrates out of the grating to form a series of thin and long bright stripes, meanwhile, the bright stripes and the dark stripes appear alternately to form a diffraction line, the position of the main level bright stripes is independent of the number N of the slits of the grating and is uniformly distributed on two sides of the central bright stripes, the relative light intensity of the central bright stripes is strongest, and the light intensity conforms to the formula
Figure BDA0003215945110000031
Wherein, I0Is the intensity of the incident light; i is the relative intensity of the bright fringes in the diffraction line,
Figure BDA0003215945110000032
the brightness of the central bright stripe is high, so that the imaging is not facilitated, and the brightness of the positive and negative first-level stripes on the two sides of the central bright stripe is suitable and easy to regulate and control. From the above knowledge, the diffraction angles of the respective diffraction levels when the light beam passes through the grating can be accurately controlled.
As shown in fig. 3, the pixels in each sub-region are a, b, c, d, e and f, and the grating parameters of the grating layer 4 in front of each pixel are strictly designed to ensure that the propagation direction of the light beam passing through the grating layer 4 is strictly defined. If one wants to reconstruct a convergence point in space, it can be set that the light beams from a pixels in all sub-regions are modulated thereto by the grating layer 4. Since each group of light sources will be reflected to two different sub-map regions, the convergence situation in the other sub-map region is similar to that in fig. 3, and as shown in fig. 4, the light beams at the convergence point come from the corresponding sub-map regions respectively.
As shown in fig. 5, assuming that the distance between the sub-map area and the system boundary is m, the viewing distance of the human eye is the vertical distance w from the viewpoint 101 to the grating layer 4, the distance from the viewpoint to the system boundary is L, and the collimated light beam passes through the grating layer 4 and converges to the viewpoint 101, the included angle β formed by the collimated light beam and the viewing distance is m
Figure BDA0003215945110000041
The deflection angle of each grating element can thus be obtained.
