Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a holographic image generated by a computer. Holography is a technique that produces 3D images with full depth suggestion of existence. Computer-generated holograms (CGH) are an important method for forming images of non-existent (synthetic) objects. Suppose that the synthetic image can be explained by some form of data structure, and then the computer can calculate a hologram of a design plane. This point is equivalent to recording the interference pattern by photosensitive material when the conventional (interferometry) hologram is formed. The calculated CGH pattern is then applied to a spatial light modulator (SLM), which modulates the light incident on it to be read out. This modulated light is transmitted to obtain a predetermined 3D image, which can be viewed by a viewer. One consideration with holographic displays is the enlarged image size I and the associated field of view F0V. For a given CGH, an increase in I can be expected from the brightness theory, which usually results in a corresponding decrease in F0V. In order to obtain a good estimate of the I.F0V constant, it is important to increase the product of this technique, because the I and / or FOV constraints invariably determine the complexity of the CGH process, not the image resolution. CGH SLM displays have unique resolution limitations that require CGH diffracted light to be magnified by an optical device that scales to produce a desired size I and field of view FOV (FOV is a quantity that defines the viewer ’s eyes must be placed to see all (The location area of the image generated by the hologram). Using conventional methods, these optical devices consistently introduce distortion and light aberrations into the scaled image. For high-end applications, this image quality is unacceptable.

Description of the invention (2) The concept of barrier multiplier, for example, described in Maeno K, Fukaya N, Nishikawa 0, Sato K, Honda T, "Electric Holographic Display Using 15 Megapixel LCD", Proc SPIE, 2652 Issue, pp. 15-23 (1,996). The phase barrier multiplier involves multiplying the hologram by two-dimensional phase dispersion, which is independent of the image being restructured. Unfortunately, this technique relies on paraxial estimation, so large image corrections with meaningful F0V have limited success. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for generating computer-generated hologram (CGH) data for displaying a three-dimensional holographic image using a spatial light modulator of a holographic display. The method includes: The optical aberration of the component; and defining the CGH data to compensate for the effect of the measured optical aberration. CGH can be designed to complete or partially compensate for the effects of optical components. It can produce patterns applied to SLM, so the monitor forms perfect or near-perfect holographic images. The determination of optical aberrations caused by optical components can be made by a variety of techniques, but it is better to include the determination of the length of the light rays introduced by the optical components. Therefore, the light path length between the spatial light modulator and the 3D holographic image can be used to define the CGH data. CGH data can be defined as the light emitted by the spatial modulator, which can compensate for the optical aberrations introduced by the optical components. In order to minimize the computer memory requirements without introducing extra burden of computing time, it is better to use interpolation to determine the spatial light modulation. 516005 V. Description of the invention (3) between the device and the 3D holographic image The light path length. In addition or in addition, the results obtained by determining the optical aberrations introduced by the optical components of the display may be stored in a lookup table. This is particularly useful for applications where reconfiguration or motion images are required. The optical system can be designed to have special optical aberrations, so when compensating for optical aberrations in the definition of CGH data, it is also possible to achieve an increase in the field code η, δ'-Γ · of the three-dimensional full image: u ^ 'Mt ^ ixc ^ ife9? ul ::, 1: f.tv, ^ J--iM.1r' # iE. The optical assembly includes one or more curved mirrors. In this case, the compensation implementation of the optical aberration effect can determine the position and directionality of an image generated by the spatial light modulator based on the viewing angle of the viewer, thereby generating an I 3D hologram Located behind the convex mirror, the image appears steadily as the viewer moves. According to a second characteristic aspect of the present invention, there is provided a holographic display, comprising a computer configured to generate and / or store computer generated hologram (CGH) data; a spatial light modulator coupled to a computer The CGH data is received; the optical component is set on the optical path of the spatial light modulator to create a three-dimensional holographic image to be displayed; the CGH data is defined to compensate the optical aberration effect caused by the optical component. According to a third characteristic aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer storage medium on which a spatial light modulator intended for a holographic display is formed to form a light modulation 516005 V. Description of the invention (4) A computer for drawing generates a holographic image (CGH) data, which includes compensation for optical aberration effects occurring in the optical components of the display. It is important to understand that the use of the term "light aberration" is intended to mean distortion, rotation, translation, etc. that may cause the displayed image to deviate from the intended holographic image. Optical aberrations may result from using perfect or imperfect optical components. Brief description of the drawings In order to better understand the present invention and to show how to implement it, the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are: Figure 1 illustrates a coherent ray tracing method for generating a computer-generated hologram; Figure 2A An example illustrates the imperfect monochrome imaging of the three in-line points of the eccentric parabolic mirror system; Figure 2B illustrates further details of the imperfect imaging of the three points of Figure 2A. Figure 3 shows the corrected CGH, resulting in a 4-point straight Row diffraction limit points; Figure 4 illustrates the calculation of the light path from each point on the image to each CGH sampling point 9 Figure 5 shows three different views of an image; and Figure 6 shows an increase in viewing angle obtained with a curved mirror . Detailed description of the invention The basic work of hologram generation is to generate a pattern that will diffract light to produce the required 3D image. It is known that for this project, an object is first illuminated with coherence. Light from the object travels to a design plane. From this design 516005, read 11 疋 外, f ί f *: I edge is called it expose ° -t: V. Description of the invention (5) The knowledge of the plane light domain can produce an inverted light domain, which should form It will allow the 3D images required for spatial reproduction. Holography is a technique that makes this phenomenon possible because holography stores and allows the complex light domain patterns to be replayed on the design plane. Computer generated holograms (CGH) allow this process to be performed on synthetic (non-existent) objects. The first stage in determining the required CGH pattern is to calculate the electric field distribution generated by the composite object. The required pattern to be added to the space light modulator (SLM) is determined by this electric field distribution on the design surface. Figure 1 shows a technique used in the design plane to determine a typical CGH pattern added to the SLM. A data field is generated for the coordinates of the virtual object 2 with respect to the design plane 4 in space. The design plane is pixelated, and the light is “coherently” tracked from pixel to point by the pixel on the object. The complex electric field caused by each light is coherently summed at each pixel. Complicated radioactivity models can be combined to accurately determine light intensity (specular and diffuse reflections from object surfaces, multiple light sources, and reflections). The blocking effect is automatically included because only the light from the "visible" part of a particular pixel is "traced" and contributes to the pixel's electric field strength. This technique is called coherent light tracking (CRT). The complex electric field that has been calculated on the design plane must be stored in a certain module structure before being reproduced by light waves to produce the required 3D image. Holographic imaging technology is conceived as a reference wave, allowing complex electric field 0 distributions to be stored as real quantities. This allows the use of amplitude or phase modulation systems to produce the required 3D images. 516005 V. Description of the invention (6) In order to produce an image of a desired size, a zoom optical device is usually provided. Figure 2A shows the simple ray tracing of CGH6. CGH is designed in the usual way, using an eccentric axis parabolic mirror 12 to generate three straight points 8, which are equidistant from the viewer's 10 eyes. Ray tracing analysis (details shown in Figure 2B) show that blur points are usually restructured. Although the midpoint 14 is clear and in a predetermined position, the two points 16 and 18 on both sides are blurred and no longer on the required plane. A ray 20 will not all cross at the required point in space, or indeed be located at any Single location

These three points of images 16, 18 are apparently to the viewer in an incorrect position and blurred, and their apparent position will shift with the viewer's position. As long as CGH is properly designed, these effects can be corrected. The correction technique can be viewed as reverse ray tracing. For the system shown, the path of light 20 from each point 14, 16, 18 of the object to each sampling point on the CGH design plane 6 has been calculated. The optical path length information determines the corrected CGH pattern located on the design plane 6. Therefore, if the CGH is structured and replayed, the three-point image will be appropriately generated as the diffraction limit point at the correct (ie, designed) location. When the coherence summation of the complex light domain occurs as described above, the CGH pattern correction on the design plane 6 due to different optical path lengths is performed. In other words, when the CGH pattern is calculated and applied to the SLM, the performance of the light passing through the optical device after the light leaves the SLM is used. Figure 3 shows such a system in operation. The example shows that there are four in-line object points 22, 24, 26, and 28, all of which are correctly defined on the same plane, that is, not blurred or drifted. Although the foregoing is a simple example, this technology can in principle use a variety of endless 516005 events. 5. Description of the Invention (7) Beautiful optical elements can generate nearly arbitrary 3D images, which stipulate that the characteristics of optical elements are previously known. The ability to compensate for a variety of optical components is important. For example, the use of spherical optics (as opposed to the use of asphericity in the figure above) allows cost savings, which is particularly significant for large-aperture optics that are occasionally required because the system contains highly complex CGH. An important consideration is the computational requirements of the previous approach. For images with a significant volume passing through the component system, determining the required light path is not a trivial task. Even for the single-element system shown in Fig. 2, the general analysis of the optical path cannot be determined. The way-a typical solution using Fermat's principle is required. For applications that require reconfigurable or dynamic images, a table lookup (based on pre-calculated information for the optical system of interest) may be required instead of calculating the optical path length in real time. It is possible to simplify further by noting that the optical path length typically changes slowly through the object space and the CGH design plane. Therefore, it is possible to relatively accurately calculate the optical path length from a few evenly spaced "sampling" points, and then match a curve based on these numbers to allow interpolation of points other than the sample. Therefore, the simple interpolation function can be used to reduce the computer memory requirements without introducing excessive computing time overhead.

Description of the invention (8) CGH can be thought of as providing different images depending on the viewer's perspective. These images are typically appropriate perspective views of actual objects, but not necessarily so. An example of a cube image produced by a viewer watching CGH ’CGH Replay A unique limited range viewing angle, which means that the viewer usually only sees a small section around the sides of the cube. By designing the CGH 'to replay the display rotation when the viewing angle moves away from the axis, the viewer can further "see" the sides. Figure 5 validates this technique, showing how the viewer can further view the entire image of the cube by rotating the image when the viewing angle is changed. In FIG. 5A, the viewer 36 is on one side of the cube, and is close to the pen to visualize the cube 40 image, that is, viewed substantially along the axis 38. In FIG. 5B, the viewer 36 moves away from the axis 38 to increase the viewing angle, and the cube 40 has been rotated in the opposite direction, so that he can see more of the top surface. In FIG. 5C, the viewer 36 moves farther and the image of the cube 40 rotates, so he looks at the top surface almost directly. This, of course, means that the image no longer behaves like a real object (may be undesired), and it is necessary to identify optical aberrations or non-imaging optical devices to allow the image to be presented stably and at the same time allow a wide viewing angle. Preliminary considerations of using simple optical devices point out that this concept is not unreasonable. Through the enlightenment of the "mirror hall" effect (refer to Figure 6 for its explanation), it is conceivable that each point on the CGH image only "glows" to a fairly small angle pyramid (as a result, the point can only be seen from a very small range of angles). If the light hits the convex mirror, the light will diffuse when visible reflection, effectively increasing the viewing angle. Now when viewing objects with such curved mirrors, the image obviously rotates with the viewing angle of the viewer. This rotation can be effectively cancelled during CGH design. But also obviously -10- 516005

Description of the invention (9) The item moves with the viewing angle. This point can be compensated, but the image volume available during CGH replay is limited, which will limit the range of positions that can be used, and therefore the size of the image. When the viewer 42 views the system along the axis 48 of the convex mirror 44, the image 46 generated by the CGH (not shown) is located on the axis 48, so the reflection 50 (thus the image seen by the viewer) is located in the mirror 44 on the rear axis. When the viewer 52 moves away from the axis, and therefore looks from different angles, the phase information of the CGH can be arranged such that the image 46 generated by the CGH is moved and rotated to a new position 54. In other words, SLM-encoded data uses performance information about light leaving the SLM to provide different images when the viewer looks at different parts of the CGH. When the eccentric axis viewer 52 views the system, the reflection 50 of the image 54 will appear at the same position when the system views along the axis. However, the diffraction angle is still small relative to the image axis. Beamsplitters (not shown) are required to allow viewing of reflected images without being obscured by the CGH display system. Those skilled in the art must understand that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. For example, it has been described that CGH is calculated by coherent ray tracing technology (CRT). But the invention can also be used to calculate CGH by any other technique. Even if the final CGH is not designed by the CRT method, coherent ray tracing can still be used to determine the required optical aberration correction. Optical aberration compensation can also be achieved by examining the test images generated by CGH in a real system and iteratively changing the CGH until the required image is produced.
