A video holographic display device operates so that the size of a reconstructed three dimensional scene is a function of the size of the hologram-bearing medium; the reconstructed three dimensional scene can then be anywhere within a volume defined by the hologram-bearing medium and a virtual observer window through which the reconstructed three dimensional scene must be viewed. This contrasts with conventional holograms, in which the size of the reconstructed scene is localised to a far smaller volume and is not a function of the size of the hologram-bearing medium at all.

A video holographic display device includes a light source used to illuminate a hologram-bearing medium encoded with a hologram. The device operates so that only when an observer's eyes are positioned approximately at the image plane of the light source can the holographic reconstruction be seen properly. This contrasts with conventional holographic displays, in which the observer's eyes do not have to be at the image plane in order for a holographic reconstruction to be seen.

The head has a body that has a pivot junction pivotally mounted in the elongated slot and having an exterior toothed surface. The head locking assembly includes a sliding block, a rotatable locking assembly and a block biasing assembly. The sliding block is slidably mounted in the elongated slot between the pivot junction and the bottom of the elongated slot and includes an engaging device to engage the exterior toothed surface of the pivot junction. The rotatable locking assembly is rotatably mounted in the sliding block and includes a locking device such as an eccentric cam to abut the bottom of the elongated slot to restrict the sliding block in motion and lock the head at a given angular position.

A display device for computer generated holography can time sequentially re-encode a hologram on the hologram-bearing medium for the left and then the right eye of an observer. Conventional holograms do not have to time multiplex for the left and then the right eye because, at any one time, the view seen by the left eye differs from the right eye anyway.

A geometrical method for working out how to encode a hologram onto a hologram bearing medium is disclosed. The method involves (a) selecting a point on the three dimensional scene to be reconstructed; then (b) defining a virtual observer window through which the reconstructed three dimensional scene will be seen; then (c) tracing a pyramid from the edges of the observer window through the point and onto a region that forms only a portion of a hologram bearing medium; and finally (d) generating, solely in that region of the hologram-bearing medium, holographic information needed to generate a holographic reconstruction of the point.

A method of computing a hologram by determining the wavefronts at the approximate observer eye position that would be generated by a real version of an object to be reconstructed. In normal computer generated holograms, one determines the wavefronts needed to reconstruct an object; this is not done directly in the present invention. Instead, one determines the wavefronts at an observer window that would be generated by a real object located at the same position of the reconstructed object. One can then back-transform these wavefronts to the hologram to determine how the hologram needs to be encoded to generate these wavefronts. A suitably encoded hologram can then generate a reconstruction of the three-dimensional scene that can be observed by placing one's eyes at the plane of the observer window and looking through the observer window.

The present invention provides a display apparatus for use in a vehicle that prevents reduction in driver visibility and adds no constrains to vehicle interior design. The display apparatus includes an indicator unit and a reflection receiving surface. The indicator unit includes a housing, an indicator accommodated in the housing, and a face glass sheet attached to the housing in such a manner that the indicator is visible. The reflection receiving surface receives light traveling from an eye range and reflecting off the face glass sheet. the face glass sheet is formed into a cross-sectional concavity depressed toward the indicator. The concavity provides a curved surface that reflects the light from the eye range to the reflection receiving surface. The reflection receiving surface is a back surface of a vehicle structure placed at a position at which there is space between the reflection receiving surface and the face glass sheet.

In a video hologram that enables a three dimensional scene to be reconstructed, a specific region in the hologram encodes information for a particular, single point in the reconstructed scene. This region is the only region in the hologram encoded with information for that point, and is restricted in size to form a portion of the entire hologram, the size being such that multiple reconstructions of that point caused by higher diffraction orders are not visible at the defined viewing position. This contrasts with conventional holograms, in which the information needed to reconstruct a given point is distributed across the entire hologram.
