Abstract:
A display panel assembly comprises a transflective holographic screen, i.e., a transparent screen that reflects light from a projection system, comprising at least a volume hologram, a first protective element and a second protective element, each arranged in contact with the volume hologram such that the volume hologram is sandwiched between the first protective element and the second protective element. The display panel assembly further comprises a projection system focusing an image on the volume hologram comprising at least projection optics, mounting means arranged to fixedly mount the projection system relatively to the transflective holographic screen. The volume hologram comprises a plurality of diffractive patterns disposed in sequence across the volume hologram, each of the plurality of diffractive patterns being configured to diffuse the light rays from the projection system in a determined direction corresponding to the specific diffractive pattern and oriented towards a position of an intended eye of a user wearing the display panel assembly.
Abstract:
Method for displaying an image being projected from a portable head-worn display comprising steps of emitting a plurality of light beams of different wavelengths (206, 301), directing the plurality of light beams to a scanning mirror (205), modulating in intensity each one of the plurality of light beams in accordance with intensity information provided from the displayed image whereby the intensity is representative of a pixel value within the image, scanning the plurality of light beams in two distinct axes with the scanning mirror (205) to form the image and redirecting the plurality of light beams to the eye using a holographic reflector (204) whereby the redirecting is dependent on the wavelength of the light beam, to create for each light beam an exit-pupil (212, 304) at the eye (210) that is spatially separated from the exit-pupils of the other light beams.
Abstract:
A multimode waveguide illuminator and imager relies on a wave front shaping system that acts to compensate for modal scrambling and light dispersion by the multimode waveguide. A first step consists of calibrating the multimode wave¬ guide and a second step consists in projecting a specific pattern on the wave¬ guide proximal end in order to produce the desire light pattern at its distal end. The illumination pattern can be scanned or changed dynamically only by chang¬ ing the phase pattern projected at the proximal end of the waveguide. The third and last step consists in collecting the optical information, generated by the sample, through the same waveguide in order to form an image. Known free space microscopy technique can be adapted to endoscopy with multimode waveguide, such as, but not limited to, fluorescence imaging or Raman spectros¬ copy or imaging, 3D linear scattering imaging or two-photon imaging. Super- resolution, i.e., resolution below the diffraction limit, is achieved for example but not limited to, using the STimulated Emission Depletion microscopy (STED) technique or the Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) technique or a stochastic illumination based method (PALM, STORM) in combination with the multimode waveguide imaging method.
