Abstract: A holographic reconstruction system is disclosed for the three-dimensional reconstruction of object light spots of a scene, comprising spatial light modulation elements which modulate interference-capable light waves of illumination means with at least one video hologram, and optical focussing elements which focus the modulated light waves with the reconstructed object light spots for at least one eye position of the observer's eyes. An electro-optical deflection element controlled by a system controller focuses the modulated light wave with the reconstructed object light spots on at least one eye position and tracks them when the eye position changes. The electro-optical deflection element is a controllable optical diffraction grating with a variable surface relief structure consisting of separately controllable microcells.

Abstract: A light modulating device comprises a spatial light modulator and a homogenizing element. A group of at least two adjacent pixels of the spatial light modulator form a macropixel: The spatial light modulator is of a type such that its pixels comprise a variable content. Each macropixel is used to represent a numerical value which is manifested physically by the states of the pixels of the spatial light modulator which form the macropixel. For each macropixel a homogenizing element is present in the optical path after the macropixel. The homogenizing element comprises an optical input and an optical output. The homogenizing element is adapted such that output light of the macropixel is entering the optical input of the homogenizing element and is mixed within the homogenizing element and is output at the optical output of the homogenizing element.

Abstract: A modulation device based on electrowetting cells (EW cells), phase or amplitude or both simultaneously as a complex value of incident light is modulated in each EW cell. An EW cell includes at least one chamber with at least two fluids which are separated by an interface, external and internal electrodes which form electrode pairs activatable by control means, where at least one electrode pair controls the level of the interfaces in the chamber. The internal, mutually functionally independent electrodes inside the chamber are disposed parallel to each other such that the chamber is divided into two communicating sections with two controllable interfaces, where at least one section is transparent and forms the optical path. When at least one electrode pair is activated, the interfaces are mutually displaced such that the path length of the pencils of rays is changed compared with an initial value.

Abstract: A three-dimensional light modulator, of which the pixels are combined to form modulation elements. Each modulation element can be coded with a preset discrete value such that three-dimensionally arranged object points can be holographically reconstructed. The light modulator is characterized in that assigned to the pixels of the modulator are beam splitters or beam combiners which, for each modulation element, combine the light wave parts modulated by the pixels by means of refraction or diffraction on the output side to form a common light beam which exits the modulation element in a set propagation direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light modulation device for a display for representing two- and/or three-dimensional image content or image sequences. The light modulation device comprises a light modulator and a controller. The phase and/or the amplitude of a light wave field, which is substantially collimated, can be varied by means of the light modulator depending on the location of the light modulator. The light modulator can be actuated by means of the control device. According to the invention, in the direction of propagation of the light wave field, at least one diffracting unit is arranged downstream of the light modulator. The diffracting unit has a variable diffracting structure. By means of the diffracting structure, the light wave field varied by the light modulator can be diffracted in a variable and predeterminable manner. Further, the present invention relates to a display and a method for producing a light modulation device.
