Minimized-thickness angular scanner of electromagnetic radiation

摘要

A minimized-thickness angular scanner of electromagnetic radiation includes an optical sandwich having a two-dimensional (2D) image source, and a scanning assembly that includes a first optic and a second optic, wherein at least one of the first optic and the second optic are oscillatorily translating. Translation of the optics provides for generation of a three-dimensional (3D) image, while the optical sandwich design provides for compact implementation of 3D displays.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a projector configured to project three or more images associated with different perspectives of a scene; and a controller configured to control linear translation of an optic relative to another optic in first and second coplanar directions, and in synchronization with the three or more images associated with the different perspectives of the scene and projected by the projector onto the optic associated with the linear translation, to facilitate generation of a three-dimensional image, wherein the other optic is implemented between the projector and the optic associated with the linear translation.
