COMBINATION SPECULAR AND DIFFUSE IMAGE CHMSL

摘要

A hologram structure for use in a holographic center high mounted stoplight system for a vehicle. The hologram structure includes an illumination source (30) for providing a reconstruction beam, a first array (31) of non-overlapping hologram cells and non-hologram cells, and a second array (32) of non-overlapping hologram and non-hologram cells. Each hologram cell of the first array produces a specular image that is viewable in a first predetermined angular field pursuant to diffraction of a portion of the reconstruction beam, and each hologram cell of the second array produces a diffuse image that is viewable in a second predetermined angular field pursuant to diffraction of a portion of the reconstruction beam. The specular images and diffuse images produced by the first and second holograms form stoplight illumination.
