Implementation of VHOE-based multiview stereoscopic 3D display system

In this paper, a photopolymer-based VHOE is optimally manufactured and using this VHOE, an experimental model of the VHOE-based 8-view stereoscopic display system is implemented. That is, the VHOE is optically made by angle-multiplexed recording of 8-view's diffraction gratings in the Dupont's photopolymer(HRF-150-100) using an optimized exposure-time scheduling scheme and then, the VHOE-based 8-view stereoscopic display system is implemented, in which the incident angles of the diffracted reference beams of the VHOE are sequentially synchronized with the respective 8-view stereo images displayed on the LCD panel. From some experimental results using 8-view test images, it is found that 8-view stereo images can be diffracted to the eight different directions corresponding to the incident angles of the reference beams and there is some disparity between the stereo images. From these experimental results, a possibility of implementing the VHOE-based multi-view stereoscopic 3D display system is also suggested.
