As shown in fig. 3, after the polarizationmultiplex volume hologram 300 is manufactured, by changing the polarization state of incident light, it is possible to realize that different focal lengths are displayed in the polarizationmultiplex volume hologram 300. When the polarization angle of the incident light is 0 °, the volume hologram element displays afirst focus 301; when the polarization angle of the incident light is 90 °, the volume hologram element displays asecond focus 302; when the polarization angle of incident light is between 0 ° and 90 °, the volume hologram element simultaneously displays thefirst focus 301 and thesecond focus 302.
Fig. 4 is a model schematic diagram of a geometric imaging model shown in the present application. As shown in FIG. 4The geometric imaging model mainly comprises 3 quantities, namely a projection distance L and an object distance L`And a focal length f. An image emitted from the image generating unit (PGU)400 through thediffuser 401 and the deflecting means 402 passes through the polarization multiplexingvolume hologram element 403 and then is formed into an enlarged virtual image to be observed by thehuman eye 404. By adjusting the polarization state of the incident light, the focal length f corresponding to the polarization multiplexingvolume hologram element 403 is different. According to the imaging formula (1), under the condition that the object distance L' is not changed, the focal length f is different, and the corresponding projection distance L is different, so that the projection distance of the display system can be adjusted by adjusting the polarization state of incident light.

As shown in fig. 8, when the dual view point polarization multiplexing holographic element is manufactured,reference light 100 with a polarization angle of 0 ° and object light 200 with a polarization angle of 0 ° generated by the same laser source are incident on the surface of the polarization sensitive optical lens at a certain included angle to generate a first interference reaction, so as to form a view point a of a driver; thereference light 101 with the polarization angle of 90 degrees and the object light 201 with the polarization angle of 90 degrees, which are generated by the same laser light source, are incident on the surface of the polarization sensitive optical lens at the same included angle, and a second interference reaction occurs at the position where the first interference reaction occurs, so that the viewpoint b of the co-driver is formed. The included angle of the light beams can be specifically adjusted according to the performance parameters of the designed polarization multiplexing holographic element.
Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a dual-viewpoint heads-up display system according to a fourth embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the dual view point head-up display system apparatus includes animage generation module 900, aturning device 901, anadjustable polarizer 902, a polarization multiplexingvolume hologram 903, and awindshield 904. Theimage generation module 900 projects image light carrying relevant information on the instrument panel to thesteering device 901. Theturning device 901 receives the image light generated by theimage generation module 900 and projects it to the polarization multiplexingvolume hologram element 903. The polarization multiplexingvolume hologram 903 is attached to the surface of thewindshield 904. On the one hand, the polarization multiplexingvolume hologram element 903 forms a virtual image outside thewindshield 904 by the incident light; on the other hand, the polarization multiplexingvolume hologram element 903 diffracts the incident light to the vicinity of the human eye to form a viewpoint.
Specifically, when the rotation angle of theadjustable polarizer 902 is 45 °, an image can be simultaneously displayed at two projection distances. The far virtual image can be viewed simultaneously from the viewpoint a at the driver and the viewpoint b at the co-driver. In the present embodiment, 45 ° is merely exemplary, and this angle may be any angle between 0 ° and 90 °.
The above embodiments can all be applied to color display by using the superposition of three-layer volume hologram elements.
