Description
The present invention relates to a head-mounted display device using a photopolymer and an image display method.
The Head Mounted Display (HMD) was first used in the helmets of 1970s fighter pilots. For example, a small display device may be placed in a helmet, and a light reflected from the display may be reflected by using a prism or an autocorreated curved mirror so that a virtual image can be seen through an observer's eye.
The head-mounted display has many benefits because it allows you to see the image displayed on the display while viewing the surrounding field of view. However, such a head mount display is heavy on the head and has a disadvantage of being bulky. In recent years, head-mounted display products have been introduced that can be used like glasses by reducing weight and volume. However, since these products also use elaborately designed optical systems for displaying images, they are still bulky and expensive .
On the other hand, a photopolymer is a transparent film type recording medium having a characteristic in which a refractive index changes by reacting with light upon receiving light. A holographic optical element (HOE) having various characteristics can be manufactured by using the properties of the photopolymer.
With respect to a method of manufacturing a head mount display using such a holographic optical element, Korean Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2014-0136145 discloses a full color holographic optical element using a photopolymer, a method of manufacturing the same, . Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2010-204397 discloses an image display apparatus and a head mount display.
However, currently developed and sold head mount displays have a disadvantage in that images that can be transmitted to each eye of the user are limited to two dimensions. In addition, even if a two-dimensional parallax image is transmitted in both eyes, the accommodation-vergence mismatch between the depth determined by the parallax between the images and the depth of the actual user's eye, It can cause eye fatigue and deteriorate concentration.
In order to solve the above-described problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a holographic optical element in which at least two lens arranging states are recorded in one photopolymer in order to display a three- And an image display method using the head-mounted display device.

According to the head-mounted display device having improved depth by using the photopolymer according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a holographic optical element using a photopolymer recording at least two lens arrays, A head-mounted display having a simplified structure can be manufactured by using an optical element. As a result, a 3D image can be observed which is not experienced in a conventional head mount display, and a 3D image is transmitted to each of the left and right eyes of an observer, so that the depth perceived by the observer and the distance It is possible to display a natural three-dimensional image without accommodation-vergence mismatch free.
