Each trapezoidal holographic plate 400 may include a holographic film including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and transparent reinforcing plates respectively disposed on the first surface and the second surface of the holographic film, wherein the transparent reinforcing plate may be plastic or other transparent material plate.
The following describes an exemplary embodiment of the holographic display device provided by the present disclosure.
In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as shown in
In the process of forming the first state (i.e., the unfolding process), the upper side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are pivoted in the first rotation direction about their connections with the first substrate 100, and the lower side edges slide on the second substrate to a first position in a direction closer to the middle portion of the second substrate 200 so that the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 enclose a four-sided prismoid structure.
In the process of forming the second state (i.e., the folding process), the upper side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 pivot in the second rotation direction about their connections with the first substrate 100. The lower side edges slide on the second substrate to a second position in a direction towards the vicinity of the periphery of the second substrate 200 so that the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are unfolded to be in the same plane and stacked on the second substrate 200.
In the above solution, the upper side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are pivotally connected to the first substrate 100 while the lower side edges are slidably connected to the second substrate 200. When it is necessary to unfold the holographic display device, the first substrate 100 is pulled upward to make the upper side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 pivot in the first rotation direction about their connections with the first substrate 100. The lower side edges slide in a direction towards the middle portion of the second substrate 200 so that the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are supported in a form of a four-sided prismoid structure between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200.
When it is necessary to fold, the first substrate 100 is pressed downwards, the upper side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 can pivot in a second direction opposite to the first direction about their connections with the first substrate 100. The lower side edges slide in a direction towards the vicinity of the periphery of the second substrate 200 so that the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are unfolded to be in the same plane and stacked between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200.
According to the above solution, the connecting structure between the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 and the first substrate 100 as well as the second substrate 200 is simple, and the unfolding and folding operations are convenient.
It should be understood that, in practical applications, the connecting structure between the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 and the first substrate 100 as well as the second substrate 200 may also adopt other ways, which are not limited thereto.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, exemplarily, as shown in
If the middle portion of the first substrate 100 is the display screen 300, the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 cannot be directly fixed on the display screen 300. Instead, the fixing member is fixed at a predetermined region in the middle of the first substrate 100 (the predetermined region can be an area at the center position of the first substrate 100, or an area at the other position in the middle of the first substrate 100), then the display screen 300 is disposed around the fixing member. Then the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are fixed on the first substrate 100 through the fixing member so as to enable the image of the display screen 300 to be projected onto the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 to achieve holographic display. In this way, the problem of the fixed connection of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 can also be solved.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, the connection between the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 and the first substrate 100 is not limited thereto, and other methods may also be adopted according to actual needs, which are not listed here.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as an example, as shown in
According to the above solution, the display screen 300 may include four display sub-screens embedded in the first substrate 100. In the first state, the images on the four display sub-screens may be projected onto the corresponding trapezoidal holographic plates 400, in order to achieve holographic display.
It should be noted that in practical applications, the display screen 300 may further be a monolithic annular display screen 300 embedded in the first substrate 100 and disposed around the periphery of the predetermined region. The orthographic projections of the display 300 and the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 on the second substrate 200 in the first state are at least partially overlapped, so that in the first state, the image of the display screen 300 can be projected onto the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400.
In addition, in the exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, a notch 110 is formed in a predetermined region of the middle of the first substrate 100, and a light source 120 is disposed in the notch 110.
In this case, the first substrate 100 may include an outer frame and an inner frame, wherein the area enclosed by the inner frame forms the notch 110, and a light source 120 (e.g., an LED Lamp) is disposed in the notch 110 which can increase the display brightness of the holographic display device.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as an example, as shown in
According to the above solution, the fixing member adopts a manner that the fixing ring 501 and the pivoting member 502 cooperate with each other, and the pivoting member 502 may adopt a hinge structure, which may include a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate movably connected, and the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate can be folded and unfolded around the connection of the two. The upper side edge of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 can be fixed on the first fixing plate of the pivoting member 502 by screws, and the second fixing plate is fixed on the fixing ring 501. The fixing ring 501 in turn is fixed on the inner frame of the first substrate 100. In this way, the movable linkage between the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 and the first substrate 100 can be realized, and this structure is simple, easy to operate.
It should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixing members may also adopt other structures, which are not listed here one by one.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as an example, as shown in
According to the above solution, the sliding member 601 and the sliding slot 602 are matched with each other to achieve the sliding connection between the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 and the second substrate 200, and the structure is simple. It should be understood that in practical applications, the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 may also be slidably disposed on the second substrate 200 by other structures, which is not limited thereto.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as an example, as shown in
In the above exemplary solution, at least one sliding member 601 is respectively disposed at two bottom corners of a lower side edge of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400, so as to ensure smooth and stable sliding process of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400.
It should be noted that, the sliding member 601 may be a pulley structure, a ball or the like, which is not limited thereto.
It should also be noted that, in practical applications, the positions and the specific numbers of the sliding members 601 and the sliding slots 602 are not limited, and may be adjusted according to actual needs.
In addition, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as an example, as shown in
According to the above solution, the limiting mechanisms 700 disposed on the second substrate 200 limit the positions of the sliding members 601 so that in the first state, the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 slide to the second position, enclosing a four-sided prismoid structure, and fixed in the second position.
Exemplarily, the limiting mechanism 700 includes at least: a mounting slot disposed on an inner wall of the sliding slot 602; and an elastic limiting part installed in the mounting slot; wherein the elastic limiting member is capable of retracting into the mounting slot when subjected to external force, and protrudes out of the mounting slot when external force is removed.
According to the above solution, the limiting mechanism 700 adopts an elastic limit mechanism and pulls the first substrate 100 when it is necessary to display. The lower side edges of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 slide from the periphery of the second substrate 200 to the middle. When the sliding member 601 passes through the elastic limiting part, a force is applied to the elastic limiting part such that the elastic limiting part first retracts and then rebounds to define the lower side edge of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 at the second position, and after it is used, the first substrate 100 is slightly pressed, the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are applied force through the fixed ring 501, so that the sliding member 601 at the lower side edge of the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 apply force to the elastic limit part. The elastic limiting part retracts so that the sliding member 601 passes the elastic limiting part and slides from the middle of the second substrate 200 to the periphery to fold the holographic display device.
It can be seen from the above that the limiting mechanism 700 in the above solution adopts the elastic limiting mechanism without the need of operating the elastic limiting mechanism separately, and the utility model has the advantages of convenient operation and simple structure.
It should be understood that in practical applications, the specific structure of the limiting mechanism 700 may not be limited thereto. Other structures may also be adopted. For example, the limiting mechanism 700 may also be a buckle or the like.
It should also be noted that, in the above solution, the elastic limiting part may use elastic positioning beads or the like.
The working process of the holographic display device provided by the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to
When the holographic display device needs to display, the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 are gently pulled. The first substrate 100 drives the fixing ring 501 to move upwards. The sliding members 601 disposed at the bottom corners of the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 can move to the middle along the sliding slots 602. When the trapezoidal holographic plate 400 and the second substrate 200 are at an appropriate angle (e.g., 45 degrees), the sliding member 601 is fixed by the elastic limiting mechanism, and the then four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 are spliced into a four-sided prismoid structure, and each display screen 300 projects an image onto the corresponding trapezoidal holographic plate 400 to achieve holographic display. The display brightness of the holographic display device can be increased by adjusting brightness of the LED on the inner frame of the first substrate 100.
When the use is finished, the first substrate 100 is slightly pressed. The first substrate 100 applies force to the four trapezoidal holographic plates 400 through the fixing ring 501, so that the sliding member 601 returns to the edge of the second substrate 200 via the elastic limit mechanism (as shown in
The above descriptions are merely exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
