Abstract
A holographic media display device with an exterior, including multiple light-emitting displays that each configured to output images, at least one semi-transparent reflector, each reflector configured to receive images from at least one of the displays, to create a hologram display proximate the reflector, control electronics configured to store image media and transmit the image media to the light-emitting displays, and exterior user controls.
Claims15
A holographic media display device with an exterior, comprising:
- a first light-emitting display arranged in a first plane and configured to output images, and a second light-emitting display arranged in a second plane parallel to and vertically spaced from the first plane and configured to output images;
- a stacked double-pyramid semi-transparent reflector assembly disposed between the first and second planes, the reflector assembly having four inclined facets above and four inclined facets below a central plane;
- a housing defining four viewing sides;
- control electronics configured to store image media and drive the first and second light-emitting displays, wherein for each viewing side the control electronics are configured to partition each light-emitting display into a region associated with that viewing side and to render on one light-emitting display a first sub-image portion and on the other light-emitting display a complementary second sub-image portion, such that reflections from the corresponding facets of the reflector assembly spatially register to present a single composite image viewable external to the housing at the viewing side;
- and
- exterior user controls comprising a momentary button and an on-off switch distinct from the button.

A holographic media display device comprising:
- a first light emitting display arranged in a first plane and a second light emitting display arranged in a second plane parallel to and vertically spaced from the first plane;
- a single planar semi-transparent reflector disposed between the first and second planes at a fixed oblique angle;
- a housing defining a first viewing side and a second viewing side opposite the first;
- control electronics configured to store image media and drive the first and second light emitting displays;
- wherein the first light emitting display is associated with the first viewing side and is configured to present an image that, when reflected by the single planar reflector, appears as a full image viewable external to the housing at the first viewing side, and the second light emitting display is associated with the second viewing side and is configured to present an image that, when reflected by the single planar reflector, appears as a full image viewable external to the housing at the second viewing side;
- and
- exterior user controls comprising (i) a momentary button and (ii) an on-off switch distinct from the button.

A holographic media display device comprising:
- a first light-emitting display in a first plane and a second light-emitting display in a second plane parallel to and vertically spaced from the first plane;
- a semi-transparent reflector assembly disposed between the first and second planes;
- a housing defining a plurality of viewing sides;
- wherein the reflector assembly comprises at least one partially reflective component oriented to direct reflections toward the plurality of viewing sides of the housing;
- control electronics configured to store image media and drive the displays;
- wherein, for each viewing side, the control electronics associate image content for that viewing side with respective portions of at least one of the first and second displays such that, when reflected by the reflector assembly, the image content appears as a single image viewable external to the housing at that viewing side;
- and
- an exterior user interface comprising at least one user control.
