Wave optic modeling of semi-transparent textured curved surfaces
Abstract:
Lightwave propagation through a multilayer structure of patterned semi-transparent curved surfaces is a fundamental issue for various display applications from practical industrial problems such as moiré pattern strain in touch panel displays to fundamental research issues in layered tensor displays and layered complex modulation holographic displays. In this paper, a wave optic modeling of multiple layers of patterned semi-transparent curved surfaces is presented. The proposed wave optic modeling is based on the algorithmic framework used in the field of polygon computer-generated holograms, a framework which can additionally devise the characteristic transmittance function of textured curved surfaces. To present an industrial application, the proposed modeling method is used to numerically simulate the visual perception of the moiré patterns observed in the layered structures of transparent phase-only patterned curved surfaces and their diverse variations with a change in observation angle.
