Abstract From the Canadian patent

The position of a solid image which changes with the elapse of time is detected. The position of a virtual screen is set so that a distance from an object enters an allowable range such as to reduce a fatigue of an observer. A 2-dimensional image is formed at the set virtual screen position. A phase distribution is calculated at the hologram forming surface thereby, displaying a solid image. Even when the position of a solid image changes with the elapse of time the fatigue, of the eyes can be minimized.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 2, 1993 and granted August 19, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 2, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 2, 2015.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
