 ABSTRACT

Technological advancement is accelerating rapidly. The latest display technology, touch

screens commonly found in our smartphones and tablet computers, may soon become a thing
of the past. One significant issue with screen displays is the lack of space. Emerging screenless
display technology aims to replace touch screens and address these space constraints, making
life more comfortable. The primary goal of screenless displays is to present or transmit
information without a screen or projector. With this technology, images can be projected
directly onto the human retina, into open space, or even into the human brain, eliminating the
need for heavy hardware and significantly enhancing privacy. This field gained momentum in
2013 with the introduction of products such as holographic videos, virtual reality headsets,
retinal displays, mobile devices for the elderly, and eye taps. Only a portion of screenless
display technology has been realized, indicating that further advancements are necessary. This
challenge is paving the way for the future of screenless displays. Screenless display technology,
including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), intelligent projection, and (pseudo)
holographic technology, can be utilized in the construction of smart stations for various
applications such as passenger identity verification, equipment inspection, staff training, onsite
navigation, and passenger service.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Screenless display technology is a rapidly evolving field within computer enhanced

technologies, poised to become one of the most significant technological advancements in the
coming years [3]. Historically, display technology has progressed from early cathode ray tube
(CRT) displays to modern liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diode
(OLED) screens. However, the growing demand for more compact, versatile, and privacy-
focused solutions is driving the transition to screenless alternatives. Numerous patents are
currently in development, aiming to revolutionize the concept of screenless displays. The
primary goal of screenless display technology is to display or transmit information without a
traditional screen or projector. This innovation is becoming a major focus for the next
generation of technological development. Screenless videos transmit visual information from
a video source without a screen [4]. Screenless computing systems can be categorized into
three main types: visual image, retinal direct, and synaptic interface.

1.1 Visual Image

The Visual Image screenless display category encompasses any visual content that can
be perceived by the human eye without a physical screen. The most prominent example of this
technology is holography, which creates three-dimensional images that appear to float in space,
visible to the naked eye without any additional hardware or screens [9].

1.1.1 Hologram

 Screenless Display

Holograms are a pivotal component of screenless display technology, representing a

significant advancement in how visual information can be transmitted and experienced without
the need for traditional screens. Holographic displays create three-dimensional images by
recording light fields, enabling viewers to see objects in their full depth and detail from various
angles [5]. This technology leverages the principles of interference and diffraction to project
images that appear lifelike and tangible, offering a more immersive and interactive experience
compared to conventional flat displays. In the context of screenless displays, holograms have
found applications across numerous fields, including entertainment, education, medicine, and
advertising [1]. Despite the impressive capabilities of holograms, challenges such as high
production costs, complexity in generating high-resolution images, and the need for specialized
viewing conditions remain. Nevertheless, ongoing advancements in this technology hold
promise for overcoming these obstacles, paving the way for more widespread adoption of
holographic displays in screenless technology [4].

1.1.2 Retinal Displays

Virtual retinal display systems constitute a distinct category of screenless displays that
project images directly onto the retina, bypassing intermediate objects. Unlike visual image
systems, which rely on reflected light, virtual retinal displays transmit light directly to the retina
[1]. Marketed as Retinal Direct systems, this technology promises unparalleled privacy in
public computing settings. Since most onlookers rely on viewing the same light as the
legitimate user, Retinal Direct systems ensure that only the intended viewer receives the
projected light, exclusively targeting their pupils. This innovative approach guarantees the
display of secure and private visual content, even in shared public spaces [3].

1.1.3 Synaptic Interface

Figure1.3.1: Synaptic Interface

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 2

 Screenless Display

Synaptic Interface screenless displays revolutionize visual communication by

circumventing light and the eye altogether. Instead, visual information is transmitted directly
to the brain, leveraging the synaptic interface to bypass traditional visual pathways [5].
Although human implementation is still in development, groundbreaking experiments have
successfully extracted usable video signals from the optic nerves of living horseshoe crabs and
even transmitted video signals from electronic cameras directly into their brains, paving the
way for a new frontier in neural interface technology [3].

One of the primary advantages of screenless display technology is space efficiency. By

removing the need for a physical screen, devices can become significantly smaller and lighter,
enhancing portability and convenience for users. Additionally, screenless displays offer
heightened privacy, as information can be projected in a way that only the intended user can
see, reducing the risk of unauthorized viewing. This technology also promises a more
immersive user experience, providing a seamless integration of digital information with the
real world. In consumer electronics, screenless displays could revolutionize the design and
functionality of smartphones, wearables, and other personal devices, offering new ways to
interact with digital content [2]. In professional and industrial applications, these displays can
be used for advanced training simulations, remote assistance, and complex visualizations in
fields such as medicine, engineering, and education [1].

Moreover, screenless displays hold great potential for public and commercial spaces.
For instance, in the construction of smart stations, screenless technology can be utilized for
passenger identity verification, equipment inspection, staff training, onsite navigation, and
passenger services. This application can streamline operations and enhance the overall
efficiency and experience in transportation hubs. Despite these promising benefits, the
development and adoption of screenless display technology face several challenges.
Technically, there are hurdles related to resolution, brightness, and power consumption that
need to be addressed [5]. Additionally, market adoption poses a challenge, as consumer
acceptance, cost considerations, and integration with existing technologies require careful
navigation.

Nonetheless, the future of screenless display technology appears bright, with ongoing
research and development paving the way for significant breakthroughs. Key players in the
tech industry are investing in this field, working to overcome current limitations and unlock

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 3

the full potential of screenless displays. As these advancements continue, screenless display
technology is poised to transform how we interact with digital information, making our lives
more connected, efficient, and immersive. By addressing the current challenges and leveraging
the potential of this innovative technology, we can look forward to a future where screenless
displays become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing everything from personal
devices to public infrastructure [7].

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY

Screenless displays, an emerging frontier in display technology, represent a significant

shift from traditional screen-based systems. The concept of screenless displays has evolved
significantly over the past few decades [7]. Previous attempts at similar systems involved
projecting a defocused image onto a small screen in front of the user's eye, typically using large
glasses. The user would focus on the background, where the screen appeared to float. However,
these systems had limitations: a small viewing area, heavy and bulky hardware, and a
requirement for precise focus depth. They were also only suitable for indoor use due to low
brightness [4].

Early research focused on virtual retinal displays (VRDs), where images are projected
directly onto the user's retina [7]. Kameyama et al. (1996) pioneered this approach,
demonstrating its potential for high-resolution and immersive visuals. Subsequent
advancements have led to improved image quality and reduced eye strain, making VRDs more
practical for everyday use. Recent advancements have made true Virtual Retinal Display
(VRD) systems feasible. High-brightness LEDs have enabled displays to be used in daylight,
and adaptive optics allow for real-time correction of eye irregularities (when necessary). This
results in a high-resolution, screenless display with exceptional color accuracy and brightness,
surpassing even the best television technologies.

Conventional displays produce a real image, which is either viewed directly or

projected through optics to create a virtual image. In contrast, VRD systems don't produce a
real image; instead, they form an image directly on the user's retina, eliminating the need for a
physical screen.

Holographic displays, another form of screenless technology, have seen substantial

progress. Dennis Gabor is considered the Father of Holography and Holographic Technologies.
Dennis was born in Hungary in 1900. Dennis wrote a paper in 1948 that has become the
foundation of modern Holography. The most interesting thing about all this is that laser light
had not even been invented yet when he wrote his paper. Thus, his brilliant innovation and
creative genius stand out as one of the great inventors of the 20th Century [9]. These systems
utilize laser beams and optical modulators to create lifelike images that appear to float in mid-

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 5

 Screenless Display

air. The use of holography has expanded into various fields, including medical imaging,
augmented reality (AR), and entertainment.

Reto Meier, a Google Android Developer Advocate, has painted a futuristic picture of
where computer interfaces are headed, specifically in the mobile realm. His predictions,
including Augmented Reality glasses and advanced batteries, have real-world parallels and are
grounded in current lab developments. Let's explore this future landscape, where technological
advancements are shaping the way we interact with devices.

Currently, working on a laptop is like working on a tiny desk, resulting in miniature

files and a limited workspace. To boost productivity and immersion, we're seeing a trend
towards larger screens, evident in the rise of external monitors, secondary reading devices, and
even smartphones with oversized screens [7].

Pico projectors, named for their tiny size, already exist, with the Forever Plus model
offering HD quality in a package smaller than an inch. Some smartphones, like the Samsung
Show, even come equipped with built-in pico projectors. While market demand may be a
limiting factor, there are no technical barriers to prevent this vision from becoming a reality
[4].

CHAPTER 3

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Screenless displays are a fascinating technology designed to convey visual information

without the use of traditional screens like monitors or projectors. There are several approaches
to achieving screenless displays, each utilizing different principles of physics and human
perception. In the next few years, Mudoc will be used on personal computers, ebook readers,
and current display devices. Soon, a new input/output system will enhance computer-user
interaction. This new interface, the telereader terminal, will revolutionize human-computer
communication [9]. The Visual Image software is a product designed for bitmap image
manipulation and composition. Bitmaps can now be manipulated independently in Image Mode
or combined in Object Mode to create a collage. This software allows the creation and
manipulation of images of any size, limited only by your system's memory resources.

This technology is used in various fields such as entertainment, education, medical

imaging, and advanced visualization systems where traditional screens may be impractical or
insufficient. As technology continues to advance, screenless displays are expected to play an
increasingly important role in creating immersive and interactive visual experiences. These
displays leverage principles from optics, acoustics, and neuroscience to create the perception
of images directly perceived by the viewer. Screenless displays hold great potential for public
and commercial spaces. For instance, in the construction of smart stations, screenless
technology can be utilized for passenger identity verification, equipment inspection, staff
training, onsite navigation, and passenger services. This application can streamline operations
and enhance the overall efficiency and experience in transportation hubs. Despite these
promising benefits, the development and adoption of screenless display technology face several
challenges. Technically, there are hurdles related to resolution, brightness, and power
consumption that need to be addressed. Additionally, market adoption poses a challenge, as
consumer acceptance, cost considerations, and integration with existing technologies require
careful navigation. Here are a few notable methods,

1. Hologram.
2. Virtual Retinal Display.
3. Synaptic Interface.

 Screenless Display

3.1 Hologram

Holographic displays create 3-dimensional images by diffracting light through

interference patterns. These displays can create images that appear to float in space without the
need for a physical screen. This technology holds promise for revolutionizing visual
communication and interaction in various fields, offering immersive experiences that go
beyond traditional screens [9]. Holographic displays reconstruct the wavefronts of light in real-
time. This is achieved by precisely controlling the phase and amplitude of light waves using
computational algorithms and fast-response devices. Hologram projection is a result of a
technological innovation that aids touchless interfaces [3]. The holography technique is used
to create and generate holograms, which are widely in the telecommunication industry. This is
a form of photography that provides a three-dimensional image, and some technologies are
now creating images using lenses, helium-neon, and holographic film. A 3D image will be
projected and appear in the air whenever the laser and object beam overlap with each other.
The Hologram provides high-quality images and videos and those images can be viewed by
the human eye, and that does not require any special observation device [6].

3.1.1 Working of Hologram

Holographs can work by using a laser beam that can interfere with an object beam. When
these two beams get in the way of one another, they can create what looks like a three-
dimensional image. This image can then be recorded for processing by recording the diffraction
of the light and how the beams interfere with one another.

Figure 3.1.1.1: Working of Hologram

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 8

 Screenless Display

Holography captures and reconstructs the interference pattern of light waves to create a 3-
dimensional image with 2 methods i.e., Recording and Reconstruction [9].

• Recording

Holography starts with capturing interference patterns of light waves. A laser beam is split
into two parts: the first part (the object beam) strikes the object and then bounces off to the
photographic plate, and the other part (the reference beam) travels directly to the recording
medium (such as a photographic plate or a spatial light modulator). A laser is used because all
the light waves travel in the same direction, have the same wavelength, and are coherent,
meaning they are in phase. When two coherent laser beams intersect, they create regular striped
interference patterns [9].

• Reconstruction

In the case of the hologram, the reference beam is coherent, while the object beam is not.
When these beams meet, they create a unique interference pattern that encodes specific 3D
information about the object onto the photographic plate. This image appears to float in space,
visible from different angles without needing a physical screen. This pattern encodes
information about both the amplitude and phase of the light waves reflected from the object
[9].

3.2 Virtual Retinal Display (VRD)

VRD technology projects images directly onto the retina of the viewer's eye. It works
by scanning modulated light onto the retina, either directly or via reflection from a
microdisplay. This creates the perception of a visual image without the need for a physical
screen, as the light is directly perceived by the eye.[1] A virtual retinal display (VRD), also
known as a retinal scan display (RSD) or retinal projector (RP), is a Screenless display
technology that draws a raster display (like a television) directly onto the retina of the eye,
instead of an image being reflected by any substance. This can create an effect of image
viewing from several feet away or at a wider and clearer view of any object that is using special
lasers or LEDs to scan light essentially into the optic nerve by mixing the primary colors. The
user sees what appears to be a conventional display floating in space in front of them. The same
concept applies to the computer monitor, which mainly focuses on the viewed image onto the

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 9

 Screenless Display

retina that needs to be converted into signals for the brain, but by the optic nerve however the
VRD is more efficient and effective [4]. The modulated light is scanned across the retina using
mirrors or other mechanisms, creating the perception of a visual image directly in the viewer’s
field of view. This bypasses the need for a physical screen by directly stimulating the retina to
create visual perceptions [7].

Figure 3.2.1: Virtual Retinal Display

In the above diagram, the process starts with a video source that provides the initial
visual content. This content is processed by the drive electronics, which control the system's
operations. Next, photon generation occurs, where light photons are produced, typically using
lasers or LEDs. Intensity modulation then adjusts the brightness and color of these photons to
match the video signal. Beam scanning follows, where the modulated light is directed through
a scanning system that precisely controls the movement of the light beams. Finally, the optical
projection system focuses these beams onto the retina, creating a coherent and stable image
that the user perceives as a floating display. This intricate process allows for high-resolution,
immersive visual experiences directly on the user's retina without the need for traditional
screens [1].

3.3 Synaptic Interface

The concept of a synaptic interface in the context of screenless displays typically refers
to a technology that aims to directly interface with the human brain's neural activity to create
visual perceptions without the need for traditional screens or physical projections. While this
concept is largely speculative and futuristic. Synaptic Interface screenless video does not use

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 10

 Screenless Display

light at all. Visual information completely bypasses the eye and is transmitted directly to the
brain [4]. While such systems have yet to be implemented in humans, success has been
achieved in sampling usable video signals from the biological eyes of a living horseshoe crab
through their optic nerves, and in sending video signals from electronic cameras into the
creatures' brains.

Further, the neural code is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. This display offers
the possibility of providing sight for blind people by using implanted electronics to bypass
nonfunctional parts of the eye. It can give users the benefit of viewing images in greater
coordination and complexity than the eyes capable of producing them. However, this method
requires more research and development for their further production of worldwide applications
can be implemented. Here’s a theoretical outline of how such a synaptic interface might work.

3.3.1 Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)

A synaptic interface would likely operate through a highly advanced form of BCI. BCIs
are systems that translate neural activity into commands or signals that can be used to control
external devices, such as computers or prosthetic limbs. For a screenless display, the BCI would
need to interpret neural signals related to visual perception and translate them into
corresponding images or visual stimuli [8].

3.4 Gesture Recognition

Virtual Retinal Displays (VRDs) use advanced eye-tracking technology to detect subtle
eye movements, such as blinking, pupil dilation, and eye rotation. These movements are then
interpreted by sophisticated algorithms to recognize specific gestures, allowing users to interact
with virtual objects naturally and intuitively. For example, a user can select an object by
focusing their gaze on it, zoom in by blinking twice, or navigate through a virtual environment
by moving their eyes in the desired direction [10].

Holographic Displays, on the other hand, employ hand-tracking sensors or cameras to

detect hand movements and recognize specific gestures. Computer vision and machine learning
algorithms are used to interpret hand movements and translate them into virtual actions. This
allows users to manipulate 3D holographic projections with hand gestures, such as swiping,
pinching, and rotating. The technology can also recognize more complex gestures, such as

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 11

 Screenless Display

drawing shapes or writing in mid-air, enabling users to create and interact with virtual objects
in a highly intuitive and immersive way [10].

Synaptic Interfaces take gesture recognition to the next level by utilizing brain-
computer interfaces (BCIs) to detect neural activity. By reading brain signals, the technology
can recognize gestures and thoughts, enabling users to control virtual objects with their minds.
Advanced algorithms interpret the brain signals, allowing users to select objects, navigate
through virtual environments, and even communicate with others through thought. This
technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with virtual objects and could
have significant applications in fields such as gaming, education, and healthcare [10].

CHAPTER 4

ALGORITHM

Fourier Transform Algorithm

The Fourier Transform is a fundamental algorithm in signal processing and many areas of
science and engineering, including image processing and holography. Transforming spatial
information into frequency information, allows us to separate, analyze, and manipulate the
complex data in a hologram. Whether used in traditional optical holography or cutting-edge
digital techniques, the Fourier transform remains at the heart of creating and understanding
these three-dimensional windows into captured light fields [11].

In holography, we're dealing with light waves. These waves have both amplitude (brightness)
and phase (timing of the wave peaks). When two or more waves combine, they create an
interference pattern. This is key to how holograms are created. Fourier Transform mathematical
operation converts a signal from its original domain (usually time or space) to a representation
in the frequency domain [1].

4.1 Hologram Creation

Creating a hologram involves these steps:

1. Split a laser beam into two parts: an object beam and a reference beam.

2. Shine the object beam onto the subject you want to capture.

3. The light scattered from the object combines with the reference beam on a photographic
plate.

4. This creates an interference pattern, which is the hologram.

Mathematically, we can describe this process using complex wave functions:

1. Object wave: O(x, y) = |O(x,y)| * exp(iφ_o(x,y))

2. Reference wave: R(x, y) = |R(x,y)| * exp(iφ_r(x,y))

Here, |O| and |R| represent amplitudes, while φ_o and φ_r represent phases.

The intensity pattern recorded on the hologram is:

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 13

 Screenless Display

I(x, y) = |O(x,y) + R(x,y)|^2 = |O|^2 + |R|^2 + OR + OR

Where * denotes the complex conjugate.

4.2 Enter the Fourier Transform

Imagine you have a complex musical chord. The Fourier transform is like breaking down that
chord into its individual notes. In holography, instead of notes, we're breaking down the
hologram into different spatial frequencies.

The Fourier transform of our hologram intensity pattern is:

F{I(x,y)} = F{|O|^2} + F{|R|^2} + F{OR} + F{OR}

Where:

1. F{} denotes the Fourier transform operation.

2. F{|O|^2} and F{|R|^2}: These are called DC terms. They represent the average intensity
and don't contain 3D information.
3. F{O*R}: This term contains information about the virtual image. It's like a window
into the 3D scene behind the hologram.
4. F{OR*}: This term contains information about the real image. It's like a 3D projection
in front of the hologram.

4.3 Hologram Reconstruction

To view the hologram:

1. Shine a reconstruction beam (similar to the original reference beam) onto the hologram.

2. The hologram diffracts this light.

3. This diffraction recreates the original object wave, forming a 3D image.

When we illuminate the hologram with a reconstruction beam R'(x,y), we get:

U(x,y) = R'(x,y) * I(x,y)

The * here means multiplication, not complex conjugate.

Taking the Fourier transform of this:

F{U(x,y)} = F{R'(x,y)} ⊗ F{I(x,y)}

SIPNA C. O. E. T., AMRAVATI 14

 Screenless Display

Where ⊗ denotes convolution.

The Fourier transform algorithm plays a crucial role in holography due to its ability to
decompose complex wave patterns into their constituent frequencies. In holography, light
waves scattered from an object interfere with a reference beam to create an interference pattern,
which is recorded as a hologram. The Fourier transform allows us to analyze and manipulate
this interference pattern in the frequency domain, enabling the reconstruction of the original
3D image. By applying the Fourier transform to the hologram, we can separate the different
orders of diffraction and isolate the desired image information. This mathematical tool also
facilitates various processing techniques, such as filtering and noise reduction, which enhance
the quality of the reconstructed holographic image. Additionally, the Fourier transform's
inverse operation is used to convert the processed frequency-domain information back into the
spatial domain, effectively reconstructing the 3D image from the hologram [11].

brightness levels than other display systems.
7. Ability to present 3D images: Retinal projectors deliver realistic stereoscopic images
with high-definition image pairs.
8. Ability to present farpoint images: Retinal projectors utilize the human visual system's
farpoint capability, reducing the need for nearpoint vision and potentially decreasing
myopia and eyeglasses use.
9. Lower costs: Although current retinal projector systems are expensive, mass production
and low-cost components will soon make them affordable. Environmental and disposal
costs will also be minimal due to the absence of toxic elements like lead, phosphorus,
arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.
