Opt Express. 2014 Nov 3;22(22):26919-24. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.026919.

Abstract

We propose a floating aerial LED signage technique by utilizing retro-reflection. The proposed display is composed of LEDs, a half mirror, and retro-reflective sheeting. Directivity of the aerial image formation and size of the aerial image have been investigated. Furthermore, a floating aerial LED sign has been successfully formed in free space.
