Wide viewing angle holographic display with a multi-spatial light modulator array

Abstract

In the paper we present the design of a wide viewing angle display system capable of displaying digital holograms captured in a rotary CCD configuration. We have discussed the two possible configurations of multi LC SLMs system: with a normal LC SLM illumination and with tilted LC SLMs and parallel illumination. The second system was selected and the tilted plane algorithm, necessary for recalculation of displayed holograms was tested. Finally we have presented and discussed different means of visual perception of holographic images: with an asymmetric diffuser and with an eyepiece.
