Wide-angle speckleless DMD holographic display using structured illumination with temporal multiplexing

Abstract

We propose a digital micromirror device (DMD) holographic display, where speckleless holograms can be observed in the expanded viewing zone. Structured illumination (SI) is applied to expand the small diffraction angle of the DMD using a laser diode (LD) array. To eliminate diffraction noise from SI, we utilize an active filter array for the Fourier filter and synchronize it with the LD array. The speckle noise is reduced via temporal multiplexing, where the proposed system supports a dynamic video of 60 Hz using the DMD's fast operation property. The proposed system is verified and evaluated with experimental results.
