Abstract
A holographic display system combining the spatial- and time-multiplexing together in one system is proposed. The system is constructed by multiple planar aligned spatial-light-modulators (SLMs). A shiftable cylindrical lens is introduced in to build up an “equivalent SLM” by seamlessly linked horizontal images of the SLMs, which are tiled in a time-sequential manner. The proposed system can realize wide horizontal-viewing-angle holographic three-dimensional (3D) display through the “equivalent SLM”, but bear with low requirements on the number and frame rate of SLMs, and the numerical aperture of the optical system. In the proposed system, only one parallel incident beam is needed, leading to a simplified optical structure. Using two 60Hz phase SLMs, a 3D display with a horizontal viewing angle (VA) of 27.5° is implemented experimentally.
