Abstract

Holographic display faces the trade-off between image quality and focus cues, resulting from the specific choice of phase distribution. In this Letter, we propose a speckle-free holographic display with enhanced focus cues by multiple directional light reconstruction. The uniform phase hologram is first generated by the gradient descent optimization algorithm. The blazed grating phase is used to steer the object light to a specific direction. Multiple sub-holograms with different blazed gratings are refreshed fast to reconstruct the images from different directions. Thus, the defocus blur is improved due to the separation of multiple spots on the defocus plane. The multi-plane reconstruction is also realized by pre-processing the depth images to eliminate image separation. The proposed method provides apparent focus cues while maintaining high image qualities, which is expected to realize comfortable holographic near-eye display in the near future.
