Applications of holographic stereograms by a large liquid crystal display

A fabrication method for holographic stereograms using a large liquid crystal display panel (LCD) is proposed and experimental results are described. Holographic stereogram is a useful method that can synthesize computer graphics or portraits of 2D perspectives but its process is troublesome. An LCD of a lap top personal computer is applied for perspective display. This method has some advantages, e.g., simple optical layout, no registration mechanism, no aberration by projection lenses and so on. A technique to improve the quality of holograms with a holographic optical element is also proposed.
