Full high-definition digital 3D holographic display and its enabling technologies

Holographic display is a true three-dimensional (3D) display technology presenting all depth cues without using any special glasses. In this paper, we first introduce a monochrome digital 3D holographic display system developed at Data Storage Institute (DSI), which is capable of displaying both static and dynamic 3D objects reconstructed from computer-generated holograms (CGHs). The system can also display 50-Mpixel holograms at 25 Hz refresh rate via a novel hologram tiling approach, which enables the increase of displayed image size. A futuristic vision for full high-definition (HD) digital 3D holographic display is then proposed and analyzed. The dynamic reconstruction of full-HD 3D objects from CGHs has been preliminarily demonstrated. Finally, we introduce the development trends of its enabling technologies such as highperformance computing, new algorithms, data storage and transmission, spatial light modulator (SLM) and RGB (red, green and blue) laser sources.
