Information reduction by limited resolution for electroholographic display

Because the information content of a hologram is extraordinarily large, information reduction is essential to the realization of a practical electro-holographic display system. We have investigated a sub-sampling method to reduce the information content of an electro- holographic display. This sub-sampling, however, also causes a blurring of the displayed 3D images. We discuss both the theory of the relation between the information reduction rate and the image blur and our experimental results.
