Image size scalable full-parallax coloured three-dimensional video by electronic holography

Abstract

In electronic holography, various methods have been considered for using multiple spatial light modulators (SLM) to increase the image size. In a previous work, we used a monochrome light source for a method that located an optical system containing lens arrays and other components in front of multiple SLMs. This paper proposes a colourization technique for that system based on time division multiplexing using laser light sources of three colours (red, green, and blue). The experimental device we constructed was able to perform video playback (20â€...fps) in colour of full parallax holographic three-dimensional (3D) images with an image size of 63â€...mm and a viewing-zone angle of 5.6 degrees without losing any part of the 3D image.
