Holographic display technology based on liquid crystal device

Abstract

AbstractHolographic display technology can reconstruct the same images of the original objects exactly, which has played a more and more important role and become the goal of the three‐dimensional display. As liquid crystal devices can modulate the polarization state of light, they have been widely used in the holographic display to modulate the phase and amplitude of information. Among them, liquid crystal spatial light modulator and liquid crystal lens are two important devices in the holographic diffraction. In this paper, several liquid crystal devices have been introduced and the holographic display technologies based on these liquid crystal devices have been discussed. The merits and demerits of these technologies based on the liquid crystal devices have been analyzed, and the outlook of the holographic display is given in the end.
