Abstract

The color display device includes at least a light source which emits at least two primary wavelengths and an array of holographic lenses (HL). Also included is a spatial light modulator (LCD) which includes one picture element (pixel) for each holographic lens with each pixel including one subpixel for each wavelength to be displayed. Each of the holographic lenses disperses the various wavelength and focuses each of them into one of the subpixels. The structure allows for a single lens structure for the various wavelengths.
