Abstract

A method for producing a hologram recording an interference fringe formed by an object light and a reference light on a photosensitive dry plate, and the object light either having diffusing and scattering characteristics or being passed through an optical diffusion body, mainly includes the following steps: In a first step, a ratio .eta..sub.R0 /.eta..sub.00 of a first diffraction efficiency .eta..sub.00 and a second diffraction efficiency .eta..sub.R0, is calculated. The diffraction efficiency .eta..sub.00 is dependent on two object light beams. The efficiency .eta..sub.R0 is dependent on the object light and the reference light. In a second step, the intensity E.sub.O of the object light and the intensity E.sub.R of the reference light is adjusted in such a way that the ratio .eta..sub.R0 /.eta..sub.00 is set to at least 10 and the efficiency .eta..sub.00 does not exceed 5%. A display device using the above hologram is structured by a display unit for generating a signal light; a hologram screen formed by either reflection or transmission hologram, and a projecting unit for projecting the signal light to the hologram screen. According to the present invention, it is possible to …
