Abstract

This invention relates to methods, apparatus, and computer program code for the holographic display of images. We describe a method of displaying an image holographically. The method includes displaying a hologram on pixels of a spatial light modulator (SLM) and illuminating the SLM such that the image is displayed in pixels of a replay field (RPF) of the hologram. The method further includes subdividing the replay field into a plurality of spatially interlaced regions, and displaying holograms for each of the interlaced regions of the replay field sequentially at different times such that in an observer's eye the interlaced regions integrate to give the impression of the image and such that interference between adjacent pixels of the replay field is reduced.
