摘要

Abstract

Holographic 3D display is highly desirable for numerous applications ranging from medical treatments to military affairs. However

it is challenging to simultaneously achieve large viewing angle and high-fidelity color reconstruction due to the intractable constraints of existing technology. Here

we conceptually propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple and feasible pathway of using a well-designed color liquid crystal grating to overcome the inevitable chromatic aberration and enlarge the holographic viewing angle

thus enabling large-viewing-angle and color holographic 3D display. The use of color liquid crystal grating allows performing secondary diffraction modulation on red

green and blue reproduced images simultaneously and extending the viewing angle in the holographic 3D display system. In principle

a chromatic aberration-free hologram generation mechanism in combination with the color liquid crystal grating is proposed to pave the way for on such a superior holographic 3D display. The proposed system shows a color viewing angle of ~50.12°

which is about 7 times that of the traditional system with a single spatial light modulator. This work presents a paradigm for achieving desirable holographic 3D display

and is expected to provide a new way for the wide application of holographic display.

A color liquid crystal grating based color holographic 3D display system is proposed with large viewing angle.
