Abstract
An imaging system can include a segmented modulator, for example, a spatial light modulator, that is segmented into two or more equally or differently sized regions, and utilized to create a 3D, pseudo 3D, hologram, pseudo hologram, holographic, or pseudo holographic image. A voltage control unit is coupled to the spatial light modulator and controls voltages across each of the regions, wherein the voltage across one of the regions differs from the voltage across another one of the regions.
