Abstract
A method of using a display system having a spatial light modulator (14) to display holographic images. The spatial light modulator (14) generates images that represent vertical strips of a hologram. These images are de-magnified by a three-dimensional optics unit (18), in the horizontal direction so as to form image strips. A scanning mirror (45) scans the image strips in a series across an image plane at a rate sufficiently fast that the viewer perceives a composite hologram comprised of these image strips.
