Color holographic display based on azo-dye-doped liquid crystal

A multiplexed holographic display video has been achieved by using a passive azo-dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) cell. Holograms formed in this cell can be refreshed in the order of several milliseconds. By angular multiplexing technique, dynamically multiplexed holographic videos are realized. Moreover, the reconstructed RGB images are merged into a color image, which illustrates the possibility of a color holographic three-dimensional (3D) display by holographic multiplexing of the LC cell.
