Abstract: A method of displaying a video image comprises receiving sequential image frames at a processor. Each image frame is processed to obtain a kinoform. A programmable diffractive element such as an SLM represents the sequence of kinoforms allowing reproduction of the image using a suitable illumination beam.

Abstract: This invention relates to holographic image display systems, and to related methods and processor control code. We describe a method of displaying an image holographically, the method including: inputting display image data defining said image for display; processing said image data to determine first image data representing a first spatial frequency portion of said image data and second image data representing a second spatial frequency portion of said image data, wherein said second spatial frequency is higher than said first spatial frequency; displaying a hologram of said first image data on a spatial light modulator (SLM) to form a holographically-generated intermediate real image; modulating said intermediate real image using said second image data to display said image.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for displaying images using multi-line addressing (MLA) or total matrix addressing (TMA) techniques, with reduced noise. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for driving OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays.

Abstract: The invention relates to method, computer program code and signal processing/image display systems for displaying one or more images using holographic techniques. We describe a method of generating data for displaying an image defined by displayed image data using a plurality of holographically generated temporal subframes, the temporal subframes being displayed sequentially in time such that they are perceived as a single noise-reduced image. The method includes generating from the displayed image data holographic data for each subframe of said set of subframes such that successive replay of holograms defined by said holographic data for said subframes gives the appearance of said image, and wherein the method further includes, when generating said holographic data for a said subframe, compensating for noise in said displayed image arising from one or more previous subframes of said sequence of holographically generated subframes.

Abstract: This disclosure 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: dividing the image into a plurality of spatial tiles; and displaying, for each tile in rapid succession, at least one hologram to reproduce an image of the tile, to give the impression of the plurality of tiles together; and wherein the method also includes controlling a shutter spatial light modulator (SLM) in a replay field of the holograms such that when each tile is displayed light for the others of the plurality of tiles is substantially blocked.
