  • Publication number: 20070134559
    Abstract: A hologram production method comprising steps in which a specific image-converting apparatus, specific hologram exposure apparatus, and specific processor are used, wherein the exposure apparatus is of the type in which partial element holograms are formed on a photosensitive material by exposing the photosensitive material while moving the exposure head to continuously scan in a recording direction X and intermittently conveying the photosensitive material in a direction Y, and employs an exposure light source which intermittently illuminates at a frequency of 100 Hz or higher for a period of 1 ?s or shorter so as to interlock with an image displayed on an SLM. The photosensitive material is a silver halide photosensitive material having specific features as described in the specification.
