Abstract: Methods and an apparatus for color holographic display are provided. The method for color holographic display includes modifying a plurality of color component light beams by passing light from each of a plurality of color component light sources through a corresponding one of a plurality of color sub-hologram masks to generate a corresponding plurality of modified color component light beams. The plurality of modified color component light beams are color multiplexed to generate a multiplexed masked color light beam. The multiplexed masked color light beam is shined onto modulated computer generated holographic information corresponding to the object in order to reconstruct the object by diffracting each portion of the multiplexed masked color light beam to a location and at an intensity determined in response to a corresponding portion of the computer generated holographic information to create the object as a color holographic display.
