In this paper, we propose a dual-view-zone tabletop 3D display system based on integral imaging by using a multiplexed holographic optical element (MHOE) that has the optical properties of two sets of microlens arrays. The MHOE is recorded by a reference beam using the single-exposure method. The reference beam records the wavefronts of a microlens array from two different directions. Thus, when the display beam is projected on the MHOE, two wavefronts with the different directions will be rebuilt and the 3D virtual images can be reconstructed in two viewing zones. The MHOE has angle and wavelength selectivity. Under the conditions of the matched wavelength and the angle of the display beam, the diffraction efficiency of the MHOE is greatest. Because the unmatched light just passes through the MHOE, the MHOE has the advantage of a see-through display. The experimental results confirm the feasibility of the dual-view-zone tabletop 3D display system.

We propose a dual-view integral imaging 3D display based on a multiplexed lens-array holographic optical element (MHOE). A MHOE is a volume holographic optical element obtained by multiplexing technology, which can be used for dual-view integral imaging 3D display due to the angle selectivity of the volume HOE. In the fabrication of the MHOE, two spherical wavefront arrays with different incident angles are recorded using photopolymer material. In the reconstruction, two projectors are used to project the elemental image arrays (EIA) with corresponding angles for two viewing zones. We have developed a prototype of the dual-view integral imaging display. The experimental results demonstrate the correctness of the theory.

In the point-based method, the aliasing phenomenon in the hologram plane is usually considered as a harmful phenomenon because it will degrade the reconstructed image quality. In this paper, the advantage of the aliasing phenomenon is employed to improve the reconstructed image quality of the phase-only hologram. Through analysis of the principle of this phenomenon, we proposed a method to improve the reconstructed image quality of the phase-only hologram. By controlling the strength of the aliasing, the amplitude distribution in the hologram plane can be turned into a nearly uniform distribution. It is helpful to generate an optimized phase-only hologram, which results in higher quality of the reconstructed image because the effect of lost information caused by abandon the amplitude part can be diminished. Moreover, a holographic see-through display system is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
