Abstract

Ambient lighting seldom produces optimum illumination for display holograms. This paper describes some considerations for producing compact illuminator packages for transmission holograms that guarantee optimum illumination. An application of the illuminator in a hybrid display that uses both a holographic image and a liquid crystal display as a user interface for a business machine will be described.
