Abstract

A lensless full-color holographic Maxwellian near-eye display using a single amplitude-type spatial light modulator is proposed in this Letter. The color holographic image is directly projected onto the retina without any eyepiece. The color crosstalk is clearly separated from the signal in the space owing to the encoded spherical wave and carrier wave. An aperture numerical filter and a real polarized filter are used at the pupil plane to accurately stop the crosstalk light. A high-quality dynamic speckless color holographic image was produced in the mid-air within a specific depth range. The horizontal eyebox expansion is achieved simply through multiple spherical wave encoding and verified through an optical experiment. The proposed display is compact and promising as the augmented reality near-eye display.
