Disclosed is a holographic display including a spatial light modulator (SLM) with pixels, the SLM pixels being on a substrate, the SLM including circuitry which is on the same substrate as the SLM pixels, the circuitry operable to perform calculations which provide an encoding of the SLM.

Method for computing the code for the reconstruction of three-dimensional scenes which include objects which partly absorb light or sound. The method can be implemented in a computing unit. In order to reconstruct a three-dimensional scene as realistic as possible, the diffraction patterns are computed separately at their point of origin considering the instances of absorption in the scene. The method can be used for the representation of three-dimensional scenes in a holographic display or volumetric display. Further, it can be carried out to achieve a reconstruction of sound fields in an array of sound sources.

A sub-hogel configuration for a high-definition light field display. Also described is an optical device and three-dimensional light field display technology and more particularly, three-dimensional holographic pixels (hogels) composed of monochromatic sub-hogels and a designed metasurface acting as a directional optical element for a light field display. The described sub-hogel structure design and method is suited for an achromatic metasurface to provide directional pixels for multiple view light field coloured displays.

A metasurface structure including an array of sub-wavelength structures including a phase change material (PCM), encoded with different holographic images based on different phases of the PCM, the different phases including a first phase and a second phase. Phase transition between the first phase and the second phase occurs when the metasurface structure is thermally tuned. Each sub-wavelength structure in the array has a distinctive phase difference between the first phase and the second phase of the PCM.
