Abstract:
The characteristics of modern microdisplays based on liquid crystals and electromechanical micromirrors are considered. These displays, being spatial light modulators, can rapidly generate large optical data arrays to be recorded as holograms and used for data processing. The potential of microdisplays for visualising digital holograms in real time is estimated.
Keywords:microdisplays, spatial light modulators, data processing, holography.
