Abstract A single SLM based full-color holographic three-dimensional (3D) display system using off-axis color-multiplexed-hologram (CMH) is proposed. In the proposed display system, a specially designed optical element, which consists of two prisms, a transparent glass and RGB color filters, is used to filter and refract the illuminated white light source into three primary colors with different directions. Such a process can enhance the separation angle of those color dispersed images. Thus, the affiliated images caused by color dispersion will separate away from the master images. Finally, a full color image can be reconstructed from a single SLM without any intrusion of affiliated images. Optical analysis and experiments with 3D color objects confirm the feasibility of the proposed system in the practical application.
