title: Electro-holographic display using a ZBLAN glass as the image space.
abstract: An Er3+-doped ZBLAN glass is used to display a 360° viewable reconstructed image from a hologram on a DMD. The reconstructed image, when the hologram is illuminated by a 852 nm wavelength laser beam, is situated at the inside of the glass, and then a 1530 nm wavelength laser beam is crossed through the image to light it with an upconversion green light, which is viewable at all surrounding directions. This enables us to eliminate the limitation of the viewing zone angle imposed by the finite size of pixels in electro-holographic displays based on digital display chips/panels. The amount of the green light is much higher than that known previously. This is partly caused by the upconversion luminescence induced by 852 and 1530 nm laser beams.
