Holographic optical elements (HOEs) provide systems of thin-film optics that could include a variety of functions and have many advantages as optical devices in various research fields. Research and developments based on the use of HOEs in the fields of communications and displays are in progress. This paper introduces the properties of HOEs and their applications in diffractive optical elements (DOEs), holographic projection screens, and head-mounted displays (HMDs). For widespread use of HOE technology in these various applications some challenges need to be solved, as discussed in this paper.

A 16-views 3 dimensional imaging system is designed by spatially combinding two 8-views time multiplexed image channels. Each 8-views channel composed of 3 primary color CRTs and a dichroic beam splitter which combining the three CRTs as one channel. Each CRT displays 8-view images time sequentially. These images are projected to a holographic screen of a size 1$\times$0.8 $m^2$ through a projection optics. Characteristics of the three different configurations of projection optics are examined with the optics designing program "DEMOS" to select an optimized projection optics for the system. The configulation of the optimized projection optics is found like following; images from each channel combined by two-fold mirror are projected by a projection objective through a 16-strips LCD shutter. In this configuration, the shutter should be located at the entrance pupil of the objective, and the folded edge of the two-fold mirror should contact symmetrically to the center line of the shutter.e shutter.
