Phase-only holograms are more attractive than the amplitude holograms for the higher energy utilization and the possibility to realize on-axis holographic 3D display without conjugate image. In this study, we propose a high-resolution phase-only holographic 3D display using the light field images rendered in the frequency domain. The high-resolution phase-only hologram contains a large number of elemental phase-only holograms (EPHs), and each EPH is calculated from the light field image of the corresponding viewing point in frequency domain through weighted GS (Gerchberg-Saxton) algorithm. Parallel calculation is performed to speed up the calculation in the row direction and the previous EPH is used as the initial phase for the current EPH calculation in order to improve the display quality due to the great similarity between adjacent light field images. Two high-resolution phase-only holograms both with the size of 64 mm×64 mm and the resolution of 200k×200k pixels were calculated and printed by our homemade holographic printer. The full-parallax and high quality 3D displays were verified by optical experiments, which have the potential to be applied in holographic advertising and other fields.

Direct coding of light field images for high-resolution holographic 3D display is proposed. Two high-resolution holograms for static 3D display and multi-view dynamic 3D display are calculated and optically reconstructed to approve the validate of proposed method.
