Do tiny pixels really make better holograms?

VividQ makes the case against tiny pixels in holography and for an approach using existing display tech.

VividQ challenges the notion that ever-smaller pixels are the key to unlocking true holographic displays. In a conversation with JPR, CEO Darran Milne and CTO Alfred Newman explain why bandwidth, not pixel pitch, is the real bottleneck in CGH—and why working with standard displays and smart optics may be the pragmatic path to scalable, high-quality holography. (Source: VividQ) There’s a pervasive assumption in computer-generated holography (CGH): smaller pixels must be better. They provide larger diffraction angles and finer detail, and so seem like the obvious route to progress. VividQ’s team disagrees and reached out to us to say exactly what
