Abstract

A holographic arrangement is provided with light filtering means for transmitting only those light rays to the hologram which are incident to the hologram at the prescribed angles required for substantial diffraction while at the same time operating to preclude the transmission of other light rays to the hologram which would otherwise be incident to the hologram at angles outside the prescribed range of angles required for substantial diffraction by the hologram. In this manner background light which would otherwise be transmitted through a hologram so as to degrade the quality of a stereoscopic image reconstructed from the hologram is precluded from ever reaching the viewing area.
