Light modulation device

Light modulator device with a spatial light modulator, a structured polarizer means, a controllable polarisation means and a light wave multiplexing means, where the spatial light modulator comprises discretely addressable modulator cells, where two modulator cells each are combined to form a modulation element, where the modulator cells modulate light waves which are capable of generating interference of a propagating light wave field with holographic information in a spatially structured way such that a specifiable spatial distribution of object light points of a three-dimensional scene is holographically reconstructed, where the modulator cells of each modulation element are adjacently arranged regarding the direction of propagation of the light wave field, where the light which is modulated by adjacently arranged modulator cells are given different polarization states by the structured polariser means, where the light wave multiplexing means is disposed and designed such that the different light wave portions—after having been modulated by the modulator cells and having different polarisation states—are combined on the exit side to form a modulated light wave multiplex such that the modulated light wave multiplex leaves the light wave multiplexing means substantially though a common point and substantially in the same direction of propagation, wherein in a first operational situation of the controllable polarisation means light wave portions of two adjacent modulator cells are combined by the light wave multiplexing means, whereas in a second operational situation of the controllable polarisation means light wave portions of two other adjacent modulator cells are combined by the light wave multiplexing means.
