Integrated rainbow hologram

A method for providing holographic display comprising;

• providing first and second spaced transparent sheets;
• mounting a holographic plate upon one of said sheets;
• providing first and second mirrors respectively overlying portions of said first and second spaced transparent sheets such that reflective surfaces of the first and second mirrors are facing each other, said first mirror being larger than said second mirror, said first mirror being disposed on the same sheet upon which said holographic plate is mounted;
• and
• providing a light source disposed between said transparent sheets for providing an illuminating light for the holographic plate.

A method for providing a holographic display having a self-contained light source comprising;

• forming a hologram on a holographic plate utilizing a converging reference light;
• mounting said holographic plate upon a first transparent sheet;
• providing a second transparent sheet spaced from said first transparent sheet;
• disposing first and second mirrors over respective portions of each of said first and second transparent sheets such that reflective surfaces of said mirrors are facing each other, said first mirror disposed on said first transparent sheet being larger than said second mirror;
• and
• providing an illuminating light source between said first and second transparent sheets such that said light source provides a diverging illumination light.

A holographic display comprising;

• first and second spaced transparent sheets;
• a holographic plate mounted upon one of said sheets;
• first and second mirrors respectively overlying portions of said first and second spaced transparent sheets such that reflective surfaces of the first and second mirrors are facing each other, said mirrors being aluminum mirrors such that the mirrors assist in dissipating heat from the display;
• and
• a light source disposed between said transparent sheets.
