5 milestones in holographic display tech

Holography was invented in 1947 by Denis Gabor to improve electron microscope resolution.

The first laser was developed in 1960, enabling practical optical holograms.

Yuri Denisyuk invented the white-light reflection hologram in 1962.

Stephen Benton invented rainbow holography in 1968, allowing holograms to be viewed with natural light.

Full-color holography techniques have now been perfected for mass production.
