Abstract

Gratings with a printed 2D representation of a 3D image is described. An example provides an apparatus including a substrate with a plurality of gratings comprising substantially parallel grooves patterned to scatter an input planar light beam into a plurality of directional light beams, and a printed 2D representation of the 3D image over the plurality of gratings to modulate the plurality of directional light beams to generate the 3D image.
