In this paper, a new multiview autostereoscopic display system using the volume holographic optical element (VHOE) is proposed. The VHOE is used for projecting the multiview images to the spatially different directions sequencially in time and it can be made from volume holographic recording materials. In this paper, Dupont photopolymer is used for VHOE materials and measured its physical properties such as sensitivity, diffraction efficiency for the optimal recording of diffraction gratings. In addition, from analyzing the dynamical aspects of optical characteristics for the photopolymer-based VHOE with coversheet, it is more useful for the practical implementation of the VHOE-based multiview 3D display system. By analyzing the basic and dynamic characteristics of Dupont photopolymer through some experiments, the feasibility for the implementation of VHOE-based multiview autostereoscopic display system is suggested.
