Holography is a technology which has a wide range of applications in everyday life.  It utilizes the coherence property of monochromic light sources for accurate control of light distribution in space.  Holographic 3D display has the potential to provide all depth cues based on reconstructing wave front, and it can be free from any visual side effect, such as conflict between binocular parallax and accommodation cue.  It has been regarded as the best option for futuristic 3D displays, attracting a lot of attention and effort for the related research and technology development.   This talk will give an overview of digital and phase-only holography, followed by our efforts made in recent years towards delivering high quality holographic 3D images.
