          Application No. 08/817,825                                                  


               modulation device being tuned to a predetermined                       
               wavelength and transmitting a predetermined portion                    
               of light energy which it receives at said                              
               predetermined wavelength to said display screen,                       
                    wherein                                                           
                    each one of said plurality of image elements has                  
               a number of said plurality of display elements equal                   
               to a number of said plurality of illuminating light                    
               beams, and wherein said spatio-chromatic separation                    
               system is a holographic device receiving a beam                        
               containing a plurality of primary beams and                            
               transmitting each one of said plurality of primary                     
               beams in a respective different direction.
