Abstract
Abstract A holographic television system is disclosed which is capable of generating, transmitting and reconstructing three-dimensional moving pictures in real time and in color while using no more electromagnetic bandwidth for transmission than required by present-day black and white television signals.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
245 words
A three-dimensional (3D) television (TV) picture receiving system including cabinet, said single cabinet adapted to completely house said receiving system comprising: an image producing device for producing an electronically received image; means for mounting said image producing device within said cabinet; said image producing device being a cathode ray tube (CRT); said CRT having a full-silvered, light reflecting side internal of said tube and a light transparent side opposite to said full-silvered side for transmitting said produced image off to the side of said CRT while retaining said image within the confines of said cabinet, said cabinet adapted to mount said CRT off to one side of the other components mounted therewithin; a reconstructing plate mounted within said cabinet for display of the image produced by said CRT; means for mounting said reconstructing plate internal to the said cabinet; at least one device for producing coherent light; means for mounting therewithin said cabinet said light device; one said mounting means for each said light device; said mounting means adapted to allow said components to shine said coherent light upon said image being displayed upon with reconstructing plate; magnifying lens for externally presenting said internally received and reconstructed 3D TV picture to a viewer; means for mounting said lens to perform said function; a minimum of one audio speaker to provide sound simultaneously to the picture; and means for mounting said speaker, one means for each speaker extant, to allow said speaker to perform said function.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
245 words
A three-dimensional (3D) television (TV) picture receiving system including cabinet, said single cabinet adapted to completely house said receiving system comprising: an image producing device for producing an electronically received image; means for mounting said image producing device within said cabinet; said image producing device being a cathode ray tube (CRT); said CRT having a full-silvered, light reflecting side internal of said tube and a light transparent side opposite to said full-silvered side for transmitting said produced image off to the side of said CRT while retaining said image within the confines of said cabinet, said cabinet adapted to mount said CRT off to one side of the other components mounted therewithin; a reconstructing plate mounted within said cabinet for display of the image produced by said CRT; means for mounting said reconstructing plate internal to the said cabinet; at least one device for producing coherent light; means for mounting therewithin said cabinet said light device; one said mounting means for each said light device; said mounting means adapted to allow said components to shine said coherent light upon said image being displayed upon with reconstructing plate; magnifying lens for externally presenting said internally received and reconstructed 3D TV picture to a viewer; means for mounting said lens to perform said function; a minimum of one audio speaker to provide sound simultaneously to the picture; and means for mounting said speaker, one means for each speaker extant, to allow said speaker to perform said function.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The 3D TV system of claim 1 wherein an image reducing lens is mounted within said cabinet for the purpose of reducing the spatial size of said produced image before displaying same on said reconstructing plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The system of claim 2 wherein is mounted a CRT having an image-reducing fresnel lens made integral to said transparent side for eliminating the need for a separate image reducing lens mount within said cabinet.
