Researchers develop an OLED-based holographic lightfield display

Researchers at Canada's Queen's University Human Media Lab developed a prototype phone called HoloFlex that use a holographic lightfield 3D display that can "project" 3D images.

The HoloFlex uses a flexible 5.5" Full-HD (403 PPI) OLED display (seems to be the same LGD panel used in the G Flex 2) with a 3D-printed flexible lens-array on top, that forms a 160x104 matrix (16,640 lenses). Each lens projects the 12 pixel-wide circular area directly underneath it out into space.

Each lens projects a slightly different view of the same scene - which together makes a 160x104 3D image about a full scene over a field of view of about 35 degrees. All this means that HoloFlex can transform software models into lightfield display-based holograms, resulting in images that have depth and exhibit motion parallax and can be viewed from multiple perspectives by multiple users.

I'd have been shocked to discover anyone patterning a display at that resolution 'down under'. 

Well done to those Canucks!

You're right Karl, my bad!
