Existing computational holographic displays often suffer from limited reconstruction image quality mainly due to ill-conditioned optics hardware and hologram generation software. In this Letter, we develop an end-to-end hardware-in-the-loop approach toward high-quality for displays. Unlike other methods using ideal wave propagation, ours can reduce artifacts introduced by both the light propagation model setup, in particular non-uniform illumination. Experimental results reveal that,...
