The invention relates to a display device for holographic reconstruction. The display device comprises a spatial light modulator device (SLM) having combined phase modulating pixels (p) and amplitude modulating pixels (a), an illumination unit (FLU, BLU) generating sufficiently coherent light and arranged to illuminate of the spatial light modulator device (SLM) and a reflection plane (RP). The device being arranged such that light enters the spatial light modulator device (SLM) and passes both the phase modulating pixel (p) and the amplitude modulating pixel (a) of the spatial light modulator device (SLM). The light is reflected by the reflection plane (RP) in between.
