Nice summary from jharker!

Also as for being the first to reproduce true colour, possibly the claimants hadn't head of the Lippmann process (circa 1891); this captured the wavelengths of the light directly. There's a very short/poor Wikipedia article about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_plate

It's now getting renewed interest as an 'unforgeable' biometric image or 'signature' for passports, etc.; see: http://www.holographyforum.org/HoloW...pmann_Security

.... and could be a basis for e-book displays of the future...
