Display devices can be point based, ray based, or interference based. Point and ray based displays can be studied using [[ray optics]]. Interference based displays must be examined using [[wave optics]]. Point based devices are based on point sources. These include laptop screens, televisions, and smartphone screens.+Ray based devices are based on [[ray]]s. These include heads up displays in cars.+Stereoscopic visual displays include [[VR headset]]s.+
Common digital state machines include computers.

−Ray based devices are based on [[ray]]s. These include heads up displays in cars.
−==By position==
+===Stereoscopic===
+Stereoscopic visual displays include [[VR headset]]s.
−Interference based devices are also called holographic devices. The display device modulates light that interferes with itself and forms a pattern at some distance. This is the rarest type of device.
