Disclosed is an apparatus and method of illuminating an image display via an electrically switchable holographic optical element. The method includes a first electrically switchable holographic optical element (ESHOE) receiving illumination light. The first ESHOE comprises oppositely facing front and back surfaces. The first ESHOE focuses a first component (e.g., p-polarized blue light) of the illumination light while transmitting the remaining components of the illumination light without substantial alteration. An image display is provided and receives the focused first component. In response to receiving the focused first component, the image display emits image light. The first ESHOE receives and transmits this image light without substantial alteration. In one embodiment, the focused first component emerges from the first ESHOE at the back surface thereof, and the first ESHOE receives the image light at the back surface.
