1. A three-dimensional holographic display device comprising:
a light emitting diode (LED) array comprising a plurality of light sources, wherein the plurality of light sources comprise a plurality of light source sets, each of the plurality of light source sets comprising at least two light sources among the plurality of light sources;
a lens configured to refract light incident from the LED array;
a spatial light modulator (SLM) configured to modulate light incident from the lens; and
a processor configured to:
control the plurality of light source sets in a unit of light source set to sequentially output light according to a preset repeating pattern;
generate a plurality of holographic signals each comprising depth information adjusted according to an arrangement location of each of the plurality of light source sets in the LED array; and
for each of the plurality of light source sets, control the SLM to modulate the light based on a holographic signal corresponding to a light source set of the plurality of light source sets.
