The invention discloses a volumetric three-dimensional display device and method based on circumferential screen scanning, the device comprises a high speed projection device, a screen turning transmitting device, a screen group, a rotating speed detection device, a central control module and a PC, and the screen group comprises a plurality of screens which are fixedly arranged on the screen turning transmitting device. According to the invention, a screen moves in an imaging space at uniform speed in one direction from beginning to end, imaging complexity is greatly reduced, large depth of field can be realized, compared with reciprocating type screen translation scanning, unidirectional rotation type screen scanning has no acceleration and deceleration process, scanning rate is easily to improve, voxel quantity of three-dimensional imaging is greatly increased, so that three-dimensional imaging resolution is improved, acceleration and deceleration of reciprocating motion are avoided, vibration and loss of hardware and structure portion of the device are reduced, and service life of the device is prolonged.
