Three-dimensional display with directional beam splitter array

Abstract

Multi-view three-dimensional (3-D) displays using directional beam splitter array were proposed to achieve a perfect 3-D perception with low cross-talk. The multi-direction collimated light may project different images to different viewing zones to form the multi-view autostereoscopic display. Furthermore, a high resolution 3-D display can be realized with a sequential beam splitter array and a sequential liquid crystal display. By optimization, the cross-talk of the directional beam splitter backlight system was lowered to 5% to improve the perception of the 3-D displays.
