3D Autostereoscopic Liquid Crystal Display Based on Lenticular Lens

Abstract

According to binocular parallax and the optical property of lenticular lens, a three-dimension (3D) autostereoscopic liquid crystal display was developed. The display is composed of a two-dimension (2D) flat liquid crystal display and a lenticular lens sheet. Nine views are used to realize the display of 3D static, animation and video images. A 19-inch 3D monitor prototype presents the same brightness, contrast ratio and color as those of the corresponding 2D display. Only the resolution reduces on both the horizontal and vertical direction of the screen reasonably. The viewing distance is (1000±500)mm and viewing angle is 90o. Several viewers without wearing eyeglass can see 3D stereo images on the prototype of the display.
