IMAGE DATA REDUNDANCY FOR HIGH QUALITY 3D

摘要

A multiple view directional display has an image display panel, a parallax optic and a control unit. The control unit is configured to address the image display panel to display first and second images on respective sets of X adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels. The parallax optic comprises parallax elements configured to allow a first region of the image display panel having a width of Y adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels to be visible to a left eye of a viewer, where Y≧3 and X−Y≧3, and to allow a second, different region of the image display panel having a width of Y adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels to be visible to a right eye of the viewer. Parallax elements of the parallax optic are inclined with respect to columns of pixels or sub-pixels of the image display panel.

主权项

1. A multiple view directional display comprising: an image display panel having a matrix of pixels or sub-pixels arranged in rows and columns; a parallax optic disposed in the path of light through the image display panel; and a control unit for addressing the pixels or sub-pixels;
wherein the control unit is configured to address the image display panel to display a first image on a first set of X adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels and a second image on a second set of X adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels, the first set being different from the second set; wherein the parallax optic comprises parallax elements configured to allow a first region of the image display panel having a width of Y adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels to be visible to a viewer's left eye, wherein the first region comprises a sub-set of the first set of X adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels and to allow a second region of the image display panel which is different to the first region and having a width of Y adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels to be visible to the viewer's right eye, wherein the second region comprises a sub-set of the second set of X adjacent columns of pixels or sub-pixels; wherein Y≧3 and X−Y≧3; and wherein parallax elements of the parallax optic are inclined with respect to columns of pixels or sub-pixels of the image display panel.
