Multi-user display systems and methods

摘要

Image display systems and methods are provided. A plurality of pixel groups, each including a plurality of independent pixels, forms a display. A plurality of lenses (1251-N) forming an optical array and aligned along at least one axis (130), can be disposed proximate the display. Each of the plurality of lenses can provide a limited viewing arc (1501-N) for each of the plurality of independent pixels. A sample system can also include a detector (160) to detect the presence and location of a first user (165) and a second user (170) and logic (175), that when executed by a processor (180) coupled to the display, routes a first display signal (1451) based upon the viewing arc of a first portion of pixels; and routes a second display signal (1452) based upon the viewing arc of a second portion of pixels.

1. An image display system comprising:
a plurality of pixel groups forming a display, each of the plurality of pixel groups including a plurality of independent pixels; an optical array disposed proximate the display, the optical array including a plurality of lenses aligned along at least one axis;
each of the plurality of lenses providing a viewing arc for each of the plurality of independent pixels; a detector to detect a location of a first user and a second user; and logic, that when executed by a processor coupled to the display:
routes a first display signal viewable only to the first user to the pixels within a first portion of the plurality of pixel groups based upon the viewing arc of the pixels and the location of the first user; androutes a second display signal viewable only to the second user to the pixels within a second portion of the plurality of pixel groups based upon the viewing arc of the pixels and the location of the second user, wherein each pixel group has a number of pixels equal in number to a plurality of distinct user locations in which just one display signal that the display displays is viewable, and a number of the lenses is equal to a number of the pixel groups.
