LENTICULAR DEVICE FOR AN AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY APPARRATUS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A method of producing a lenticular device for an autostereoscopic display apparatus comprises providing a substrate having a surface which corresponds in shape to a desired surface profile for the array of lenticular elements, and providing an optical layer mixture of an optically birefringent material and a polymer precursor over the substrate surface. The optical layer is exposed to a stimulus for polymerizing the polymer precursor to have at least a polymer surface layer, thereby enclosing the material between the polymerized material and the surface to define lenticular elements.;This method allows a simple polymerization process, forming a single layer, to complete the LC cell formation in the desired lenticular array shape.

1. A lenticular device for an autostereoscopic display apparatus, the lenticular device comprising:
an array of lenticular elements formed on a substrate, the lenticular elements being formed of a mixture of a liquid crystal material and a polymer precursor, the array of lenticular elements extending between a substrate surface, having an upper surface which corresponds in shape to the curved lenticular element surfaces, and a polymer surface layer formed by polymerization of a portion of the polymer precursor of the mixture.
