AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY APPARATUS

摘要

An 2D/3D autostereoscopic display apparatus comprising a display device (301) is configured to display an image. The display device (301) comprises a plurality of pixels (304, 305). The pixels comprise at least a first group of pixels configured to emit light having a first state of polarization and at least a second group of pixels configured to emit light having a second state of polarization. The apparatus further comprises lenticular means comprising an array of birefringent lenticular elements (307, 317) configured to direct the light output of at least one of said groups of pixels such that the respecttive light (314, 315) output of said groups of pixels is emitted in mutually different directions so as to enable a stereoscopic perception of the displayed image. 2D and 3D areas can be displayed simultaneously. Switchable birefringent lenticutar elements provide a switchable 2D/3D display.
