A multi-view (MV) display with reduced bezels is provided. An MV display device includes: i) a flat panel display (FPD) with a front emission surface and including: an interior image area comprising a plurality of FPD pixels, each comprising a plurality of sub-pixels; and a perimeter non-image area; ii) an image expansion layer comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is coupled to the front emission surface of the FPD; a profile of the second surface is equal to or extends beyond a profile of the perimeter non-image area of the FPD; and the plurality of FPD pixels of the front emission surface of the FPD are imaged from the first surface to the second surface of the image expansion layer; and iii) a front optic layer coupled to the second surface of the image expansion layer.

Multi-view display with reduced bezels comprising an image expansion layer

A multi-view (MV) display panel includes a flat panel display (FPD) having FPD pixels, and lenses configured to image the FPD. Each of the FPD pixels, when imaged through one of the lenses, forms a beamlet that is emitted in a direction unique from other beamlets formed by other FPD pixels through the lens. The lens and the FPD pixels which, when imaged through the lens, form beamlets emitted in different directions collectively configure an MV pixel. Each of the FPD pixels includes multiple sub-pixels. The MV display panel also includes a diffuser arranged between the FPD and the lenses, and a light block configured to isolate a diffusion of the multiple sub-pixels of each FPD pixel from its neighboring FPD pixels. The FPD may be backlit using custom lighting and optics. Lens elements may be staggered in a manner that facilitates assembly of the lenses.

A multi-view (MV) network bridge device includes an upstream interface, multiple downstream interfaces, and a controller. The controller receives, from the upstream interface, a specification of one or more viewing zones and a specification of one or more content streams. Also, the controller sends, on at least one of the downstream interfaces, at least a subset of each of the specifications received from the upstream interface. The upstream interface may be coupled to a computer that provides the specifications. Each of the downstream interfaces may be coupled to a different MV display panel. One of the downstream interfaces may be coupled to an MV display panel that is coupled to another MV display panel. One of the downstream interfaces may be coupled to an upstream interface of another MV network bridge device having a downstream interface coupled to an MV display panel.

A multi-view (MV) transportation hub information system is provided, which includes: a MV display including one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, wherein each MV pixel is configured to emit beamlets in different directions; a sensing system configured to detect a first location of a first blob and a second location of a second blob; an input node configured to receive a first attribute of a first viewer and a second attribute of a second viewer; and a system controller configured to perform user tagging to tag the first blob with the first attribute and to tag the second blob with the second attribute. The system controller controls the MV pixels to project a first image based on the first attribute to the first viewer tagged with the first blob, and to project a second image based on the second attribute to the second viewer tagged with the second blob.
