A flat screen autostereoscopic display for bright wide angle stereoscopic images employs a flat screen on which are displayed a light pattern such as a plurality of regularly spaced, thin, vertical light emitting lines. The light lines are formed through use of electrically switchable materials such as liquid crystal or electrochromic materials. A transmissive electronic display, e.g., a liquid crystal display, is located in front of the light lines. The display and light lines are arranged in such a way that an observer sees the light emitting lines through one set of pixels with the left eye and the same lines through a different set of pixels through the right eye. Methods and apparatus for the simultaneous formation of a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image on such a transmissive electronic display, and for moving or dragging the display area of the three-dimensional image from one location to another on said display, are also disclosed.
