Abstract
The invention provides an autostereoscopic display device having an adjuster for adjusting the direction of a light beam (). The adjuster () has an off-state and on-state and comprises a stack () of layers. The stack () comprises a first solid material layer () having a first optic axis (), a second solid material layer () having a second optic axis (), and switchable birefringent twisted nematic liquid crystal material () or chiral nematic liquid crystal material. Further, the stack includes a first interface () between the first solid material layer () and birefringent material () and a second interface () between the second solid material layer () and birefringent material (). In the off-state, the birefringent material () at the first interface () is configured to have an optic axis parallel to the first optic axis () and the birefringent material () at the second interface () is configured to have an optic axis parallel to the second optic axis (). In the on-state, the birefringent material () at the first interface () is configured to have an optic axis perpendicular to the first optic axis () and the birefringent material () at the second interface () is configured to have an optic axis perpendicular to the second optic axis ().
