Abstract
A multiview backlight, multiview display, and method employ arrays of active emitters arranged in columns to provide directional light beams having directions corresponding to view directions of a multiview display. The multiview backlight includes a first array of active emitters arranged in columns and configured to provide a first plurality of directional light beams and a second array of active emitters arranged in columns and configured to provide a second plurality of directional light beams. Columns of the second active emitter array are disposed between and alternate with the columns of the first active emitter array. The multiview display further includes an array of light valves configured to modulate the directional light beams to display a multiview image. The view directions of the multiview display are in a plane that crosses the columns of first and second active emitter arrays.
