Abstract
A multiview display and method employ an array of lenses to provide effective light sources from semi-collimated light. The multiview display includes a semi-collimated backlight configured to provide the semi-collimated light, an array of light valves arranged as multiview pixels, and an array of lenses disposed between the semi-collimated backlight and the array of lenses. Each lens of the array of lenses is configured to provide an effective light source at a focal plane of the lens to illuminate a corresponding multiview pixel.
