Abstract
An autostereoscopic display comprises an SLM which is controlled to provide an image display and a signal display. A parallax optic has a first portion which cooperates with the image display to form a plurality of viewing windows. A second portion of the parallax optic forms first and second images visible to an observer at alternate viewing windows so as to allow the observer to distinguish between desired orthoscopic viewing zones and undesirable viewing positions such as pseudoscopic positions.
