Multiview autostereoscopic display

Abstract

A multiview autostereoscopic display includes: a backlight; a first polarized panel transmitting light having a first polarization; a first polarization switch changing the polarization of incident light; a first anisotropic device array including anisotropic devices sequentially and repeatedly arranged in a horizontal direction, such that light transmitted from neighboring anisotropic devices has perpendicular polarizations; a lenticular lens array having lenticular lens devices, arranged horizontally, which separate incident light into different directions; a second polarized panel transmitting light having a second polarization; a second anisotropic device array having anisotropic devices alternately horizontally arranged, such that the anisotropic devices transmit light having perpendicular polarizations; a second polarization switch changing the polarization of light from the lenticular lens array; a third anisotropic device array having anisotropic devices, alternately vertically arranged, such that the anisotropic devices transmit light having perpendicular polarizations; and a display panel forming an image by modulating incident light.
