Floating Autostereoscopic 3D Display with Variable Viewing Area for Multi-View Teleconference System

Abstract

We have developed a high-resolution floating autostereoscopic 3D display with variable viewing area based on the iris-plane dividing technology for a multi-view teleconference system. We fabricated two light diffusion layers in a single film by using two UV irradiation technique and realized high polarization maintenance of 99.78%, high resolution over 50 lp/mm, low crosstalk noise less than 0.14% and achieves high quality 3D images in real space. In addition, we confirmed our 3D display has capability to control the angle of border between right and left viewing zones by the liquid crystal optical shutter. Our floating 3D display system allows glassless and provides high-resolution 3D images with no crosstalk between left and right viewing zones. Therefore, this 3D display system is promising for the future high-presence interactive communication systems.
