3-D Display Devices Using LCDs and HOEs : System Development and Application to Holographic Stereogram

Abstract

A display system requiring observers to have no special glasses is useful for 3-D images. The authors have researched real-time 4-view and 32-view holographic stereogram displays using a holographic screen. These simple display systems present stereoscopic 3-D images, but the quality of the images is poor because of the lack of usable pixels. This paper shows that this problem can be solved by using multiple LCD panels and describes the results of a fundamental study on a stereo display system using multiple panels. In addition, we propose a stereogram synthesizer using this newly developed 3-D display system.
