Multi-view Three-Dimensional Display Using Polarizer Slit

Abstract

The parallax barrier display system has excellent characteristics. For example, no special glasses are required. However, a conventional multi-view parallax barrier display system has disadvantages such that the resolution of each of the stereo images is reduced only horizontally. This paper describes a 4-view display with a parallax polarizer slit and cylindrical lenses. The advantage of proposed method lies in its ability to distribute resolution problem both to the horizontal and the vertical planes, then this three-dimensional (3-D) display avoids the horizontal resolution problem of conventional system.
