Dual-view one-dimensional integral imaging 3D display using a barrier array

Abstract

We propose a dual-view one-dimensional integral imaging 3D display using a barrier array. It is composed of an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a barrier array and a liquid crystal panel. The OLED and the liquid crystal panel are used to present an element image array and a parallax barrier. The barrier is located at the middle of adjacent slits. The gap between adjacent barriers is equal to the pitch of the slit. The element image array consists of the left and right elemental images which are alternately arranged. The left and right elemental images located between adjacent barriers are only modulated by the corresponding slit between those. A prototype is developed, and the viewing ranges of the left and right viewing zones are increased along with the increase of the viewing distance.
