Multi-view autostereoscopic 3D display

Abstract

As the next generation video display technique after 2D display based on DTV/HDTV, multi-view autostereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display has been one of the most popular research issues in the world. And 3D displays are classified into two types: stereoscopic 3D display and autostereoscopic 3D display. The former includes head mount system, anaglyph system, polarized filter system, field sequential system and so on. The latter is also called true 3D display, it provides 3D perception without the need for special glasses or other head gear. In this paper we research on the multi-view autostereoscopic 3D display. Focusing on the multi-view stereoscopic 3D key technologies, the latest international development trends and existing problems is analyzed. Meanwhile a solution for implementing we designed an autostereoscopic multi-view 3D display that has pivot function, in this 3D display several viewers without wearing eyeglass can see 3D stereo images on the prototype of the display.
