Abstract
Conventional compressive light field (CLF) displays reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) scenes generally use stacked liquid crystal displays (LCDs). However, the low transmittance of LCD limits the number of stacked layers (usually three) and the image quality. In this paper, the realization of the CLF display with multi-plane projection is proposed by using polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (PSCT) shutter and digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs). Benefitting from high transmittance (>80%) and fast response time (≤1ms) of PSCT shutter, the proposed system provides an opportunity to increase the number of physically stacked layers while preserving high brightness, which could achieve a large depth of field (DOF) and high-fidelity 3D image. Limited by the maximum refresh rate of DMD, the relationship between the gray scale and the layered number is analyzed and optimized to minimize the deviation between reconstructed light field and target light field. To improve the quality of reconstruction, the chromatic aberration due to the wavelength of incident light is investigated and compensated. In addition, the three-dimensional matrix mapping method is presented to convert decomposed images into binary images efficiently, which realizes the high-speed and real-time processing of massive display data. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, a prototype was implemented and photographs were captured from different viewpoints. With the experimental results, the system was confirmed to have a potential for both 3D display and augmented reality (AR) applications.
