Described herein are system and methods to improve the image quality of a multiview image. In some embodiments a zero disparity plane image is generated based on a view of a multiview by identifying portions of the multiview image that correspond to the zero disparity plane. The zero disparity plane image and view images of the multiview image may be transmitted to a time-multiplexed display. The time-multiplexed display may operate according to a two-dimensional (2D) mode and a multiview mode. The time-multiplexed display may be configured to display the zero disparity plane image and the view images as a composite image.

An augmented reality display system is configured to direct a plurality of parallactically-disparate intra-pupil images into a viewer's eye. The parallactically-disparate intra-pupil images provide different parallax views of a virtual object, and impinge on the pupil from different angles. In the aggregate, the wavefronts of light forming the images approximate a continuous divergent wavefront and provide selectable accommodation cues for the user, depending on the amount of parallax disparity between the intra-pupil images. The amount of parallax disparity is selected using a light source that outputs light for different images from different locations, with spatial differences in the locations of the light output providing differences in the paths that the light takes to the eye, which in turn provide different amounts of parallax disparity. Advantageously, the wavefront divergence, and the accommodation cue provided to the eye of the user, may be varied by appropriate selection of parallax disparity, which may be set by selecting the amount of spatial separation between the locations of light output.

An adjustment device includes a wearable electronic device and a case in which the wearable electronic device is disposed (e.g., seated). The wearable electronic device includes displays (e.g., display apparatuses) which display virtual images for a left eye and a right eye of a user, screen display portions which transmit light sources generated by the displays to the left eye and the right eye, and eye tracking cameras for the left eye and the right eye. The case includes a stator which fixes the wearable electronic device, and a focal lens which is disposed within an eye relief of the fixed wearable electronic device and forms each of images of the virtual images output from the screen display portions of the wearable electronic device on a portion of the case.

A virtual 3D display for a motor vehicle includes a substrate and a flexible display positioned on the substrate. The flexible display has two foldable sections and a main section. The main section provides a shared viewing area and each of the foldable sections provides a first and a second independent viewing area.

A volumetric display capable of high-speed image presentation includes a resonance-type liquid lens having a focal length that is periodically adjusted using resonance of a liquid. An image projector projects an image toward a viewpoint position of a user via the resonance-type liquid lens. Further, the image projector projects an image toward the viewpoint position within a shorter time period than one-tenth of a variation cycle of the focal length. The image projector includes an LED and a DMD, for example.
