An autostereoscopic display system includes a display including a plurality of addressable pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels includes two or more sub-pixels. The display is adapted to have n views in the horizontal direction wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2. A native pixel density of the display in the horizontal direction divided by n is greater than 75% of a native pixel density in the vertical direction. The system further includes a view selector that, for each of two or more viewing perspectives, makes one of the views visible and a multiplexer system in operative connection with the display. The multiplexer system is adapted to controllably shift light horizontally from at least one of the plurality of pixels.

A method for generating additional views from a stereo image defined by a left eye image and a right eye image. The method includes receiving as input at least one stereo image. The method includes, for each of the stereo images, generating a plurality of additional images. The method includes interlacing the additional images for each of the stereo images to generate three dimensional (3D) content made up of multiple views of the scenes presented by each of the stereo images. The interlacing may be performed such that the generated 3D content is displayable on a 3D display device including a barrier grid or a lenticular lens array on the monitor screen. The additional images may include 12 to 40 or more frames providing views of the one or more scenes from differing viewing angles than provided by the left and right cameras used to generate the original stereo image.

An image display device includes: an image display unit (100) that displays a plurality of parallax images corresponding to the number of view points for stereoscopic viewing on a screen of a display panel (100a); a parallax barrier (101) that is arranged facing the screen, and performs optical separation of the displayed parallax images; and an adaptive pitch adjustment unit (103) that adjusts, for each of regions of the display panel (100a), perform adjustment on a pitch of the parallax barrier (101) corresponding to the region in accordance with an amount of distortion of the display panel (100a) in the region.

A multiview display includes an array of light valves having rows of a repeating plurality of color sub-pixels and arranged as a plurality of multiview pixels configured to modulate directional light beams as color pixels of views of a multiview image. A first row of the repeating plurality of color sub-pixels is offset from a second row of the repeating plurality of color sub-pixels in a row direction by an integer multiple of a width of a color sub-pixel. The offset of the first and second rows is configured to provide corresponding color sub-pixels in adjacent multiview pixels having different colors to mitigate color fringing associated with the color pixel of the multiview image.

Systems and methods provide a retro-reflective screen covered with a screen material. The retro-reflective screen has a plurality of retro-reflective screen elements positioned within the screen material. At least one of the plurality of retro-reflective screen elements is oriented so as to have an incident angle that is less than 45 degrees. Additionally, a portion of the screen material that corresponds to the at least one screen element has an incident angle that is greater than the incident angle of the at least one screen element. Additionally, the system also comprises at least one projector that (i) generates light characterizing an image or video and (ii) projects the light onto the retro-reflective screen.

A method for autostereoscopic display of an autostereoscopic image with N points of view of rank between 1 and N—in an ascending order from right to left—on a screen having pixels arranged in rows and in columns, said pixels consisting of a plurality of subpixels of different colors (R, G, B), wherein said screen is arranged with its largest dimension in the vertical direction so that the subpixels forming each pixel are arranged in said vertical direction, and each column of the screen is filled with blocks of at least three subpixels corresponding to a set of subpixels of one of the points of view of the image to be displayed, separated by blocks of one or more subpixels that are off or darkened.

Techniques for selecting a view of a video are described for videos having multiple views of a real-world scene that are captured simultaneously. When playback of a video is initiated, an object of interest is identified and tracked by automatically switching between multiple views of the video in order to maintain the object in view within a viewport as the object moves between the multiple views. A user input may be received at a scrub bar of the viewport, prompting generation of a thumbnail preview of the video based on a selected view of the video and a time of the video relating to the user input. The correction may be based on a view that is currently displayed in the viewport.

A display device including: an image display section in which unit pixels each composed of a plurality of sub-pixels corresponding to a plurality of colors are arranged; and an optical element having a window section allocating light emitted from the image display section in units of the sub-pixels to a plurality of viewpoints, wherein a color arrangement of the sub-pixels of the image display section or an arrangement of the window section of the optical element is set such that, when the image display section is viewed from each of the plurality of viewpoints, in an arrangement of colors of light allocated by the window section of the optical element, a same color is not arranged linearly in a predetermined number of sub-pixels or more in succession in any of a row direction, a column direction, and an oblique direction.

Embodiments include 3D display devices and methods of operation. In an example device, a light-emitting layer is provided with an addressable array of light-emitting elements. An optical layer overlays the light-emitting layer. The optical layer includes an array of lenses operative to substantially collimate light from the light-emitting layer. To suppress stay light, an angular filter layer is provided along an optical path from the light-emitting layer to an exterior of the display. The angular filter is operative to substantially block light having an incident angle greater than a threshold angle and to substantially transmit light having an incident angle less than a threshold angle. The angular filter may be a thin-film interference bandpass filter. Different regions of the angular filter may be tuned for different wavelengths of light.

A multiview image display device is disclosed. The multiview image display device comprises: an image input unit for receiving an image; a rendering unit for rendering a plurality of views of different visual views on the basis of the depth of the inputted image; a display unit for displaying a multiview image generated on the basis of a pixel value constituting the plurality of views; and a control unit for generating the multiview image by mapping, to at least one target pixel area, a mixed pixel value obtained based on the pixel value of a specific visual view and the pixel value of a visual view adjacent to the specific visual view among the plurality of views.
