Abstract: The method and apparatus of the invention pertains to a simultaneously modulated light beam carrying the information of a three-dimensional image is directed to pixels (image points) defining a first light emitting surface, a component of the light beam is emitted from the pixels within a predetermined angle of view (field of view) in the different view directions, with an intensity corresponding to the three-dimensional image, the modulated light beams are directed to the pixels from different entry angles, depending on the emitting angles within the angle of view, wherein the light beams modulated corresponding to the different directions are directed to the pixels of the first light emitting surface from one or more light emitting points of a second light emitting surface, the second light emitting surface being spaced apart with a predetermined distance from the first light emitting surface.
