  • Patent number: 9497449
    Abstract: A monitor for representing autostereoscopically, three-dimensionally perceivable pictures includes a matrix screen with a multitude of subpixels which are arranged in lines and columns and which may be changed in their illumination intensity and may be put together into a multitude of picture points, a control device for activating the subpixels in dependence on picture information of at least two stereoscopic fields, in a manner such that the picture points are divided in at least two subgroups for reproducing in each case one of the fields, and a barrier raster, with which light coming from the picture points of each of the subgroups may be led into in each case one of several observation zones which lie in a laterally displaced manner, said one of several observation zones being assigned to this subgroup by way of this.

  • Patent number: 8441522
    Abstract: A method for the autostereoscopic representation of image information on a matrix screen on which image points are formed through a subpixel group, each with a plurality of subpixels, wherein two stereoscopic fields are imaged on one of two subgroups of the image points, and wherein light emanating from the two subgroups of image points is guided through a barrier raster into two adjacent viewing zones, and wherein a change of the viewer's head position is further detected, and activation of the subpixels is adapted to the change of the head position by shifting intensity centroids, in particular, within the image points upon a change in the viewing distance between the head position and matrix screen by adapting of weightings of intensities within the image points such that a lateral distance between the centroid of the intensity distributions in a left viewing zone and the centroid of the intensity distributions in a right viewing zone in a viewing plane remains constant.

  • Publication number: 20120057132
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for projecting images, comprising an optical element serving as projection surface and at least one projector (1, 1?) at a spacing from the projection surface by a projection spacing (S1) for projecting respectively an image onto the projection surface, the optical element being designed such that light emanating from the projector (1, 1?) is directed into a spatially delimited viewing zone (6, 6?) which is consequently assigned unequivocally to this projector (1, 1?), a viewing zone (6, 6?) being defined as the region from which the image projected by the projector (1, 1?) to which this viewing zone (6, 6?) is assigned is completely visible, and a viewing plane being definable as a plane which is at a spacing from the projection surface by a viewing spacing (S2) and in which a width of the viewing zone (6, 6?) is maximum.

  • Publication number: 20120026164
    Abstract: An auto stereoscopic image display device, comprising a screen with a plurality of subpixels, a first parallax barrier and a second parallax barrier which differs from the first parallax barrier by a different slot spacing. The display device is switchable between a first mode being a multi-views 3D mode (multi-users 3D mode) in which the first parallax barrier is activated while the second parallax barrier is deactivated and a second mode being a two-views 3D mode (single-user 3D mode) in which the first parallax barrier is deactivated while the second parallax barrier is activated.

  • Publication number: 20090040196
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the display of various data on a dual view screen in a vehicle in which the line of view of a driver is continually monitored and which in response to the driver directing his line of view to the screen, renders visible to him data relevant to the operation of the vehicle while optionally rendering invisible data not relevant to the operation of the vehicle otherwise viewable only by a passenger.
