Abstract: A method for autostereoscopically producing three-dimensional image information from scanned subpixel extracts uses a multiplex track method (MTV) having a separating raster (TR) obliquely extended with respect to a matrix screen (MB) and an electronic tracking (TS) of viewing areas ibased on two separated image views (L, R), that adjacently disposes two or three subpixels (SP) of each pixel (P) of the two image views (L, R) in the actual subpixel extraction (SPA), continuously and alternatingly preserving each subpixel address and disposes said subpixels (SP) in an overlapping manner on each other with an offset, whereby the resolution loss effects the subpixels (SP) only. The crosstalk resulting from the inclination of the separating raster (TR) is reduced by a special structure of the subpixel extraction (SPA), wherein the resolution homogenisation in two directions of the screen is simultaneously preserved.

Abstract: Known image display appliances with relatively large appliance depth have parallel lens plates with rotation-symmetrical microlenses, wherein a real stereo image could be made visible directly using a matt screen by way of the microlenses optically imaging the non-inverted, non-rastered image information. Known image display appliances with a cylinder lens plate, the cylinder lenses of which image linearly, have hitherto not been used to produce a floating real stereo image.

Abstract: For continuous tracking without noticeable skips during physical changes in head position, the intensities of all subpixels of the matrix screen are reduced in order to form intensity focuses for subpixel groups behind barrier elements, which comprise a number n of subpixels, including a subpixel reserve, in the image lines. In the case of parallel alterations, these intensity focuses are then displaced by a constant absolute value continuously through directly adjacent subpixels and also through subpixel group boundaries with different stereo image views. Distance changes involve the intensity focuses being increasingly widened or compressed relative to the screen edges. The intensities of the individual subpixels can be altered by means of simple multiplication by standardized constant or variable intensity factors which can be ascertained as a function of motion.
