Abstract: Methods and systems are described for use of a barrier grid to enable the perception of three-dimensional (3D) content from inherently two-dimensional (2D) captured images. When viewing the captured image as a photograph, transparency or image displayed on an electronic display such as LCD, plasma, or DLP, a spacer and a barrier grid with vertical lines is placed in front of the display the barrier grid separates the horizontally displaced components of the image and directs the separated components to the left and/or right eye. Similarly, the image can be provided by a rear-projector screen, in which the image was stored and displayed digitally, photographically, or rendered by a computer device. The disparity contained in the horizontal displacement is perceived as depth information in the human brain. The result is that the perceived image is a three-dimensional representation of the actual depth information contained in the scene.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide devices, systems and methods that enable viewing of three-dimensional images on an autostereoscopic display using a barrier grid of dynamically configurable grid characteristics. The barrier grid is configurable to include alternating light-transmitting and light-blocking portions that may be characterized by and configured using a set of one or more grid indicia. The cooperative display of an image on an image display device and the dynamically configurable barrier grid enables autostereoscopic 3D and 4D viewing of images.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, the color resolution of a first image display screen is increased by assembling the first display screen with a second image display screen in an overlaid manner. Transmissive color filter elements are provided associated with addressable sub-pixels of the display screens. A first set of sub-pixels of the first screen and a second set of sub-pixels of the second screen are cooperatively addressed to display an image pixel of the display assembly, where the first set of sub-pixels addressed is spatially offset from the second set of sub-pixels addressed along the planar surfaces of the display screens. The exemplary display assembly formed by the display screens thereby enables the use of more than three colors to define a broadened color space relative to that defined by the display screens separately.
