Abstract: An optical imaging system and related 3D display apparatus for forming different perspective views of a 3-dimensional image by transforming optical beams emanating from pixels located on a display pixel surface displaying 2-dimensional patterns and projecting the transformed optical beams in a field of view is disclosed herein. The optical imaging system comprises: an array of selecting light guide elements for reducing a radiating aperture of each pixel; a lens array of converging micro-lenses; a displacement mechanism for moving the lens array relative to the array of light guide elements in a respective plane; and a sensor system for sensing the position of the lens array relative to the array of light guide elements. The lens array together with the array of light guide elements are configured to provide at least one viewing zone in the field of view and form respective perspective views in each viewing zone by projecting therein the transformed optical beams.

The present invention is based on generating directional optical beams, transforming these optical beams and projecting transformed optical beams in a field of view to thereby divide the field of view into one or more adjustable viewing zones and to form 2-dimensional (2D) images or perspective views of a 3-dimensional (3D) image of an object or scene therein. The present invention is embodied in the switchable optical imaging system and the 3D/2D image switchable apparatus using the same system.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multiview 3-dimentional display for sequentially projecting high number of 2-dimensional images of aspect angles of objects (scenes) into the wide field of view (apparatus) for producing their 3-dimentional images. The 3D image is perceived with great depth, provides comfortable conditions for its viewing without eye strain. The viewing of such 3D image also does not require using any supplementary means such as glasses or tracking devices, does not limit the position of the viewer in the field of view. This allows viewing the 3D image by many viewers simultaneously. The 3D display of the present invention can be used in computer and TV systems for transforming 2-dimentional images of aspect angles of virtual and real, static and moving 3D objects into corresponding signals and transmitting said signals for reproducing 2-dimentional by 3D display.

Abstract: This invention enables the construction of equipment for reproduction of static and moving (live) 3-dimensional stereo representations (3-dimensional display), and is capable of recording and transmitting stereo representations of 3-dimensional objects (scenes). The equipment of the present invention provides to the user comfortable conditions for viewing a volumetric representation without eye strain. The viewing of such 3-dimensional images does not require the use of any supplementary means such as glasses, does not drastically limit the position of the viewer with respect to the display, and allows simultaneous viewing of the 3-dimensional display by many viewers from a sufficiently wide field of view.
