  • Methods and system for performing color filter offsets in order to reduce moire interference in a display system including multiple displays
    Patent number: 10642063
    Abstract: A multi-display system (e.g., a display including multiple display panels) includes at least first and second displays (e.g., display panels or display layers) arranged substantially parallel to each other in order to display three-dimensional (3D) features to a viewer(s). The first and second displays have different color filter patterns, respectively, as viewed from a point of view of a viewer of the display device, in order to reduce moiré interference.
