Publication number: 20220317465Abstract: A method for rendering data of a three-dimensional image adapted to an eye position and a display system are provided. The method is used to render the three-dimensional image to be displayed in a three-dimensional space. In the method, a three-dimensional image data used to describe the three-dimensional image is obtained. The eye position of a user is detected. The ray-tracing information between the eye position and each lens unit of a multi-optical element module forms a region of visibility (RoV) that may cover a portion of the three-dimensional image in the three-dimensional space. When coordinating the physical characteristics of a display panel and the multi-optical element module, a plurality of elemental images can be obtained. The elemental images form an integral image that records the three-dimensional image data adapted to the eye position, and the integral image is used to reconstruct the three-dimensional image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: CHUN-HSIANG YANG, CHIH-HUNG TING, KAI-CHIEH CHANG, HSIN-YOU HOU, CHIH-WEI SHIH, WEI-AN CHEN, KUAN-YU CHEN

Patent number: 11287669Abstract: An integrated image display device includes a display unit, a lens array layer, and a baffle assembly. The baffle assembly includes a first baffle layer and a second baffle layer. The first baffle layer includes a plurality of first baffles, and a first transmission portion is formed between each two adjacent ones of the first baffles. The second baffle layer includes a plurality of second baffles, and a second transmission portion is formed between each two adjacent ones of the second baffles. Portions of the first transmission portions overlapped with the second transmission portions form a plurality of light transmission units. An un-reconstructed image displayed by the display surface can be reconstructed by the lens array layer, and be recombined into an integrated image to form a stereo image.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Lixel Inc.Inventors: Chun-Hsiang Yang, Chih-Hung Ting, Kai-Chieh Chang, Jui-Yi Wu, Hsin-You Hou, Ting-Ru Lin

Publication number: 20210352264Abstract: An integrated stereo image display device includes a display unit, a lens array layer, and a gradient transmittance mask. The gradient transmittance mask includes a plurality of mask units, and the mask units have a gradient transmittance. An un-reconstructed image displayed by a display surface of the display unit can be reorganized and reconstructed as an integrated image to form a stereo image by the lens array layer. The gradient transmittance mask is able to provide even brightness distribution after imaging. As a result, the image would be without a grid-like appearance, and the quality of the viewing experience for a user is therefore improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: CHUN-HSIANG YANG, CHIH-HUNG TING, KAI-CHIEH CHANG, JUI-YI WU, HSIN-YOU HOU
