Abstract: Techniques of crosstalk compensation include performing a crosstalk measurement operation on each of a plurality of cells of a display to produce a plurality of crosstalk measurement, and then in response to detecting an observer in a field of view (FOV) of the display, performing a crosstalk compensation operation on each of the plurality of cells to reduce crosstalk to below a perceptual threshold of the observer. Each cell produces luminance over a series of repeat zones, with each repeat zone being a left or right channel and the repeat zones alternating these channels. A computer may measure the crosstalk by analyzing the values of the luminance over phase within each repeat zone. In some implementations, each cell is associated with a lookup table of crosstalk values. When an observer is detected in the FOV of the display, the computer performs a crosstalk compensation operation using the measured luminance values.
