  • Publication number: 20120249968
    Abstract: A light beam projected from a projector passes through a microlens and then is focused on an extremely small region (hereinafter, will be called a deflection point). After that, the light beam is diverged as a directional light beam from the region serving as the deflection point. Thus, a viewer of a stereoscopic display perceives light beams as extremely small pixels. In reality, the deflection points are largely spaced, so that a rough image is perceived by a viewer who observes a screen. An autostereoscopic display including a two-dimensional image display device and an optical element, the optical element having a structure that simultaneously diffuses and deflects light emitted from the two-dimensional image display device, so that a stereoscopic image is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20120069435
    Abstract: By installing a diffuser between a group of projectors and lenses to spread light rays from the projector group, it is possible to provide pixels with such sizes as to give perception that pixels are adjacent to each other. As a result, smooth representation of images and video display with a high stereoscopic effect are made possible.

  • Patent number: 8115706
    Abstract: The present invention represents an object with high-quality texture. A texture image display apparatus includes: a panel display device (20) having a plurality of pixels (21); a lens array (30) having a plurality of lenses for controlling outgoing directions of light outputted from the pixels (21); a pixel data generation part (14) for generating pixel data for each pixel; and a panel driving circuit 15 for driving the panel display device (20) on the basis of the pixel data. One lens (31) is provided for a plurality of adjacent pixels (21), and directs light outputted from these adjacent pixels (21) in directions different from one another. For each pixel (21), the pixel data generation part (14) generates pixel data of different image brightness levels depending on outgoing direction of light, for the same image point in displayed content.

  • Patent number: 7583307
    Abstract: In a stereoscopic display system, comprising a display and a lens array, it is difficult to manufacture the lens array with lens spacing at high accuracy as designed, and it is also difficult to attain high installation accuracy when the display and the lens array are combined together. An image of a stereoscopic display 27 with a display 1 and a lens array 2 integrated with each other is taken by a camera 3, and a positional relation of each pixel of the display 1 and each lens center of the lens array 2 is determined by a measuring system 4. Based on the matching positional relation information of the lenses and the pixels thus acquired, a stereoscopic image generating/outputting system 12 generates a stereoscopic image and supplies the image to the stereoscopic display 27.
