  • Patent number: 8238024
    Abstract: An arrangement for the display of images with selectable three-dimensionally visible or two-dimensional modes, including an illuminating device a filter array to impart a structure to the light a diffusing layer, and a transmissive image display device, with a variable distance a between the filter array and the diffusing layer, so that in a first position, the structure imparted by the filter array is essentially cancelled due to the light diffusion effect of the diffusing layer, and a two-dimensional image is shown, and the structure imparted by the filter array is essentially not cancelled, so that the image display device shows a three-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 8169381
    Abstract: The invention relates to arrangements for spatial display, and in particular to such arrangements that, by means of wavelength or gray level filter arrays, present an image visible in three dimensions to one or several observers without the use of auxiliary aids such as glasses. In such arrangements, an increased brightness of the 3D display is achieved by means of the arrangement of transparent filters on the filter array according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20110285698
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and arrangements for unaided three-dimensionally recognizable representation by a method for three-dimensionally recognizable representation, in which individual image elements (?ij) are simultaneously made visible, the image elements (?ij) reproducing partial information from several views (Ak (k=1 . . . n)) of the scene/object. Directions of propagation are predefined for the light emitted by the image elements (?ij) with the aid of a structural plate. For this purpose, the structural plate includes a plurality of optical elements that are arranged in sequences. According to the invention, the mean geometrical distance (p?) between two adjacent sequences of light-transmitting optical elements on the structural plate meets the condition p?=p, wherein p=G*sin (0.017 degrees), G representing four times the diagonal length of the image element (?ij) PO raster.

  • Publication number: 20100217458
    Abstract: An interactive information system is indicated for an aircraft to provide passengers with information, which access both an onboard data storage device and an off-board data storage device. A computer uses the onboard and off-board data to compute informative data, which are then visualized to the passenger. The passenger can interactively determine the form and type of data generation and preparation at any time.
