Publication number: 20150015685Abstract: A single pixel of a video display can display respective individual pixels of multiple views. In other words, a video display can include more views for an autostereoscopic image than the physical pixels of the video display would ordinarily support. The physical pixel is time-multiplexed in that the physical pixel displays a pixel of one view for a given time interval and a view multiplexer deflects the light from the physical pixel by a predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the view. In another time interval, the physical pixel displays a pixel of a different view and the view multiplexer deflects light from the physical pixel by a different predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the different view.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2010Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: SOLIDDD CORP.Inventor: Richard A.

Publication number: 20150015946Abstract: An autostereoscopic display provides an extremely deep projection area by observing a relationship between a desired depth of projection and an autostereoscopic display design that includes a focal length of lenticles of a lenticular array and a number of views. The relationship specifies a projected depth at which lenticular crossover can occur for a given autostereoscopic with the specific lenticular focal length and number of views. Approximations can be used to simplify the relationship such that the projected depth is directly related to a product of the focal length and the number of views. To reduce optical aberrations, lenticles of the lenticular array include meniscus-cylinder lenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2012Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: SOLIDDD CORP.Inventor: Richard A.

Publication number: 20150002932Abstract: Invention relates to lenticular sheets made of thermally or chemically hardened mineral glass used for decorative panels, to create three-dimensional visual effects combined with an encoded image. One of the advantages of invention is the fact that it is a proposed mineral lenticular sheet, which underwent chemical or mechanical hardening of its outer parts 18. This increases the mechanical strength and impact resistance. This aspect makes it safer for use under the influence of external factors and in contact with a person. This allows for applying the invention in large scopes in comparison with plastic lenticular screens. Pre-stressing is achieved by thermal or chemical hardening.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Denys Bityutskyy, Andrii Karlov, Ievegen Viunskovskyi, Roman Kulniev
