3‐D displays — Technologies and testing methods

Abstract

This paper is a review of stereoscopic 3-D display technologies and testing methods. The first part addresses the different 3-D displays with focus on technologies. It gives both a background and the logic to group the technologies into categories. A family-tree chart summarizes the technology map. This categorization allows for logical grouping of test methods. The second part is a summary of testing procedures developed as part of the ICDM (International Committee for Display Metrology) standards group, affiliated with SID (Society of Information Display). Definitions to key test parameters pertinent to the evaluation of stereoscopic 3-D displays including formulae development will be presented. This review paper can serve as an introduction to the 3-D & Stereoscopic Displays chapter of the IDMS (Information Display Measurement Standard) version 1.0 that will be issued by the ICDM group later this year. The IDMS v1.0 will be the successor of the FPDM-2 from VESA.

Influence of depth and 3D crosstalk on blur in multi‐view 3D displays

“…3D crosstalk of autostereoscopic multi‐view 3D display was defined similar to that of 3D display using eyeglass. The definition of multi‐view 3D assumes that image of one view is equivalent to the intended image and images of all other views are equivalent to the unintended image . For some of multi‐view 3D display of large view number, 3D crosstalk was reported to be larger than a few hundred percent .…”

Hidden image display which required the special eyeglass for the viewer to observe the hidden image

“…There had been researches for the various 3D technologies . Among these, 3D technologies using the special eyeglass became commercially successful for 3D TV and 3D movie.…”

A crosstalk model and its application to stereoscopic and autostereoscopic displays

“…Table summarizes the key measurement items and availability of test procedures . Among them, the prior papers have presented how to derive the 3D luminance and 3D contrast by using our proposed equation . Table shows that most of the items are related to the crosstalk issue and illustrated that the crosstalk issue is the basis of 3D metrology.…”
