P‐8.3: Integral Imaging Display System with Enhanced Viewing Angle

Abstract

A simple but effective method for increasing the viewing angle of the integral imaging system was proposed. Unlike the existing methods, the viewing angle was extended through the fully effective utilization of the pixels within the elemental image array rather than the modifications to the system structures or the importing of extra devices. The relationships between the pixel positions and the viewing zone distributions were analyzed, the algorithm model for replacing the invalid pixels was built and then a method for generating full‐effective‐pixel elemental image array (FEP‐EIA) was proposed. Experiment results demonstrated that the viewing angle of the integral imaging system was significantly increased with the proposed method.
