Two-way multi-view 2-D/3-D display combining LC lens and HVxDP panel using novel pixel arrangement

Abstract

-We have developed a two-way multi-view 2-D/3-D display combining a liquid crystal lens and horizontally and vertically x times-density pixels (HVxDP) arrangement. The two-way multi-view display features the same display resolution in 2-D and 3-D modes and a quite small color moiré for landscape and portrait, respectively, when using the HVxDP arrangement. In this paper, we realized suitable 3-D properties for achieving a good balance between 3-D moiré and 3-D crosstalk for landscape and portrait by a two-way liquid crystal lens with two kinds of focal lengths for the edge part and the center part of the lens.

83‐1: Invited Paper: Development of Liquid Crystal Lenses for 3D Displays

“…Figure 3 illustrates the HxDP arrangement for six viewpoints. HVxDP is derived from HxDP for two-way multiview 2D/3D displays [5,6]. Figure 4 shows the HVxDP arrangement, featuring pixels comprising 4 × 4 subpixels of four primary (RGBW) colors.…”

P‐12.9: A Switchable Liquid Crystal Microlens Between 1D and 2D Arrays

“…In order to cope with different application environments, some multi-functional LC such as switchable LC lens between positive and negative [16][17][18], rotatable LC lenses [19][20][21][22], LC lenses with switchable optical aperture [18,24], polarizer-free and fast response LC lens used blue liquid crystal (BPLC) [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] have been proposed. Among them, a rotatable LC lens is particularly promising because it can achieve the image switchable function for landscape and portrait, which is very important for handheld electronic equipments such as tablet computers or mobile phones.…”

“…No matter what method is used, the basic principle of the above mentioned landscape/portrait dual mode LC lens are the onedimensional cylindrical lenses [19][20][21][22]. Thus, the parallax is only generates in one direction, the viewing angle of the 3D display is limited.…”
