Abstract
In this paper, an autostereoscopic display system based on a time-multiplexed directional backlight using a large aperture Fresnel lens is proposed. High-resolution stereoscopy for multiple viewers positioned at different distances from the screen is achieved in the proposed system by layering polymer dispersed liquid crystal screens behind the Fresnel lens. The screens with segmented electrodes are electrically controlled to change the position of light diffusion, while the time-multiplexed backlight is projected by a digital mirror device projector at a high refresh rate. The light is diffused at the conjugate focal points of the observers’ eyes to deliver directional light to each eye. The right-eye image and the left-eye image are alternated on the LCD panel in front of the lens to synchronize with the backlight.
