Abstract
In this paper, we propose a super multi-view (SMV) 3-D display system using a vibrating scanner array (ViSA). The parallel beam scanning using a vibrating scanner array is performed by moving back and forth an array of curvature-compensated mirrors attached to two vibrating membranes. The parallel laser beam scanner array can replace the polygon mirror scanner which has been used in the SMV 3-D display system based on the focused light array(FLA) concept. The proposed system has great advantages in the sense that it requires neither huge imaging optics normechanical scanning parts. Some mathematical analyses and fundamental limitations of the proposed system are presented. The proposed vibrating scanner array, after some modifications and refinements, will replace polygon mirror-based scanners in the near future.
