Autostereoscopic optical apparatus

a display apparatus and autostereoscopic technology, applied in optics, electrical devices, instruments, etc., can solve the problems of time-based multiplexing, introducing the inherent problem of image flicker, and not compensating for these inherent drawbacks, so as to improve viewing pupil size, reduce lagrange invariant constraints on available luminance, and increase imaging display

Abstract

An autostereoscopic optical apparatus (10) for viewing a stereoscopic virtual image comprises a left image to be viewed by an observer (12) at a left viewing pupil (14l) and a right image to be viewed by the observer at a right viewing pupil (14r). The apparatus comprises a left pupil imaging system for forming the left image. A right pupil imaging system forms the right image.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10 / 662,208, filed Sep. 12, 2003, entitled AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC OPTICAL APPARATUS, by Cobb et al.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention generally relates to display apparatus and more particularly relates to an autostereoscopic display apparatus providing a wide field of view, large viewing pupils, and high brightness. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The potential value of autostereoscopic display systems is well appreciated for a broad range of data visualization uses and for a wide range of applications that include entertainment, engineering, medical, government, security, and simulation fields. Autostereoscopic display systems include “immersion” systems, intended to provide a realistic viewing experience for an observer by visually surrounding the observer with a three-dimensional (3-D) image having a very wide field of view. As differentiated from the larger group of stere...
