Solution Overview

Problem

Current naked-eye 3D display devices suffer from inadequate 3D display effects, particularly due to limitations in light diffusion and optical simulation, which affect viewing angle and stereoscopic perception.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a cover plate with recessed dot regions, a display module with a reverse prism sheet between the display panel and naked-eye 3D grating, and a backlight module with multiple light bars to enhance light diffusion and optical simulation, improving the 3D display effect.

Solution Approach 1:

A reverse prism sheet is introduced as an intermediary optical element between the display panel and the naked-eye 3D grating. This prism sheet diverges the light emitted from the display panel before it reaches the grating, enhancing the optical simulation effect and improving the 3D display quality while maintaining the glasses-free viewing advantage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the optical parameters of the light path by introducing the reverse prism sheet with specific refractive index and geometric parameters. This modifies the light divergence angle and optical path length, thereby enhancing the stereoscopic effect without requiring special glasses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If light diffusion is enhanced to improve viewing angle, then the 3D display effect is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
