Claim 14:
15. A method for controlling a display device comprising a lenticular layer and a color filter, the lenticular layer comprising (i) a first side, (ii) a second side opposite the first side, and (iii) particles in a fluid medium between the first and second sides of the lenticular layer, the second side of the lenticular layer comprising lens elements forming a lenticular array, the method comprising:
at least one of:
moving the particles within the fluid medium such that the lens elements are filled with the particles in a first mode; or
moving the particles within the fluid medium such that the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in a second mode;

adjusting a shape of the lens elements using an actuating force on the lenticular layer;
shifting the color filter in relation to the lenticular layer along a specified axis that is perpendicular to a direction of the lenticular layer from the color filter;
operating the display device as a directional display in one of the first and second modes and as a single display in another of the first and second modes; and
operating the display device in a third mode as a hybrid display in which a first portion of the display device has a lensing effect enabled and a second portion of the display device has the lensing effect disabled.
