Claim 0:
1. A spatial image cluster for a vehicle comprising:
a display configured to output a 2D image; and
a spatial image panel disposed in front of the display and configured to selectively output the 2D image as a 3D image, the spatial image panel comprising:
a first lens array disposed adjacent to the display and comprising a plurality of first lenses arranged on a same plane;
a second lens array comprising a plurality of second lenses having a same arrangement as the plurality of first lenses of the first lens array such that respective lenses of the plurality of first lenses and the plurality of second lenses are correspondingly aligned;
a refractive medium configured to be disposed between the first lens array and the second lens array; and
a switching layer, wherein voltages applied to the switching layer are controllable to change refraction directions of light transmitted by the spatial image panel to selectively output different portions of the 2D image as 2D or 3D,
wherein the switching layer is embedded in the first lens array and is configured to change a refraction direction of transmitted light according to the applied voltage.
