Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a display device comprising:
a lenticular layer, 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; and
a color filter configured to shift in relation to the lenticular layer along a specified axis that is perpendicular to a direction of the lenticular layer from the color filter; and

at least one processor configured to selectively control whether the display device operates in a first mode, a second mode, or a third mode;
wherein the particles of the lenticular layer are configured to move within the fluid medium such that (i) the lens elements are filled with the particles in the first mode or (ii) the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in the second mode;
wherein the display device is configured to operate 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;
wherein a shape of the lens elements is adjustable using an actuating force on the lenticular layer; and
wherein the display device is further configured to operate in the 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.
