Claim Text:
1. A multiple view display comprising: a display device having a planar pixel plane and a plurality of converging lenses, each lens cooperating with a respective region of the display device comprising a first sub-region for displaying part of a first image for viewing in a first viewing region and a second sub-region spaced apart in a first direction from the first sub-region and for displaying part of a second image for viewing in a second viewing region, each lens comprising first and second portions extending parallel to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and having lens centres spaced apart in the first direction, and each lens forming first and second images of the respective region of the display device, the first and second images being displaced from one another in the first direction; wherein the first and second portions of each lens comprise first and second curved upper surfaces, respectively, on the surfaces of the lens opposite the pixel plane, and wherein the first and second curved upper surfaces of each lens are curved and do not have a flat portion, and wherein each of the first and second curved upper surfaces of each lens define a respective apex so that each lens has two apices, and wherein a detent in each lens defined where the first and second curved upper surfaces of each lens meet is at a different elevation than is a detent between adjacent lenses; and wherein the plurality of converging lenses are located on a viewer side of a liquid crystal layer of the display device, so that the lenses are to be located between the liquid crystal layer and a viewer of the display device.
