Abstract:
1. An automultiscopic display apparatus, comprising: a first parallax barrier or lens system selectively operable to display parallax barrier patterns; a first planar emitting device selectively operable to emit light to the first parallax barrier or lens system; a second parallax barrier or lens system selectively operable to display parallax barrier patterns; a second planar emitting device selectively operable to emit light to the second parallax barrier or lens system; a beam splitter positioned between the first and second parallax barrier or lens systems to receive output light from the first and second parallax barrier or lens systems on first and second surfaces of the beam splitter, respectively; and a controller operating the first planar emitting devices to display a first component of a light field and the second planar emitting device to display a second component of the light field, wherein the first parallax barrier or lens system is spaced apart from the first surface of the beam splitter a first distance and the second parallax barrier or lens system is spaced apart from the second surface of the beam splitter a second distance greater than the first distance, whereby the first and second components are displayed in spaced apart planes.
