Abstract:
1. An autostereoscopic display apparatus comprising: a spatial light modulator including an array of pixels arranged with a repeating unit of pixels, each pixel having plural domains; and a parallax element including an array of optical elements arranged over the spatial light modulator to direct light from pixels into different viewing windows, the optical elements having geometric axes in parallel with each other and across the spatial light modulator in a direction inclined at an angle with respect to a column direction, wherein the domains are shaped such that, for each individual domain, a notional line parallel to the geometric axes of the optical elements has a total length of intersection with the individual domain, summed over pixels of a same color which are along the notional line, and wherein said total length is the same for all positions of the notional line, said total length of intersection for different domains being proportional to the area of the individual domains.
