Abstract:
1. A two view display for displaying in respective display areas first and second images corresponding to respective views, the display areas being first and second display areas arranged in a horizontal direction and defined as first and second views, comprising: a display device comprising first pixels and second pixels arranged as rows and columns with said first pixels alternating with said second pixels in said rows and in said columns; a parallax optic comprising rows and columns of parallax elements, said parallax elements being positioned in relation to at least one of said first pixels and at least one of said second pixels in a same row as and next to said at least one of said first pixels such that light from said first pixels is directed to said first display area by said parallax element and light from said second pixels is directed to said second display area by said parallax element, and an arrangement of said parallax element in said each row being shifted to said parallax element in a next row by half the pitch of said parallax element in a row direction, wherein the parallax elements include a slit pitch to provide viewpoint correction, the slit pitch being selected such that when said parallax optic is disposed between said display device and said viewing regions the slit pitch is sufficiently less than twice a pitch in said row direction of said pixels and when said display device is disposed between said parallax optic and said viewing regions the slit pitch is sufficiently greater than twice a pitch in said row direction of said pixels; and a controller for supplying image data for first and second views to said first and second pixels, respectively, wherein a size of a row direction of said pixels is defined to be larger than a size of a column direction of said pixels so as to increase an angle, which is defined by the size and formed by a first view direction to said display device and a second view direction to said display device.
