Abstract:
1. A generic optical matrix having pixels corresponding to color and sub-pixels corresponding to non-color effects, the generic optical matrix comprising: a substrate; and an array of pixels disposed on the substrate, the array comprising first pixels corresponding to a first color and second pixels corresponding to a second color, the first color being different from the second color, the first pixels and second pixels being arranged in a motif such that individual ones of the first pixels are positioned adjacent to individual ones of the second pixels; wherein individual ones of the pixels comprise sub-pixels, a given pixel comprising a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel comprising a first optical structure configured such that light reflected or transmitted by the first optical structure of the first sub-pixel is directed toward a left eye of a person observing the generic optical matrix from a first viewing angle, the second sub-pixel comprising a second optical structure configured such that light reflected or transmitted by the second optical structure of the second sub-pixel is directed toward a right eye of the person observing the generic optical matrix from the first viewing angle, the light reflected or transmitted by the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel being the corresponding color of the given pixel.
