Patent ID: 10078228

Abstract:
A three-dimensional imaging system relies on effective native image resolution reduction in order to provide an array of pixel clusters, or voxels, with each pixel of the voxel representing a pixel of the image from a unique viewing angle. A 16-megapixel screen having 16-pixel voxels results in a screen having an image capacity downgraded to a 1-megapixel screen capable of showing sixteen different viewing angles. The system can be set up as a rear-projection screen or as a reflective screen illuminated by a front projector. The invention is best implemented with projectors and screens that represent all colors at a single physical location, such as a 3-panel LCD color-combinant projector or a DLP projector, either single or triple chip type. When the RGB sub-pixels are non-coincident, the viewers will see color artifacts that detract from the viewing experience.
