A display device comprising: - a display panel comprising a set of pixels , the pixels being spatially distributed over the display panel, and each pixel being adapted for providing a light output, the set of pixels comprising a plurality of different subsets of pixels with no common pixels to the different subsets, the subsets of pixels also being distributed over the display panel and thereby at different areas of the display panel, each subset of pixels comprising a plurality of neighbouring pixels of the set of pixels; and - an imaging unit for providing directional control of the light from the pixels, wherein the imaging unit comprises imaging subunits, and each imaging subunit is arranged for imaging the plurality of pixels of a respective subset of pixels to form pixel images on a respective plurality of view areas on an imaginary plane located at a first distance in front of the display panel, which first distance is a standard operating distance of the display device, the view areas of the plurality of view areas not overlapping each other, with, for all pixels in all subsets, a pixel image of each one of the different subsets of pixels overlapping on a same respective one of the plurality of view areas, and the number of pixels per subset being the same as the number of view areas, the imaginary plane comprising an imaginary circle having a diameter equal to or smaller than that of the pupil of an eye, and the imaginary circle enclosing at least a part of each of the plurality of view areas, where the view areas at least partly enclosed within the imaginary circle differ from each other with respect to at least one of the pixel images therein, such that views of a scene as observed from different viewpoints are provided to different pupil areas of one eye to provide a free focus to the viewer. - a display panel comprising a set of pixels , the pixels being spatially distributed over the display panel, and each pixel being adapted for providing a light output, the set of pixels comprising a plurality of different subsets of pixels with no common pixels to the different subsets, the subsets of pixels also being distributed over the display panel and thereby at different areas of the display panel, each subset of pixels comprising a plurality of neighbouring pixels of the set of pixels; and - an imaging unit for providing directional control of the light from the pixels, wherein the imaging unit comprises imaging subunits, and each imaging subunit is arranged for imaging the plurality of pixels of a respective subset of pixels to form pixel images on a respective plurality of view areas on an imaginary plane located at a first distance in front of the display panel, which first distance is a standard operating distance of the display device, the view areas of the plurality of view areas not overlapping each other, with, for all pixels in all subsets, a pixel image of each one of the different subsets of pixels overlapping on a same respective one of the plurality of view areas, and the number of pixels per subset being the same as the number of view areas, the imaginary plane comprising an imaginary circle having a diameter equal to or smaller than that of the pupil of an eye, and the imaginary circle enclosing at least a part of each of the plurality of view areas, where the view areas at least partly enclosed within the imaginary circle differ from each other with respect to at least one of the pixel images therein, such that views of a scene as observed from different viewpoints are provided to different pupil areas of one eye to provide a free focus to the viewer. <EOS>
