Patent ID: 7940456

Claim:
A three-dimensional image recording medium, comprising: a lenticular sheet and a plurality of lenticular lens units arranged in the lenticular sheet; and a linear image recording medium comprising a plurality of linear image recording units being positioned, respectively, on a back side of each of the lenticular lens units; each of the linear recording units comprising a plurality of divisional recording units; and a plurality of projection images of an object recorded sequentially onto respective ones of the divisional recording units, wherein each of the plurality of projection images is an image of the object viewed from a different direction and wherein each said projection image is divided into rectangular subsections of the image; wherein said rectangular subsections of respective ones of the images are recorded sequentially onto each of the divisional recording units as linear images, arranged in an identical position relative to a lens width direction of each of the lenticular lens units; wherein said projection images are projection images of plural parallel-projection images from the different directions; and wherein the images recorded in the recording medium are combined at an observing position to obtain a three-dimensional image, wherein the linear images of divided parallel-projection images with which parallax angles from a front direction are sequentially enlarged from a center to edges of each corresponding lenticular lens unit are recorded in the plural linear image recording units.
