Patent ID: 6999110

Claim:
A three-dimensional image display system utilizing both a light beam reproducing method and a shadowgraph multi-view parallax method, comprising: a color filter disposed on an observer side of a white-color point light source array, wherein light beams from the white-color point light source are selectively colored by the color filter so that a plurality of light beams corresponding to scattered light from each point of an object is generated so that an image of each point is formed in a region remote from the color filter and the white-color point light source, light beams are selectively colored by the color filter for a portion in a vicinity of the white-color point light source and the color filter where a sufficient number of light beams cannot be reproduced so that image data reaching the observer from the white-color point light source through the color filter forms a view-dependent parallax stereoscopic display operation not only laterally but also vertically, and these two operations are mixed in an intermediate region so that a stereoscopic image is continuously formed.
