Patent ID: 6948819

Claim:
A system for presenting a realistic three-dimensional display, comprising: a source for providing a plurality of components of a scene, each component representing a portion of said scene at a different depth in said scene, a corresponding plurality of bundles of image display elements, each bundle of image display elements containing a multitude of image display elements, each image display element having an input and a display output, each bundle of image display elements corresponding to a respective component of said scene, said display output of each of said image display elements being arranged to display an element of the component of said scene represented by the bundle containing said image display element, said input of each image display element being arranged to receive display information representing an element of the component of said scene represented by the bundle containing said image display element, the display output of each image display element arranged to display said element of said component of said scene according to the information received by the input of said image display element, such that each bundle of image display elements will be able to display its respective component of said scene, a display end of each image display element being placed at a distance from an observer corresponding to the depth of the component in said scene represented by the bundle containing said image display element, such that said display outputs of said image display element of each bundle will be able to display its respective component of said scene at a distance corresponding to its depth in said scene, whereby the display outputs of said plurality image display elements will display a true three-dimensional image of said scene, with closer parts of said scene physically closer to said observer and more distant parts of said scene more distant from said observer.
