Patent ID: 7688509

Claim:
An autostereoscopic display device including a display array comprising: a number of addressable pixels, means for addressing the pixels in the display array, a splitting screen in front of the display array, means for providing collimated light emitted by the pixels of the display array towards the splitting screen, wherein the splitting screen is a dynamic splitting screen having variable lenses, and means for controlling the dynamic splitting screen for controlling an exit angle of light emitted through the splitting screen by changing voltage levels applied to two opposite sides of at least one of the variable lenses to change an orientation of flat interfaces between two immiscible liquids of the variable lenses so that different images are directed to two eyes of a viewer, wherein the two opposite sides are adjacent to an entry axis of an entrance light entering the dynamic splitting screen, and wherein in a first voltage level changes the orientation to deflect the light emitted through the splitting screen to a first side, and a second voltage level changes the orientation to deflect the light emitted through the splitting screen to a second side, wherein the first side is different from the second side, and wherein the light deflect to the first side is directed to a right eye of the viewer, and the light deflect to the second side is directed to a left eye of the viewer.
