Patent ID: 7626644

Claim:
A multiview autostereoscopic display comprising: a backlight unit; a first polarized panel which transmits light emitted from the backlight unit having a first polarization direction; a first polarization switch which changes the polarization direction of light incident thereon; a first anisotropic device array comprising first, second, third, and fourth anisotropic devices which are sequentially and repeatedly arranged in a horizontal direction, which transmits light such that light transmitted by an anisotropic device has a polarization perpendicular to a polarization of light transmitted by a neighboring anisotropic device; a second polarized panel which transmits light emitted from the first anisotropic device array having a second polarization direction; a second anisotropic device array, comprising fifth and sixth anisotropic devices alternately arranged in the horizontal direction, which transmits light such that light transmitted by the fifth anisotropic devices has a polarization perpendicular to a polarization of light transmitted by the sixth anisotropic devices; a lenticular lens array comprising a plurality of lenticular lens devices which are arranged in the horizontal direction, the lenticular lens array separating light transmitted from the first, second, third, and fourth anisotropic devices into different directions; a second polarization switch which changes the polarization direction of light incident thereon; a third anisotropic device array, comprising seventh and eighth anisotropic devices which are alternately arranged in a vertical direction, which transmits light such that light transmitted by the seventh anisotropic devices has a polarization perpendicular to a polarization of light transmitted by the eighth anisotropic devices; and a display panel which forms an image by modulating incident light.
