Patent ID: 8262271

Claim:
A display comprising: a single-view image display panel; and a parallax optic disposed over a display face of the image display panel for restricting an angular spread of light output from the display face of the image display panel; wherein the display panel is a pixelated display panel and wherein an element of the parallax optic is associated with no more than one pixel of the display panel or with no more than one line of pixels of the display panel, the elements of the parallax optic restrict the angular spread of light output from the display face of the image display panel in two orthogonal directions, the elements of the parallax optic substantially collimates light output from the display face of the image display panel in a first of the orthogonal directions, and the elements of the parallax optic restrict the angular spread of light output from the display face of the image display panel in a second of the orthogonal directions into a first angular range centered on an angle of approximately −30° with respect to a normal to the display and a second angular range centered on an angle of approximately +30° with respect to the normal.
