Abstract:
A reconfigurable parallax barrier panel comprising an electro-optic material has first and second regions. The parallax barrier panel is configured in a first mode to address the first and second electrodes on the basis of at least one received drive signal such that: the first electrodes define, in the first region of the panel, a first parallax barrier array selected from a plurality of predetermined parallax barrier arrays; and the second electrodes define, in the second region of the panel, independently of the first parallax barrier array, a second parallax barrier array selected from the plurality of predetermined parallax barrier arrays, the second parallax barrier array being different to the first parallax barrier array. To obtain a good autostereoscopic 3-D viewing zone the pitch of a parallax barrier would ideally vary over the width of the parallax barrier panel as a function of viewing distance. This is impracticable to obtain in a practical parallax barrier panel, but the present invention can provide a change in barrier pitch at the boundary between the first region and the second region, and this effectively mimics a pitch that varies over the width of the parallax barrier panel as a function of viewing distance. A parallax barrier panel of the invention can provide improved 3-D viewing when the parallax barrier panel is incorporated in a display.

Claim (Index 20):
A display as claimed in  claim 13 ,\n wherein the first region comprises 12 first electrodes; wherein the second region comprises 12 second electrodes; wherein the parallax barrier panel further comprises third to ninth regions, the third to ninth regions having 12 third to ninth electrodes respectively for addressing the electro-optic material, the electrodes of the p th  (1\u2264p\u22649) region being independently addressable of one another and of the electrodes of the p\u2032 th  (1\u2264p\u2032\u22649, p\u2260p\u2032), and the third to ninth electrodes each comprising two or more electrically connected electrode portions extending along the first direction and laterally spaced from one another along the second direction, the electrode portions of the p th  (1\u2264p\u22649) electrodes being arranged in a cyclic arrangement.
