Parameter design of a parallax barrier based on the color moiré patterns in autostereoscopic display.

We propose a parameter design of the parallax barrier (PB) based on the color moiré patterns in autostereoscopic displays. First, the display device and the PB are approximated as two corresponding binary gratings. In order to obtain different corresponding predominant Fourier low-frequency terms, the superposition of the equivalent grating for the display device and the special radial grating is analyzed, referring to the indicial equation method and Fourier theory. Moreover, the two transition regions are considered as the regions where moiré patterns vary gently. Finally, the appropriate parameter of the PB can be obtained. The validity of the proposed design is verified in the experiment.
