Autostereoscopic 3D display with scanning Multi-Electrode driven liquid crystal (MeD-LC) Lens

AbstractA novel autostereoscopic display with high resolution of 2D and 3D images and wide viewing angle was proposed by combining an “active scanning film” and fast response panel. The Multi-Electrode Driving Liquid Crystal (MeD-LC) Lens was utilized to realize the “active scanning film” for projecting the images to different directions to widen the viewing angle. By applying the operating voltage sequentially, MeD-LC lens could not only be switched on/off, but also horizontally moved to “scan” and project images without degrading the resolution. Additionally, the MeD-LC lens had the benefits of high focusing ability and low operation voltage. Consequently, the 3D crosstalk was lower by using MeDLC lens compare to that of conventional LC lens.
