High‐visibility 2‐D/3‐D LCD with HDDP arrangement and its optical characterization methods

— A 3.1-in.-diagonal 2-D/3-D LCD with a novel pixel arrangement, called horizontally double-density pixels (HDDP), for high-quality 3-D images has been developed. 3-D visibility has been improved by broadening the qualified stereoscopic viewing space (QSVS) where high-quality 3-D images can be seen. In order to evaluate the QSVS, optical characterization methods, based on the ergonomics for stereoscopy, such as 3-D crosstalk, interocular luminance difference and 3-D moire have been proposed. The implementation results show that these methods can correctly evaluate high-visibility autostereoscopic displays.
