Dual-views display: dual-layer LCDs enable high-resolution full-screen viewing

摘要

This paper describes tabletop display systems utilizing the stereoscopic 3D display technology. The authors have ever researched 3D display systems using the polarized glasses and liquid crystal shutter glasses, the image splitter such as a parallax barrier or the lenticular screen and the holographic optical elements1)2)3). These image splitting technologies for displaying a stereoscopic 3D image are available for developing the tabletop display that can provide different images to two users surrounding the system. To separate dual images using the polarizer slits, it is necessary to display the orthogonal polarized two images. We developed the dual LCD panel using two liquid crystal layers to make the thin and compact display system. This display panel enables observers to view full screen high resolution images. This study shows that it is possible to simplify the optical system.
