Stereoscopic display and projection-type stereoscopic display

摘要

The invention provides a stereoscopic display capable of achieving three-dimensional images with excellent display quality and without using polarized glasses or the like. A stereoscopic display according to the present invention includes a device to electronically form composite stereoscopic images, an image forming device to reproduce real images of the composite stereoscopic images, and a focal device to substantially align the real images with a focal point position of eyes of an observer. In order to further enhance display performance, there are provided a Z-direction scanning device, a rotationally scanning device, and a matrix-type display that forms the composite stereoscopic images. On the other hand, there is provided a composite stereoscopic image-forming device including a projection device and a scanning-type scattering screen. In order to enhance display contrast, there are provided a polarization element and a polarized light separating device. Furthermore, the number of openings of a final optical element is preferably larger to increase a visible range, so that a reflection optical element with a large opening is provided as the image-forming device.
