Motion parallax and lossless resolution autostereoscopic 3D display based on a binocular viewpoint tracking liquid...

The autostereoscopic 3D display has two important indicators, both the number of viewpoints and display resolution. However, it's a challenge to improve both the viewpoint and the resolution. Here, we develop a fixed-position multiview and lossless resolution autostereoscopic 3D display system that includes the dynamic liquid crystal (LC) grating screen. This display system consists of an LC display panel and an LC grating screen. The synchronization of the frame switching of the LC display panel and the LC grating screen shutter enables the preserved resolution. The "eye space" design makes the viewpoint dense enough and determines the LC grating screen's parameters. We use binocular viewpoint tracking technology to realize the LC grating screen's adaptive control based on the above work. Different binocular views are rendered in real-time according to the different positions of a single pair of stereoscopic viewpoints in the eye space, making the motion parallax possible. We present the working principle and mathematical analysis. We implement a prototype for verifying the principle. According to the experiment results analysis, this prototype can achieve viewpoint tracking and motion parallax based on resolution lossless and viewpoint dense enough.
