Abstract

Viewing-zone control of integral imaging (II) displays using a directional projection and elemental image (EI) resizing method is proposed. Directional projection of EIs with the same size of microlens pitch causes an EI mismatch at the EI plane. In this method, EIs are generated computationally using a newly introduced algorithm: the directional elemental image generation and resizing algorithm considering the directional projection geometry of each pixel as well as an EI resizing method to prevent the EI mismatch. Generated EIs are projected as a collimated projection beam with a predefined directional angle, either horizontally or vertically. The proposed II display system allows reconstruction of a 3D image within a predefined viewing zone that is determined by the directional projection angle.
