Abstract
Human see this world stereoscopically, we are trying to reproduce the visual experiences from what we see from the real world. Basic principles of most 3D displays technologies were discovered a hundred years ago, but the 3D displays have not yet been put into mass production due to several problems, such as the low 3D resolution, complicated mechanism, and inconvenience of wearing glasses, etc. Nowadays many researchers are getting interested in 3D displays again because the performance of flat panel display, especially liquid crystal display (LCD) has been largely improved. This mature display technology accompanying with the new-development method can overcome the problem of the previous 3D technology.This research proposes a solution for high efficiency high resolution liquid crystal (LC) panel for autostereoscopic 3D display with wide-view and high 3D resolution. The slanted barrier is applied on a LC panel for sharing the resolution reduction in both horizontal and vertical direction. In order to reach a high resolution with high efficiency, a new design of the LC pixel layout is necessary. The pixel design is based on the slanted barrier. The LC pixel with high directional emission profile can not only improve efficiency but also eliminate some deficiencies that affect the image quality in conventional parallax barrier design. By applying the slanted barrier and the pixel layout, we can overcome the issue of low resolution and serious resolution reduction in horizontal direction on conventional straight barrier design and have a LC panel which is more suitable for the application of high light efficiency parallax barrier type 3D display.
