Zero Barrier, Zero Crosstalk Autosteresoscopic 3D Display System for Cinema & Home Theater Multi-user Settings

Abstract

Using a 4-viewer Autostereoscopic 3D Home Theater display system, a radically designed projection screen film system coupled with a conventional projection display is herein presented and shown to produce a superior 3D effect than most current autos tereoscopic and non-autostereo 3D Display systems. The proposed design's goals were specifically aimed at tackling the, until now, mutually exclusive properties of most parallax based autostereoscopic 3D Displays i.e. staggeringly high Display Optical Efficiency and drastically low levels of image Crosstalk. By uniquely patterning a film stack onto a projection screen so that the projected left and right images are reflected to their respective viewers locations without the need for barrier or lenticular lens, we were able to achieve a 0% Image Crosstalk at similar to 90% Optical Efficiency in a 4 concurrent autostereosocopic 3D viewers Home Theater Display System.
