Abstract

An autostereoscopic liquid crystal display (LCD) with a polarized parallax barrier (PPB) is proposed. To separate multi-view images, the PPB and a polarizer array are added into a conventional thin film transistor (TFT) LCD. Every subpixel of the proposed autostereoscopic LCD has two independent and isometric electrodes on the surface of the color filter. The corresponding structure of the display and the calculation equations for the PPB are described in detail. A prototype of the display is developed. The luminance distribution of the prototype along the horizontal direction is measured. The simulation results indicate that the display presents stereoscopic images without crosstalk at the optimal view distance. Compared with the autostereoscopic display with conventional parallax barrier, the proposed autostereoscopic LCD provides higher quality stereoscopic images.
