Abstract:
A multiview autostereoscopic display includes a display area including an array of angular pixels, an eye tracker, and a processing system. Each angular pixel emits color that varies across a field of view of that angular pixel. The array of angular pixels displays different views in different viewing zones across the field of view of the display. The eye tracker detects the presence of the eyes of at least one viewer within specific viewing zones and produces eye tracking information including locations of the detected eyes within the specific viewing zones. The processing system renders a specific view for each detected eye based upon the location of the detected eye within the viewing zone with detected eyes, and generates control information for the array of angular pixels to cause the specific view for each detected eye to be displayed in the viewing zone in which that eye was detected.
