    摘要: A directional display comprises a display arrangement such as a spatial light modulator and a rear parallax barrier illuminated by a suitable backlight. The spatial light modulator and the parallax barrier cooperate to produce Fresnel diffraction which results in spatially non-uniform brightness across viewing windows of the display. Also, where the spatial light modulator has pixels of non-constant vertical aperture, further variations in the intensity profile at the windows occurs. In order to compensate for this, a mask is provided, for instance between the parallax barrier and the backlight. The mask cooperates with the parallax barrier to produce an intensity pattern having variations which are the inverse of the variations in intensity pattern produced by the parallax barrier and the spatial light modulator. The variations are superimposed and substantially cancel each other out so as to result in viewing windows which have substantially uniform light intensities.
