    摘要: A waveguide display assembly includes a flat waveguide; a passage filter layer, which is divided into a plurality of area segments, which can be switched to light passage independently of each other; an image-generating unit, which is configured to generate different 2D images, each of which is intended only for one eye of a user for autostereoscopic 3D presentation, and to couple the 2D images into the waveguide in the form of collimated light beams, the propagation directions of which correspond to individual pixels; and a control unit, which is configured to control the image-generating unit and the passage filter layer such that only one or a subset of the area segments is switched to light passage at a time and, synchronously therewith, the image-generating unit generates only one image area segment of the 2D image intended for one eye of the user.

    摘要: An image display device displays a stereoscopic image by using a parallax barrier method and includes a transmissive image display surface on which images of left-eye image data and right-eye image data are alternately displayed; an image forming unit including optical members having strip-shaped patterns with optical properties arranged on a surface located on a back surface side of the image display surface; and strip-shaped light sources arranged on an illumination arrangement surface, which is a surface located on a back surface side of the image forming unit, and configured to irradiate the image display surface with illumination light. A slit area of the parallax barrier method is formed by an image obtained by forming an image of the illumination light from the strip-shaped light sources on the back surface side of the image display surface by using the optical members of the image forming unit.

    摘要: Some embodiments of an example apparatus may include a display, a first controllable diffuser overlaying the display, the first controllable diffuser being selectively operable to diffuse light in a first diffusion direction, and a second controllable diffuser overlaying the display, the second controllable diffuser being selectively operable to diffuse light in a second diffusion direction substantially perpendicular to the first diffusion direction. In some embodiments, an example method may include emitting a light beam from a light emitting device; linearly polarizing the light beam; passing the light beam through LC and birefringent materials; and applying a voltage to alter polarization of the LC material, from a first state causing the light to diffuse in a first direction upon passing through the birefringent material, to a second state causing the light beam to diffuse in a second direction upon passing through the birefringent material.

    摘要: A gaming machine includes a processor, a video controller coupled to the processor, a display device coupled to the video controller, and an input device coupled to the processor and receiving an input from a player. The display device includes a rear display panel and a front display panel arranged between the player and the rear display panel, the front display panel including an electrochromic display panel that is spaced apart from the rear display panel in a viewing direction of the player. The video controller causes the display device to alternate between a first state for displaying a first image on the rear display panel and a second state for displaying a second image on the front display panel. In the first state, the video controller displays the first image on the rear display panel and causes the front display panel to be transparent, and in the second state, the video controller displays the second image on the rear display panel and causes the front display panel to be opaque.

    摘要: A display device includes a controller configured to perform control of bringing a predetermined number of adjacent openings into a first state being one state of a light transmitting state and a light shielding state to form a plurality of first state parts. The controller changes a potential of all of a plurality of electrodes to any of a first potential, a predetermined potential between the first potential and a second potential, and the second potential. After the change, the controller moves the first state parts.
