Reflecting three-dimensional display system

The present invention provides a reflection-type three-dimensional display system. The present invention comprises an image providing device that provides elemental images; an image displaying device that displays the elemental images; a projective lens system that is located along the same axis as the image providing device; and a concave mirror array that is located along the same axis as the projective lens system. The projective lens system projects the image that is displayed by the image displaying device to the concave mirror array, and the concave mirror array reflects and integrates the projected image and therefore displays the three-dimensional image.

Apparatus displaying three-dimensional image

In a three-dimensional image display apparatus in which a lenticular plate and shutter device are arranged in front of a display module, one frame image is displayed using n field images. To display each field image, a shutter device is driven to substantially simultaneously open a group of shutter elements for every n lenses along a horizontal direction. Thus, light beams are transmitted from lenses through the shutter elements to an observing zone. The group of the opened shutter elements is sequentially changed in response to n switchings of the field. The switching of shutter elements is synchronized with the pixels on the display surface sequentially rewritten from top to bottom by linear sequential driving during the switching of the field. The elemental image is projected on the viewing zone via the lenses and the shutter elements.

Layered scene decomposition CODEC system and methods

ActiveUS20190068973A1Reduced system transmission latencyHigh bandwidth rateImage analysisGeometric image transformationDecompositionComputer graphics (images)
A system and methods for a CODEC driving a real-time light field display for multi-dimensional video streaming, interactive gaming and other light field display applications is provided applying a layered scene decomposition strategy. Multi-dimensional scene data is divided into a plurality of data layers of increasing depths as the distance between a given layer and the plane of the display increases. Data layers are sampled using a plenoptic sampling scheme and rendered using hybrid rendering, such as perspective and oblique rendering, to encode light fields corresponding to each data layer. The resulting compressed, (layered) core representation of the multi-dimensional scene data is produced at predictable rates, reconstructed and merged at the light field display in real-time by applying view synthesis protocols, including edge adaptive interpolation, to reconstruct pixel arrays in stages (e.g. columns then rows) from reference elemental images.
