Definitions

  • the present invention relates to three-dimensional image displays.
  • Images may be generated for display in various forms.
  • television is a widely used telecommunication medium for transmitting and displaying images in monochromatic (“black and white”) or color form.
  • images are provided in analog form and are displayed by display devices in two-dimensions.
  • images are being provided in digital form for display in two-dimensions on display devices having improved resolution (e.g., “high definition” or “HD”).
  • HD high definition
  • Conventional displays may use a variety of techniques to achieve three-dimensional image viewing functionality.
  • various types of glasses have been developed that may be worn by users to view three-dimensional images displayed by a conventional display.
  • glasses include glasses that utilize color filters or polarized filters.
  • the lenses of the glasses pass two-dimensional images of differing perspective to the user's left and right eyes.
  • the images are combined in the visual center of the brain of the user to be perceived as a three-dimensional image.
  • synchronized left eye, right eye LCD (liquid crystal display) shutter glasses may be used with conventional two-dimensional displays to create a three-dimensional viewing illusion.
  • LCD display glasses are being used to display three-dimensional images to a user.
  • the lenses of the LCD display glasses include corresponding displays that provide images of differing perspective to the user's eyes, to be perceived by the user as three-dimensional.
  • a display device of this type may be switched to a three-dimensional mode for viewing of three-dimensional images, and may be switched to a two-dimensional mode for viewing of two-dimensional images (and/or to provide a respite from the viewing of three-dimensional images).
  • a parallax barrier is another example of a device that enables images to be displayed in three-dimensions.
  • a parallax barrier includes of a layer of material with a series of precision slits. The parallax barrier is placed proximal to a display so that a user's eyes each see a different set of pixels to create a sense of depth through parallax.
  • a disadvantage of parallax barriers is that the viewer must be positioned in a well-defined location in order to experience the three-dimensional effect. If the viewer moves his/her eyes away from this “sweet spot,” image flipping and/or exacerbation of the eyestrain, headaches and nausea that may be associated with prolonged three-dimensional image viewing may result.
  • Conventional three-dimensional displays that utilize parallax barriers are also constrained in that the displays must be entirely in a two-dimensional image mode or a three-dimensional image mode at any time.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a display system, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B show block diagrams of examples of the display system of FIG. 1 , according to embodiments.
  • FIG. 3 shows a view of a surface of a parallax barrier, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show views of a barrier element of a barrier element array that is selected to be transparent and to be opaque, respectively, according to example embodiments.
  • FIG. 6 shows a flowchart for generating three-dimensional images, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of an example of a display system, according to an embodiment.
  • FIGS. 8A and 8B shows view of example parallax barriers with non-blocking slits, according to embodiments.
  • FIG. 9 shows a block diagram of a barrier array controller, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 10 shows an example display system configured to generate three-dimensional images, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 11 shows the display system of FIG. 7 providing a three-dimensional image to a user, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 12 shows a process for forming a two-dimensional image, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 13 shows a process for modifying a parallax barrier to modify display characteristics, according to example embodiments.
  • FIG. 14 shows a view of the parallax barrier of FIG. 3 with increased spacing between non-blocking slits, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 15 shows a display system with increased spacing between non-blocking slits, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 16 shows a view of the parallax barrier of FIG. 3 with alternative width non-blocking slits, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 17 shows a process for configuring a parallax barrier to display differently oriented three-dimensional images, according to example embodiments.
  • FIGS. 18 and 19 show views of the parallax barrier of FIG. 3 with alternatively oriented non-blocking slits, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 20 shows a block diagram of a display environment, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 21 shows a block diagram of a remote device, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 22 shows a block diagram of a display device, according to an example embodiment.
  • FIG. 23 shows a block diagram of an example display controller, according to an embodiment.
  • references in the specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “an example embodiment,” etc., indicate that the embodiment described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but every embodiment may not necessarily include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic. Moreover, such phrases are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment. Further, when a particular feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, it is submitted that it is within the knowledge of one skilled in the art to effect such feature, structure, or characteristic in connection with other embodiments whether or not explicitly described.
  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to display devices that include a parallax barrier that may be dynamically modified, thereby changing the manner in which images are delivered to the eyes of one or more viewers.
  • the parallax barrier may be configured to enable the adaptive display of multiple types of images to users. For instance, embodiments enable the adaptive accommodation of a changing viewer sweet spot, and switching between two-dimensional (2D) and stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) images.
  • Example features of the parallax barrier that may be dynamically modified include one or more of a number of slits in the parallax barrier, the dimensions of each slit, the spacing between the slits, and the orientation of the slits.
  • a display device may include an adaptive parallax barrier to enable various display capabilities.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a display system 100 , according to an example embodiment.
  • system 100 includes a display device 112 .
  • Display device 112 is capable of displaying 2D and 3D images as described above.
  • display device 112 includes a image generator 102 and a parallax barrier 104 .
  • image generator 102 includes a pixel array 114 and may optionally include backlighting 116 .
  • Image generator 102 and parallax barrier 104 operate to generate 2D and/or 3D images that are viewable by users/viewers in a viewing space 106 .
  • parallax barrier 104 is shown positioned between image generator 102 and viewing space 106 in FIG. 1 , as further described below, parallax barrier 104 may alternatively be positioned between portions of image generator 102 (e.g., between pixel array 114 and backlighting 116 ).
  • backlighting 116 emits light that is filtered by parallax barrier 104 , and the filtered light is received by pixel array 114 , which imposes image information on the filtered light by performing further filtering.
  • pixel array 114 may be configured to emit light which includes the image information, and the light is filtered by parallax barrier 104 .
  • Parallax barrier 104 operates as an image filter or “light manipulator” to filter received light with a plurality of barrier elements (also referred to as “blocking regions”) that are selectively substantially opaque or transparent to generate three-dimensional images from the image information provided by pixel array 114 .

Abstract

A display system is provided that enables three-dimensional images to be displayed. The display system includes a parallax barrier. The parallax barrier is positioned proximate a light source. The parallax barrier includes a plurality of barrier elements arranged in a barrier element array. Each barrier element is configured to be selectively opaque (blocking) or transparent (non-blocking). In a first mode, each barrier element of the barrier element array is selected to be non-blocking to enable a two-dimensional image to be generated. In a second mode, each barrier element in a plurality of parallel strips of barrier elements of the barrier element array is selected to be non-blocking to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking slits to enable a three-dimensional image to be generated. The number, width, and orientation of non-blocking slits are selectable to modify display characteristics, such as a position at which the three-dimensional image is delivered.

  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/303,119, filed on Feb. 10, 2010, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to three-dimensional image displays.
  • 2. Background Art
  • Images may be generated for display in various forms. For instance, television (TV) is a widely used telecommunication medium for transmitting and displaying images in monochromatic (“black and white”) or color form. Conventionally, images are provided in analog form and are displayed by display devices in two-dimensions. More recently, images are being provided in digital form for display in two-dimensions on display devices having improved resolution (e.g., “high definition” or “HD”). Even more recently, images capable of being displayed in three-dimensions are being generated.
  • Conventional displays may use a variety of techniques to achieve three-dimensional image viewing functionality. For example, various types of glasses have been developed that may be worn by users to view three-dimensional images displayed by a conventional display. Examples of such glasses include glasses that utilize color filters or polarized filters. In each case, the lenses of the glasses pass two-dimensional images of differing perspective to the user's left and right eyes. The images are combined in the visual center of the brain of the user to be perceived as a three-dimensional image. In another example, synchronized left eye, right eye LCD (liquid crystal display) shutter glasses may be used with conventional two-dimensional displays to create a three-dimensional viewing illusion. In still another example, LCD display glasses are being used to display three-dimensional images to a user. The lenses of the LCD display glasses include corresponding displays that provide images of differing perspective to the user's eyes, to be perceived by the user as three-dimensional.
  • Problems exist with such techniques for viewing three-dimensional images. For instance, persons that use such displays and systems to view three-dimensional images may suffer from headaches, eyestrain, and/or nausea after long exposure. Furthermore, some content, such as two-dimensional text, may be more difficult to read and interpret when displayed three-dimensionally. To address these problems, some manufacturers have created display devices that may be toggled between three-dimensional viewing and two-dimensional viewing. A display device of this type may be switched to a three-dimensional mode for viewing of three-dimensional images, and may be switched to a two-dimensional mode for viewing of two-dimensional images (and/or to provide a respite from the viewing of three-dimensional images).
  • A parallax barrier is another example of a device that enables images to be displayed in three-dimensions. A parallax barrier includes of a layer of material with a series of precision slits. The parallax barrier is placed proximal to a display so that a user's eyes each see a different set of pixels to create a sense of depth through parallax. A disadvantage of parallax barriers is that the viewer must be positioned in a well-defined location in order to experience the three-dimensional effect. If the viewer moves his/her eyes away from this “sweet spot,” image flipping and/or exacerbation of the eyestrain, headaches and nausea that may be associated with prolonged three-dimensional image viewing may result. Conventional three-dimensional displays that utilize parallax barriers are also constrained in that the displays must be entirely in a two-dimensional image mode or a three-dimensional image mode at any time.

Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of exemplary embodiments described herein.
  • A. Example Display System and Method Embodiments
  • In embodiments, a display device may include an adaptive parallax barrier to enable various display capabilities. For instance, FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a display system 100, according to an example embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, system 100 includes a display device 112. Display device 112 is capable of displaying 2D and 3D images as described above. As shown in FIG. 1, display device 112 includes a image generator 102 and a parallax barrier 104. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, image generator 102 includes a pixel array 114 and may optionally include backlighting 116. Image generator 102 and parallax barrier 104 operate to generate 2D and/or 3D images that are viewable by users/viewers in a viewing space 106. Although parallax barrier 104 is shown positioned between image generator 102 and viewing space 106 in FIG. 1, as further described below, parallax barrier 104 may alternatively be positioned between portions of image generator 102 (e.g., between pixel array 114 and backlighting 116).
  • When present, backlighting 116 emits light that is filtered by parallax barrier 104, and the filtered light is received by pixel array 114, which imposes image information on the filtered light by performing further filtering. When backlighting 116 is not present, pixel array 114 may be configured to emit light which includes the image information, and the light is filtered by parallax barrier 104. Parallax barrier 104 operates as an image filter or “light manipulator” to filter received light with a plurality of barrier elements (also referred to as “blocking regions”) that are selectively substantially opaque or transparent to generate three-dimensional images from the image information provided by pixel array 114. The image information may include one or more still images, motion (e.g., video) images, etc. As shown in FIG. 1, image generator 102 and parallax barrier 104 generate filtered light 110. Filtered light 110 may include a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image (e.g., formed by a pair of two-dimensional images in filtered light 110), for instance. Filtered light 110 is received in viewing space 106 proximate to display device 112. One or more users may be present in viewing space 106 to view the images included in filtered light 110.
  • Display device 112 may be implemented in various ways. For instance, display device 112 may be a television display (e.g., an LCD (liquid crystal display) television, a plasma television, etc.), a computer monitor, or any other type of display device. Image generator 102 may be any suitable type or combination of light and image generating devices, including an LCD screen, a plasma screen, an LED (light emitting device) screen (e.g., an OLED (organic LED) screen), etc. Parallax barrier 104 may be any suitable light filtering device, including an LCD filter, a mechanical filter (e.g., that incorporates individually controllable shutters), etc., and may be configured in any manner, including as a thin-film device (e.g., formed of a stack of thin film layers), etc. Backlighting 116 may be any suitable light emitting device, including a panel of LEDs or other light emitting elements.
  • FIG. 2A shows a block diagram of a display system 200, which is an example of system 100 shown in FIG. 1, according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2A, system 200 includes a display device controller 202 and a display device 250 (which includes image generator 102 and parallax barrier 104). Display device 250 is an example of display device 112 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2A, image generator 102 includes a pixel array 208 (which is an example of pixel array 114 of FIG. 1), and parallax barrier 104 includes a barrier element array 210. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2A, display controller 202 includes a pixel array controller 204 and a barrier array controller 206. These features of system 200 are described as follows.
  • Pixel array 208 includes a two-dimensional array of pixels (e.g., arranged in a grid or other distribution). Pixel array 208 is a self-illuminating or light-generating pixel array such that the pixels of pixel array 208 each emit light included in light 252 emitted from image generator 102. Each pixel may be a separately addressable light source (e.g., a pixel of a plasma display, an LCD display, an LED display such as an OLED display, or of other type of display). Each pixel of pixel array 208 may be individually controllable to vary color and intensity. In an embodiment, each pixel of pixel array 208 may include a plurality of sub-pixels that correspond to separate color channels, such as a trio of red, green, and blue sub-pixels included in each pixel.
  • Parallax barrier 104 is positioned proximate to a surface of pixel array 208. Barrier element array 210 is a layer of parallax barrier 104 that includes a plurality of barrier elements or blocking regions arranged in an array. Each barrier element of the array is configured to be selectively opaque or transparent. For instance, FIG. 3 shows a parallax barrier 300, according to an example embodiment. Parallax barrier 300 is an example of parallax barrier 104 of FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 3, parallax barrier 300 includes a barrier element array 302. Barrier element array 302 includes a plurality of barrier elements 304 arranged in a two-dimensional array (e.g., arranged in a grid), although in other embodiments, may include barrier elements 304 arranged in other ways. Barrier elements 304 may each be a pixel of an LCD, a moveable mechanical element (e.g., a hinged flap that passes light in a first position and blocks light in a second position), a magnetically actuated element, or other suitable barrier element. Each barrier element 304 is shown in FIG. 3 as rectangular (e.g., square) in shape, but in other embodiments may have other shapes.
  • For example, in one embodiment, each barrier element 304 may have a “band” shape that extends a vertical length of barrier element array 302, such that barrier element array 302 includes a single horizontal row of barrier elements 304. Each barrier element 304 may include one or more of such bands, and different portions of barrier element array 302 may include barrier elements 304 that include different numbers of such bands. One advantage of such a configuration is that barrier elements 304 extending a vertical length of barrier element array 302 do not need to have spacing between them because there is no need for drive signal routing in such space. For instance, in a two-dimensional LCD array configuration, such as TFT (thin film transistor) display, a transistor-plus-capacitor circuit is typically placed onsite at the corner of a single pixel in the array, and control signals for such transistors are routed between the LCD pixels (row-column control, for example). In a pixel configuration for a parallax barrier, local transistor control may not be necessary because barrier elements 304 may not need to be changing as rapidly as display pixels (e.g., pixels of pixel array 208). For a single row of vertical bands of barrier elements 304, control signals may be routed to the top and/or bottom of barrier elements 304. Because in such a configuration control signal routing between rows is not needed, the vertical bands can be arranged side-by-side with little-to-no space in between. Thus, if the vertical bands are thin and oriented edge-to-edge, one band or multiple adjacent bands (e.g., five bands) in a row may comprise a barrier element 304 in a blocking state, followed by one band or multiple adjacent bands (e.g., two bands) that comprise a barrier element 304 in a non-blocking state (a slit), and so on. In the example of five bands in a blocking state and two bands in a non-blocking state, the five bands may combine to offer a single black barrier element of approximately 2.5 times the width of a single transparent slit with no spaces therein.
  • Barrier element array 302 may include any number of barrier elements 304. For example, in FIG. 3, barrier element array 302 includes twenty-eight barrier elements 304 along an x-axis and includes twenty barrier elements 304 along a y-axis, for a total number of five hundred and sixty barrier elements 304. However, these dimensions of barrier element array 302 and the total number of barrier elements 304 for barrier element array 302 shown in FIG. 3 are provided for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to be limiting. Barrier element array 302 may include any number of barrier elements 304, and may have any array dimensions, including ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, or even larger numbers of barrier elements 304 along each of the x- and y-axes. Barrier element array 302 of FIG. 3 is merely illustrative of larger barrier arrays that may be typically present in embodiments of parallax barrier 104. In embodiments, the width of one barrier element in a barrier element array may be a multiple or divisor of a corresponding display pixel width (e.g., a width of a pixel of pixel array 114). Similarly, a number of columns/rows in a barrier element array may be a multiple or divisor of a corresponding number of columns/rows of pixels in a corresponding pixel array.
  • Each barrier element 304 of barrier element array 302 is selectable to be substantially opaque or transparent. For instance, FIG. 4 shows a barrier element 304 x that is selected to be substantially transparent, and FIG. 5 shows barrier element 304 x when selected to be substantially opaque, according to example embodiments. When barrier element 304 x is selected to be transparent, light 252 from pixel array 208 may pass through barrier element 304 x (e.g., to viewing space 106). When barrier element 304 x is selected to be opaque, light 252 from pixel array 208 is blocked from passing through barrier element 304 x. By selecting some of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent, and some of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be opaque, light 252 received at barrier element array 302 is filtered to generate filtered light 110. It is noted that in some embodiments, barrier elements may capable of being completely transparent or opaque, and in other embodiments, barrier elements may not be capable of being fully transparent or opaque. For instance, such barrier elements may be capable of being 95% transparent when considered to be “transparent” and may be capable of being 5% transparent when considered to be “opaque.” “Transparent” and “opaque” as used herein are intended to encompass barrier elements being substantially transparent (e.g., greater than 75% transparent, including completely transparent) and substantially opaque (e.g., less than 25% transparent, including completely opaque), respectively.
  • Display controller 202 is configured to generate control signals to enable display device 250 to display two-dimensional and three-dimensional images to users 218 in viewing space 106. For example, pixel array controller 204 is configured to generate a control signal 214 that is received by pixel array 208. Control signal 214 may include one or more control signals used to cause pixels of pixel array 208 to emit light 252 of particular desired colors and/or intensity. Barrier array controller 206 is configured to generate a control signal 216 that is received by barrier element array 210. Control signal 216 may include one or more control signals used to cause each of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent or opaque. In this manner, barrier element array 210 filters light 252 to generate filtered light 110 that includes one or more two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional images that may be viewed by users 218 in viewing space 106.
  • For example, control signal 214 may control sets of pixels of pixel array 208 to each emit light representative of a respective image, to provide a plurality of images. Control signal 216 may control barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 210 to filter the light received from pixel array 208 according to the provided images such that one or more of the images are received by users 218 in two-dimensional form. For instance, in a first mode, control signal 216 may select the barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent, to transmit a two-dimensional image or view to users 218. Furthermore, in a second mode, control signal 216 may control sections of barrier element array 210 to include opaque and transparent barrier elements 304 to filter the light received from pixel array 208 so that a pair of images or views provided by pixel array 208 is received by users 218 as a corresponding three-dimensional image or view. For example, control signal 216 may select parallel strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent to form slits that enable three-dimensional images to be received by users 218.
  • In embodiments, control signal 216 may be generated by barrier array controller 206 to configure one or more characteristics of barrier element array 210. For example, control signal 216 may be generated to form any number of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent, to modify the number and/or spacing of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 that are transparent, to select and/or modify a width and/or a length (in barrier elements 304) of one or more strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 that are transparent or opaque, to select and/or modify an orientation of one or more strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 that are transparent, etc.
  • FIG. 2B shows a block diagram of a display system 220, which is another example of system 100 shown in FIG. 1, according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2B, system 220 includes display device controller 202 and a display device 260, which includes a pixel array 222, parallax barrier 104, and backlighting 116. Display device 260 is an example of display device 112 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2B, parallax barrier 104 includes barrier element array 210 and backlighting 116 includes a light element array 236. Furthermore, display controller 202 includes a pixel array controller 228, barrier array controller 206, and a light source controller 230. Although separated by parallax barrier 104 in FIG. 2B, pixel array 222 and backlighting 116 form an example of image generator 102 of FIG. 1. These features of system 220 are described as follows.
  • Backlighting 116 is a backlight panel that emits light 238. Light element array 236 (or “backlight array”) of backlighting 116 includes a two-dimensional array of light sources. Such light sources may be arranged, for example, in a rectangular grid. Each light source in light element array 236 is individually addressable and controllable to select an amount of light emitted thereby. A single light source may comprise one or more light-emitting elements depending upon the implementation. In one embodiment, each light source in light element array 236 comprises a single light-emitting diode (LED) although this example is not intended to be limiting.
  • Parallax barrier 104 is positioned proximate to a surface of backlighting 116 (e.g., a surface of the backlight panel). As described above, barrier element array 210 is a layer of parallax barrier 104 that includes a plurality of barrier elements or blocking regions arranged in an array. Each barrier element of the array is configured to be selectively opaque or transparent. FIG. 3, as described above, shows a parallax barrier 300, which is an example of parallax barrier 104 of FIG. 2B. Barrier element array 210 filters light 238 received from backlighting 116 to generate filtered light 240. Filtered light 240 is configured to enable a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image (e.g., formed by a pair of two-dimensional images in filtered light 110) to be formed based on images subsequently imposed on filtered light 240 by pixel array 222.
  • Similarly to pixel array 208 of FIG. 2A, pixel array 222 of FIG. 2B includes a two-dimensional array of pixels (e.g., arranged in a grid or other distribution). However, pixel array 222 is not self-illuminating, and instead is a light filter that imposes images (e.g., in the form of color, grayscale, etc.) on filtered light 240 from parallax barrier 104 to generate filtered light 110 to include one or more images. Each pixel of pixel array 222 may be a separately addressable filter (e.g., a pixel of a plasma display, an LCD display, an LED display, or of other type of display). Each pixel of pixel array 208 may be individually controllable to vary the color imposed on the corresponding light passing through, and/or to vary the intensity of the passed light in filtered light 110. In an embodiment, each pixel of pixel array 222 may include a plurality of sub-pixels that correspond to separate color channels, such as a trio of red, green, and blue sub-pixels included in each pixel.
  • Display controller 202 of FIG. 2B is configured to generate control signals to enable display device 260 to display two-dimensional and three-dimensional images to users 218 in viewing space 106. For example, light source controller 230 within display controller 202 controls the amount of light emitted by each light source in light element array 236 by generating a control signal 234 that is received by light element array 236. Control signal 234 may include one or more control signals used to control the amount of light emitted by each light source in light element array 236 to generate light 238. As described above, barrier array controller 206 is configured to generate control signal 216 received by barrier element array 210. Control signal 216 may include one or more control signals used to cause each of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent or opaque, to filter light 238 to generate filtered light 240. Pixel array controller 228 is configured to generate a control signal 232 that is received by pixel array 222. Control signal 232 may include one or more control signals used to cause pixels of pixel array 208 to impose desired images (e.g., colors, grayscale, etc.) on filtered light 240 as it passes through pixel array 208. In this manner, pixel array 222 generates filtered light 110 that includes one or more two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional images that may be viewed by users 218 in viewing space 106.
  • For example, control signal 234 may control sets of light sources of light element array 236 to emit light 238. Control signal 216 may control barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 210 to filter light 238 received from light element array 236 to enable filtered light 240 to enable two- and/or three-dimensionality. Control signal 232 may control sets of pixels of pixel array 222 to filter filtered light 240 according to respective images, to provide a plurality of images. For instance, in a first mode, control signal 216 may select the barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent, to transmit a two-dimensional image to users 218. Furthermore, in a second mode, control signal 216 may control sections of barrier element array 210 to include opaque and transparent barrier elements 304 to filter the light received from light element array 236 so that a pair of images provided by pixel array 222 is received by users 218 as a corresponding as three-dimensional image. For example, control signal 216 may select parallel strips of barrier elements 304 of barrier element array 302 to be transparent to form slits that enable three-dimensional images to be received by users 218.
  • Two-dimensional and three-dimensional images may be generated by system 100 of FIG. 1 in various ways, in embodiments. For instance, FIG. 6 shows a flowchart 600 for generating images that are delivered to users in a viewing space, according to an example embodiment. Flowchart 600 may be performed by system 200 in FIG. 2A or system 220 of FIG. 2B, for example. Flowchart 600 is described with respect to FIG. 7, which shows a cross-sectional view of a display system 700. Display system 700 is an example embodiment of system 200 shown in FIG. 2A, and is shown for purposes of illustration. As shown in FIG. 7, system 700 includes a pixel array 702 and a barrier element array 704. In another embodiment, system 700 may further include backlighting in a configuration similar to display system 220 of FIG. 2B. Further structural and operational embodiments will be apparent to persons skilled in the relevant art(s) based on the discussion regarding flowchart 600. Flowchart 600 is described as follows.
  • Flowchart 600 begins with step 602. In step 602, light is received at an array of barrier elements. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, light 252 is received at parallax barrier 104 from pixel array 208 of image generator 102. Each pixel of pixel array 208 may generate light that is received at parallax barrier 104. As described as follows, depending on the particular display mode of parallax barrier 104, parallax barrier 104 may filter light 252 from pixel array 208 to generate a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image viewable in viewing space 106 by users 218. As described above with respect to FIG. 2B, alternatively, light 238 may be received by parallax barrier 104 from light element array 236.
  • In step 604, the array of barrier elements is configured into a first parallax barrier configuration that has a first set of the barrier elements of the array of barrier elements in the blocking state and a second set of the barrier elements of the array of barrier elements in the non-blocking state to provide the viewer located at a first position with a three-dimensional view. In a three-dimensional mode for display system 100 of FIG. 1, a three-dimensional image may be desired to be viewable in viewing space 106. In such case, referring to FIG. 2A or 2B, barrier array controller 206 may generate control signal 216 to configure barrier element array 210 to include transparent strips of barrier elements to enable a three-dimensional view to be formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, barrier element array 704 includes a plurality of barrier elements that are each either transparent (in a non-blocking state) or opaque (in a blocking state). Barrier elements that are blocking are indicated as barrier elements 710 a-710 f, and barrier elements that are non-blocking are indicated as barrier elements 712 a-712 e. Further barrier elements may be included in barrier element array 704 that are not visible in FIG. 7. Each of barrier elements 710 a-710 f and 712 a-712 e may include one or more barrier elements. Barrier elements 710 alternate with barrier elements 712 in series in the order of barrier elements 710 a, 712 a, 710 b, 712 b, 710 c, 712 c, 710 d, 712 d, 710 e, 712 e, and 710 f. In this manner, blocking barrier elements 710 are alternated with non-blocking barrier elements 712 to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking or transparent slits in barrier element array 704.
  • For instance, FIG. 8A shows a view of parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 3 with transparent slits, according to an example embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8A, parallax barrier 300 includes barrier element array 302, which includes a plurality of barrier elements 304 arranged in a two-dimensional array. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8A, barrier element array 302 includes a plurality of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be non-blocking to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking strips (or “slits”) 802 a-802 g. As shown in FIG. 8A, parallel non-blocking strips 802 a-802 g (non-blocking slits) are alternated with parallel opaque or blocking strips 804 a-804 g of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be blocking. In the example of FIG. 8A, non-blocking strips 802 a-802 g and blocking strips 804 a-804 g each have a width (along the x-dimension) of two barrier elements 304, and have lengths that extend along the entire y-dimension (twenty barrier elements 304) of barrier element array 304, although in other embodiments, may have alternative dimensions. Non-blocking strips 802 a-802 g and blocking strips 804 a-804 g form a parallax barrier configuration for parallax barrier 300. The spacing (and number) of parallel non-blocking strips 802 in barrier element array 704 may be selectable by choosing any number and combination of particular strips of barrier elements 304 in barrier element array 302 to be non-blocking, to be alternated with blocking strips 804, as desired.
  • FIG. 8B shows a parallax barrier 310 that is another example of barrier element array 704 with parallel transparent slits, according to an embodiment. Similarly to parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 8A, parallax barrier 310 has includes a barrier element array 312, which includes a plurality of barrier elements 314 arranged in a two-dimensional array (28 by 1 array). Barrier elements 314 have widths (along the x-dimension) similar to the widths of barrier elements 304 in FIG. 8A, but have lengths that extend along the entire vertical length (y-dimension) of barrier element array 314. As shown in FIG. 8B, barrier element array 312 includes parallel non-blocking strips 802 a-802 g alternated with parallel blocking strips 804 a-804 g. In the example of FIG. 8B, parallel non-blocking strips 802 a-802 g and parallel blocking strips 804 a-804 g each have a width (along the x-dimension) of two barrier elements 314, and have lengths that extend along the entire y-dimension (one barrier element 314) of barrier element array 312.
  • The light received from the array of pixels is filtered according to the particular parallax barrier configuration to form at least one image in a viewing space. Barrier element array 210 of parallax barrier 210 is configured to filter light 252 received from pixel array 208 (FIG. 2A) or light 238 received from light element array 236 (FIG. 2B) according to whether barrier element array 210 is transparent or non-blocking (e.g., in a two-dimensional mode) or includes parallel non-blocking strips (e.g., in a three-dimensional mode). If barrier element array 210 is transparent (e.g., as shown for barrier element array 302 in FIG. 3), barrier element array 210 functions as an “all pass” filter to substantially pass all of light 252 as filtered light 110 to deliver the two-dimensional image generated by pixel array 208 to viewing space 106, to be viewable as a two-dimensional image in a similar fashion as a conventional display. If barrier element array 210 includes parallel non-blocking strips (e.g., as shown for barrier element array 302 in FIGS. 8A and 8B), barrier element array 210 passes a portion of light 252 as filtered light 110 to deliver a three-dimensional image to viewing space 106.
  • For example, as shown in FIG. 7, pixel array 702 includes a plurality of pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d. Pixels 714 alternate with pixels 716, such that pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d are arranged in series in the order of pixels 714 a, 716 a, 714 b, 716 b, 714 c, 716 c, 714 d, and 716 d. Further pixels may be included in pixel array 702 that are not visible in FIG. 7, including further pixels along the width dimension of pixel array 702 (e.g., in the left-right directions) as well as pixels along a length dimension of pixel array 702 (not visible in FIG. 7). Each of pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d generates light, which emanates from display surface 724 of pixel array 702 (e.g., generally upward in FIG. 7) towards barrier element array 704. Some example indications of light emanating from pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d are shown in FIG. 7 (as dotted lines), including light 724 a and light 718 a emanating from pixel 714 a, light 724 b, light 718 b, and light 724 c emanating from pixel 714 b, etc.
  • Furthermore, light emanating from pixel array 702 is filtered by barrier element array 704 to form a plurality of images in a viewing space 726, including a first image 706 a at a first location 708 a and a second image 706 b at a second location 708 b. A portion of the light emanating from pixel array 702 is blocked by blocking barrier elements 710, while another portion of the light emanating from pixel array 702 passes through non-blocking barrier elements 712, according to the filtering by barrier element array 704. For instance, light 724 a from pixel 714 a is blocked by blocking barrier element 710 a, and light 724 b and light 724 c from pixel 714 b are blocked by blocking barrier elements 710 b and 710 c, respectively. In contrast, light 718 a from pixel 714 a is passed by non-blocking barrier element 712 a and light 718 b from pixel 714 b is passed by non-blocking barrier element 712 b.
  • By forming parallel non-blocking slits in a barrier element array, light from a pixel array can be filtered to form multiple images or views in a viewing space. For instance, system 700 shown in FIG. 7 is configured to form first and second images 706 a and 706 b at locations 708 a and 708 b, respectively, which are positioned at a distance 728 from pixel array 702 (as shown in FIG. 7, further instances of first and second images 706 a and 706 b may be formed in viewing space 726 according to system 700, in a repeating, alternating fashion). As described above, pixel array 702 includes a first set of pixels 714 a-714 d and a second set of pixels 716 a-716 d. Pixels 714 a-714 d correspond to first image 706 a and pixels 716 a-716 d correspond to second image 706 b. Due to the spacing of pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d in pixel array 702, and the geometry of non-blocking barrier elements 712 in barrier element array 704, first and second images 706 a and 706 b are formed at locations 708 a and 708 b, respectively. As shown in FIG. 7, light 718 a-718 d from the first set of pixels 714 a-714 d is focused at location 708 a to form first image 706 a at location 708 a. Light 720 a-720 d from the second set of pixels 716 a-716 d is focused at location 708 b to form second image 706 b at location 708 b.
  • FIG. 7 shows a slit spacing 722 (center-to-center) of non-blocking barrier elements 712 in barrier element array 704. Spacing 722 may be determined to select locations for parallel non-blocking slits to be formed in barrier element array 704 for a particular image distance 728 at which images are desired to be formed (for viewing by users). For example, in an embodiment, if a spacing of pixels 714 a-714 d corresponding to an image is known, and a distance 728 at which the image is desired to be displayed is known, the spacing 722 between adjacent parallel non-blocking slits in barrier element array 704 may be selected. As shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, barrier array controller 206 (of FIG. 2A or 2B) may include a slit spacing calculator 902. Slit spacing calculator 902 is configured to calculate spacing 722 for a particular spacing of pixels and a desired distance for the corresponding image to be formed, according to corresponding parallax barrier configurations.
  • For instance, FIG. 10 shows an example display system 1000, according to an example embodiment. Display system 1000 is generally similar to system 700 shown in FIG. 7, and includes pixel array 702 and barrier element array 704. Pixel array 702 includes pixels 714 a-714 d and 716 a-716 d, and barrier element array 704 includes blocking barrier elements 710 a-710 f and non-blocking barrier elements 712 a-712 e. An image 1002 is desired to be formed at an image distance 1004 from pixel array 702 based on pixels 714 a-714 d. Barrier element array 704 is separated from pixel array 702 by a distance 1012. Adjacent pixels of pixels 714 a-714 d (corresponding to the desired image) are separated by a pixel separation distance 1006. Spacing 722 for adjacent non-blocking barrier elements 712 a-712 e (corresponding to non-blocking slits) is desired to be selected to enable image 1002 to be formed at distance 1004 from pixel array 702. For the configuration of display system 1000 in FIG. 10, the following equation (Equation 1) holds:

  • distance 1006/distance 1004=spacing 722/(distance 1004−distance 1012)  Equation 1
  • As such, spacing 722 may be calculated (e.g., by slit spacing calculator 902) according to Equation 2 shown below, where slit spacing 722 is less than pixel separation distance 1006:

  • spacing 722=distance 1006×(distance 1004−distance 1012)/distance 1004  Equation 2
  • For instance, in one example embodiment, distance 1006 may equal 1.0 mm, distance 1004 may equal 2.0 meters, and distance 1012 may equal 5.0 mm. In such an example, spacing 722 may be calculated according to Equation 2 as follows:

  • spacing 722=1.0×(2000−5)/2000=0.9975 mm
  • In the above example, the centers of adjacent non-blocking barrier elements 712 a-712 e may be separated by spacing 722 of 0.9975 mm to form image 1002 at 2.0 meters from pixel array 702. As shown in FIG. 10, light 1010 a-1010 d emanated by pixels 714 a-714 d, as filtered by barrier element array 704, forms image 1002 at location 1008. Separating the centers of adjacent non-blocking barrier elements 712 a-712 e by 0.9975 mm (or other determined distance) may be accomplished in various ways, depending on the particular configuration of barrier element array 704. For instance, in this example, a single barrier element width non-blocking slit may be formed in barrier element array 704 every 0.9975 mm. Alternatively, a non-blocking slit may be formed in barrier element array 704 every 0.9975 mm having a width of more than one barrier element.
  • For example, if spacing 722 corresponds to the width of two barrier elements, single non-blocking barrier elements 712 having a width of 0.9975/2=0.4988 mm may be alternated with single blocking barrier elements 710 having the width of 0.4988 mm in barrier element array 704. Alternatively, if spacing 722 corresponds to the width of more than two barrier elements, one or more non-blocking barrier elements may be alternated with one or more blocking barrier elements to for non-blocking slits every 0.9975 mm. In one example, single non-blocking barrier elements 712 having a width of 0.9975/399=0.0025 mm may be alternated with three hundred and ninety-eight blocking barrier elements 710 each having the width of 0.0025 mm in barrier element array 704. In another example, ten non-blocking barrier elements 712 each having a width of 0.0025 mm may be alternated with three hundred and eighty-nine blocking barrier elements 710 each having the width of 0.0025 mm in barrier element array 704.
  • Thus, referring to FIG. 7, first and second images 706 a and 706 b may be formed by display system 700 at a distance 728 from pixel array 702 by calculating a value for slit spacing 722 as described above. Equation 2 is provided as one example technique for selecting non-blocking slit spacing, for purposes of illustration. Alternatively, other techniques may be used to calculate and/or determine values for slit spacing 722. For instance, in an embodiment, a lookup table that includes pre-calculated values for slit spacing 722 may be maintained by barrier array controller 206. The lookup table may be used to look up values for slit spacing 722 for corresponding values of image distance 1004 and pixel spacing 1006.
  • It is noted that in the examples of FIGS. 7 and 10, pixel array 702 and barrier element array 704 are each shown as being substantially planar. In other embodiments, pixel array 702 and/or barrier element array 704 may be curved (e.g., concave or convex relative to viewing space 726). As such, equations, lookup tables, etc., used to calculate values for slit spacing 722 and/or other parameters of a display system may be configured to account for such curvature, in a manner as would be known to persons skilled in the relevant art(s).
  • First and second images 706 a and 706 b are configured to be perceived by a user as a three-dimensional image or view. For example, FIG. 11 shows display system 700 of FIG. 7, where a user 1104 receives first image 706 a at a first eye location 1102 a and second image 706 b at a second eye location 1102 b, according to an example embodiment. First and second images 706 a and 706 b may be generated by first set of pixels 714 a-714 d and second set of pixels 716 a-716 d as images that are slightly different perspective from each other. Images 706 a and 706 b are combined in the visual center of the brain of user 1104 to be perceived as a three-dimensional image or view.
  • In such an embodiment, first and second images 706 a and 706 b may be formed by display system 700 such that their centers are spaced apart a width of a user's pupils (e.g., an “interocular distance” 1106). For example, the spacing of first and second images 706 a and 706 b may be approximately 65 mm (or other suitable spacing) to generally be equivalent to interocular distance 1106. As described above, multiple instances of first and second images 706 a and 706 b may be formed by display system 700 that repeat in a viewing space. Thus, first and second images 706 a and 706 b shown in FIG. 11 that coincide with the left and right eyes of user 1104 may be adjacent first and second images 706 a and 706 b of the repeating instances that are separated by interocular distance 1106. Alternatively, first and second images 706 a and 706 b shown in FIG. 11 coinciding with the left and right eyes of user 1104 may be separated by one or more instances of first and second images 706 a and 706 b of the repeating instances that happen to be separated by interocular distance 1106.
  • Referring back to FIG. 6, in step 606, the array of barrier elements is configured into a second parallax barrier configuration that includes a third set of the barrier elements of the array of barrier elements in the blocking state and a fourth set of the barrier elements of the array of barrier elements in the non-blocking state to provide the viewer located at a second position with the three-dimensional view. For example, user 1102 of FIG. 11 may change positions in viewing space 106 (FIG. 1), and as such parallax barrier 104 may adapt to a different parallax barrier configuration to cause the three-dimensional view to be moved from the first position of user 1102 to the second position of user 1102. In such case, referring to FIG. 2A or 2B, barrier array controller 206 may generate control signal 216 to configure barrier element array 210 to include transparent strips of barrier elements configured to enable the three-dimensional view to be formed at the second position. The next subsection describes example embodiments for configuring barrier element array 210 into a second configuration, according to step 606, and into further configurations of blocking and non-blocking states to provide viewers with three-dimensional views.
  • Furthermore, although FIGS. 7 and 11 show display system 700 having a configuration similar to display system 200 of FIG. 2A, alternatively, display system 700 may be configured similarly to display system 220 of FIG. 2B to generate images 706 a and 706 b in viewing space 726. In such an embodiment, barrier element array 704 may be positioned between a backlighting panel (that is positioned where pixel array 702 is shown in FIGS. 7 and 10) and pixel array 702, and pixel array 702 is configured as a light filter (is not light emitting). The backlighting panel emits light that is filtered by barrier element array 704 as described above, and the filtered light is filtered by pixel array 702 to impose images on the light filtered by pixel array 702, forming images 706 a and 706 b as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10.
  • As described, in an embodiment, display system 700 may be configured to generate a two-dimensional image for viewing by users in a viewing space. For example, flowchart 600 (FIG. 6) may optionally include a step 1202 shown in FIG. 12 to enable a two-dimensional view to be delivered to users, according to an embodiment. In step 1202, the array of barrier elements is configured into a third configuration to deliver a two-dimensional view. For example, in the third configuration, barrier array controller 206 may generate control signal 216 to configure each barrier element of barrier element array 210 to be in the non-blocking state (transparent). In such case, barrier element array 210 may be configured similarly to barrier element array 302 shown in FIG. 3, where all barrier elements 304 are selected to be non-blocking. If barrier element array 210 is transparent, barrier element array 210 functions as an “all pass” filter to substantially pass all of light 252 (FIG. 2A) or light 238 (FIG. 2B) as filtered light 110 to deliver the two-dimensional image generated by pixel array 208 to viewing space 106, to be viewable as a two-dimensional image in a similar fashion as a conventional display.
  • B. Example Parallax Barrier Configurations
  • As described above, various characteristics of parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 3 may be modified to provide various parallax barrier configurations that deliver three-dimensional views with different characteristics and/or at different locations (e.g., at a changed viewer position). For instance, FIG. 13 shows a step 1302 that may be performed in step 606 of flowchart 600 (FIG. 6) to provide a second or subsequent parallax barrier configuration, according to example embodiments. In step 1302, at least one of a distance between adjacent non-blocking slits of the plurality of parallel non-blocking slits or a width of at least one non-blocking slit of the plurality of parallel non-blocking slits is modified. For example, referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, a distance between adjacent non-blocking strips 802 (e.g., center-to-center slit spacing 722 of FIG. 7 and/or a width of one or more blocking strips 804) may be modified and/or a width of one or more non-blocking strips 802 may be modified. These and/or further parallax barrier parameters may be configured in any number of ways to create multiple additional parallax barrier configurations that each have a corresponding set of the barrier elements in the blocking state and a corresponding set of barrier elements in the non-blocking state to support a viewer located at any number of corresponding positions.
  • For instance, FIG. 14 shows a view of parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 3, according to an example embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, parallax barrier 300 includes barrier element array 302, which includes a plurality of barrier elements 304 arranged in a two-dimensional array. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, barrier element array 302 includes a plurality of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be non-blocking to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking strips 1402 a-1402 e. As shown in FIG. 14, parallel non-blocking strips 1402 a-1402 e are alternated with parallel blocking strips 1404 a-1404 f of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be blocking. In the example of FIG. 14, non-blocking strips 1402 a-1402 e each have a width (along the x-dimension) of two barrier elements 304, and blocking strips 1404 a-1404 f each have a width of three barrier elements 304. Thus, relative to FIGS. 8A and 8B, where blocking strips 804 a-804 g each have a width of two barrier elements 304, blocking strips 1404 a-1404 g have been modified to be wider to form another parallax barrier configuration.
  • In embodiments, blocking strips may be modified to be wider or narrower by any desired number of barrier elements 304, including a single barrier element (as in FIG. 14 versus FIG. 8A) or multiple barrier elements, including tens, hundreds, or even further numbers of barrier elements. A width of the blocking strips may be modified for various reasons. For example, the width of the blocking strips may be modified to be wider to reduce a resolution and/or an intensity of the display image(s), to increase a distance at which views are delivered, and/or to modify lateral positions of delivered views. Alternatively, the width of the blocking strips may be modified to be narrower to increase a resolution and/or an intensity of the display image(s), to decrease a distance at which views are delivered, and/or to modify lateral positions of delivered views.
  • For instance, FIG. 15 shows a display system 1500, according to an example embodiment. System 1500 is generally similar to system 700 of FIG. 7, with differences described as follows. As shown in FIG. 15, system 1500 includes a pixel array 1502 and a barrier element array 1504. System 1500 may also include display controller 202 of FIG. 2, which is not shown in FIG. 15 for ease of illustration. Pixel array 1502 includes a first set of pixels 1514 a-1514 d and a second set of pixels 1516 a-1516 d. First set of pixels 1514 a-1514 d and second set of pixels 1516 a-1516 d are configured to generate corresponding images or views that can be combined to be perceived as a single three-dimensional image or view. Pixels of the two sets of pixels are alternated in pixel array 1502 in the order of pixel 1514 a, pixel 1516 a, pixel 1514 b, pixel 1516 b, etc. Further pixels may be included in each set of pixels in pixel array 1502 that are not visible in FIG. 15, including hundreds, thousands, or millions of pixels in each set of pixels.
  • As shown in FIG. 15, barrier element array 1504 includes barrier elements that are each either transparent or opaque. As shown in FIG. 15, barrier elements that are blocking are indicated as barrier elements 1510 a-1510 f, and barrier elements that are non-blocking are indicated as barrier elements 1512 a-1512 e. Blocking barrier elements 1510 are alternated with non-blocking barrier elements 1512 to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking slits in barrier element array 1504, similarly to barrier element array 304 shown in FIG. 8A. Light emanating from pixel array 1502 is filtered by barrier element array 1504 to form first and second images 1506 a and 1506 b at locations 1508 a and 1508 b, respectively, in a manner as described above. As shown in FIG. 15, barrier elements 1512 a-1512 e are each wider relative to barrier elements 710 a-710 f of FIG. 7, while a spacing of pixels 1514 a-1514 d is similar to the spacing of pixels 714 a-714 d in FIG. 7. As such, a distance 1524 at which first and second images 1506 a and 1506 b are formed from pixel array 1502 is greater than distance 728 at which first and second images 706 a and 706 b are formed from pixel array 702 in FIG. 7. In this manner, if user 1104 (FIG. 11) has moved from a first position in viewing space 106 at distance 728 to a second position in viewing space 106 at distance 1524, the three-dimensional view may still be delivered to user 1104 by reconfiguring parallax barrier 704 from a first configuration to a second configuration. Configurations of parallax barrier 704 may enable views to be delivered to user 1104 at lesser and greater distances than distance 728.
  • For example, Equation 2 shown above may be rewritten as Equation 3 shown below to solve for distance 1004 in FIG. 10 as factor of spacing 722:

  • distance 1004=(distance 1006×distance 1012)/(distance 1006−spacing 722)  Equation 3
  • As indicated by Equation 3, if spacing 722 is less than the value of distance 1006, and is increased towards the value of distance 1006, distance 1004 increases. If spacing 722 is less than the value of distance 1006, and is decreased further from the value of distance 1006, distance 1004 decreases.
  • As indicated in step 1302 (FIG. 13), a width of one or more non-blocking slits in a barrier element array may be modified. For example, FIG. 16 shows a view of parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 3 with a different width of non-blocking slits, according to an example embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, parallax barrier 300 includes barrier element array 302, which includes a plurality of barrier elements 304 arranged in a two-dimensional array. Barrier element array 302 includes a plurality of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be non-blocking to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking strips 1602. As shown in FIG. 16, parallel non-blocking strips 1602 are alternated with parallel blocking strips 1604 of barrier elements 304. In the example of FIG. 16, non-blocking strips 1602 each have a width (along the x-dimension) of one barrier element 304, and blocking strips 1604 each have a width of one barrier element 304.
  • Thus, in embodiments, a width of non-blocking slits in a barrier element may be modified. The width of the non-blocking slits may be modified to have any width of one or more barrier elements 304. The widths of non-blocking slits may be widened or narrowed for various reasons, including decreasing or increasing display resolution, decreasing or increasing clarity of images generated by one or more portions of the barrier element array, etc.
  • C. Example Image Orientation Embodiments
  • As described above, in embodiments, parallel non-blocking slits may be implemented in a barrier element array to generate three-dimensional images. In such an embodiment, the slits are oriented such that an axis that crosses through both eyes of a user (e.g., user 1104 in FIG. 11) is perpendicular to an axis along the length of the non-blocking slits. As such, a user sitting or standing in a viewing space sits or stands such that their body is generally aligned parallel to the non-blocking slits. Thus, in an embodiment, an orientation of the non-blocking slits of a barrier element array may be selected to be aligned with the body of a user. Furthermore, the orientation of non-blocking slits of a barrier element array may be selected on a section-by-section of the barrier element array basis. Each section of the barrier element array may include non-blocking slits that are aligned with a corresponding user to provide a three-dimensional image to that user.
  • For instance, FIG. 17 shows a step 1702 that may be performed during flowchart 600, according to example embodiments. In step 1702, each non-blocking slit of the plurality of parallel non-blocking slits is oriented at a selected angle relative to an axis of the barrier element array. For instance, FIGS. 18 and 19 show views of parallax barrier 300 of FIG. 3 with non-blocking slits having alternative orientations, according to an example embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, parallax barrier 300 includes barrier element array 302, which includes a plurality of barrier elements 304 arranged in a two-dimensional array. Barrier element array 302 includes a plurality of parallel strips of barrier elements 304 that are selected to be non-blocking to form a plurality of parallel non-blocking strips 1802 (each having a width of one barrier elements 304). As shown in FIG. 18, parallel non-blocking strips 1802 are alternated with parallel blocking strips 1804 of barrier elements 304 (each having a width of two barrier elements 304). Parallel non-blocking strips 1802 are oriented in a first direction along a horizontal axis of barrier element array 302.
  • In FIGS. 8A and 8B, parallel non-blocking strips 802 are oriented vertically, and thus may be configured to generate a three-dimensional image in a viewing space (as described above) to be viewable by a user whose body is oriented vertically (e.g., sitting upright or standing up). In FIG. 18, parallel non-blocking strips 1802 are oriented perpendicularly to parallel non-blocking strips 802 of FIGS. 8A and 8B. As such, parallel non-blocking strips 1802 may be configured to generate a three-dimensional image in a viewing space (as described above) to be viewable by a user whose body is oriented horizontally (e.g., laying down). In this manner, users who are oriented differently relative to each other can still each be provided with a corresponding three-dimensional image that accommodates their position.
  • As such, horizontally and vertically oriented three-dimensional images may be enabled by barrier element array 304 by corresponding parallax barrier configurations. Furthermore, barrier element array 304 may enable three-dimensional images of any orientation to be provided, including any angle between horizontal and vertical, by providing parallel non-blocking strips in barrier element array 302 of the desired angle (and by providing corresponding pixels in the pixel array arranged according to the desired angle). For example, FIG. 19 shows parallax barrier 300, with barrier element array 302 including a plurality of parallel non-blocking strips 1902 (each having a width of one barrier element 304). As shown in FIG. 18, parallel non-blocking strips 1902 are alternated with parallel blocking strips 1904 of barrier elements 304 (each having a width of five barrier elements 304). Parallel non-blocking strips 1902 are oriented at an acute angle 1906 (an angle between zero and 90 degrees) relative to the horizontal axis 1908 of barrier element array 302. In embodiments, angle 1906 may have any value, to enable a user oriented at substantially the same angle to be provided with a corresponding three-dimensional image that accommodates their position, according to a corresponding parallax barrier configuration.
  • D. Example Viewer Position Determining and Image Tuning Embodiments
  • As described above, parallax barriers may be reconfigured to change the locations of delivered views based on changing viewer positions. As such, a position of a viewer may be determined/tracked so that a parallax barrier may be reconfigured to deliver views consistent with the changing position of the viewer. In embodiments, a position of a viewer may be determined/tracked by determining a position of the viewer directly, or by determining a position of a device associated with the viewer (e.g., a device worn by the viewer, held by the viewer, sitting in the viewer's lap, in the viewer's pocket, sitting next the viewer, etc.).
  • For instance, FIG. 20 shows a block diagram of a display environment 2000, according to an example embodiment.

Display device 2002 and/or remote device 2004 may operate to provide position information 2010 regarding user 2006 to display device 2002. Display device 2002 may use position information 2010 to reconfigure a parallax barrier of display device 2002 to enable view 2008 to be delivered to viewer 2006 at various positions for viewer 2006. For example, display device 2002 and/or remote device 2004 may use positioning techniques to track the position of viewer 2006.

These elements of display device 2002 are described as follows.
  • When present, microphone array 2208 includes one or more microphones that may be positioned in various microphone locations in and/or around display device 2002 to capture sounds (e.g., voice) from viewer 2006. Microphone array 2208 produces signals representative of the received sounds, which may be received by position calculator 2206.

For example, position calculator 2206 may use voice recognition techniques to determine that the sounds are received from viewer 2006, and may perform audio localization techniques to determine a position of viewer 2006 based on the sounds.
  • Camera(s) 2210 may be present in display device 2002 to enable optical position detection of viewer 2006. For example, camera(s) 2210 may be pointed from display device 2002 to viewing space 106 to capture images of viewer 2006 and/or remote device 2004.
