Adaptive resolution for multi-view display system and method thereof

A system comprising:

• a display device comprising:
• a lenticular layer, the lenticular layer comprising (i) a first side, (ii) a second side opposite the first side, and (iii) particles in a fluid medium between the first and second sides of the lenticular layer, the second side of the lenticular layer comprising lens elements forming a lenticular array;
• and
• a color filter configured to shift in relation to the lenticular layer along a specified axis that is perpendicular to a direction of the lenticular layer from the color filter;
• and
• at least one processor configured to selectively control whether the display device operates in a first mode, a second mode, or a third mode;
• wherein the particles of the lenticular layer are configured to move within the fluid medium such that (i) the lens elements are filled with the particles in the first mode or (ii) the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in the second mode;
• wherein the display device is configured to operate as a directional display in one of the first and second modes and as a single display in another of the first and second modes;
• wherein a shape of the lens elements is adjustable using an actuating force on the lenticular layer;
• and
• wherein the display device is further configured to operate in the third mode as a hybrid display in which a first portion of the display device has a lensing effect enabled and a second portion of the display device has the lensing effect disabled.

A method for controlling a display device comprising a lenticular layer and a color filter, the lenticular layer comprising (i) a first side, (ii) a second side opposite the first side, and (iii) particles in a fluid medium between the first and second sides of the lenticular layer, the second side of the lenticular layer comprising lens elements forming a lenticular array, the method comprising:

• at least one of:
• moving the particles within the fluid medium such that the lens elements are filled with the particles in a first mode;
• or
• moving the particles within the fluid medium such that the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in a second mode;
• adjusting a shape of the lens elements using an actuating force on the lenticular layer;
• shifting the color filter in relation to the lenticular layer along a specified axis that is perpendicular to a direction of the lenticular layer from the color filter;
• operating the display device as a directional display in one of the first and second modes and as a single display in another of the first and second modes;
• and
• operating the display device in a third mode as a hybrid display in which a first portion of the display device has a lensing effect enabled and a second portion of the display device has the lensing effect disabled.
