US 2011/0216171 A1 · SCREEN AND METHOD FOR REPRESENTING PICTURE INFORMATION

Abstract

A method for representing picture information on an autostereoscopic screen that is designed as a multiperson screen and that is suitable for the simultaneous display of a plurality of views which are visible in each case from at least one of different observation zones. The screen includes a matrix screen having a plurality of pixels as well as a beam splitter raster that is suitable for guiding light coming from the pixels, in each case into at least one of the observation zones. In the method, the pixels are activated with picture information of at least two different scenes, in a manner such that a first observer of the screen may exclusively see a first of the at least two scenes and a second observer of the screen may exclusively see a second of the at least two scenes.

A method for representing picture information on an autostereoscopic screen that is designed as a multi-person screen and that is suitable for the simultaneous display of a plurality of more than two views which are visible in each case from at least one of different observations zones laterally displaced to one another, the screen including a matrix screen having a multitude of pixels and a beam splitter raster is suitable for guiding light coming from the pixels into at least one of the observation zones, the method comprising:

activating the pixels with picture information of at least two different scenes, in a manner such that a first observer of the screen may exclusively see a first of the at least two scenes, and a second observer of the screen may simultaneously exclusively see a second of the at least two scenes.

A screen configured to simultaneously display a plurality of more than two views which are in each case visible from at least one of several laterally displaced observation zones, the screen comprising:

a matrix screen with a multitude of pixels;
a beam splitter raster that is suitable for guiding light coming from the pixels, in each case into at least one of the observation zones;
and
a control unit for activating the pixels of the matrix screen in dependence on picture information;
wherein the control unit is configured to distribute the picture information of a number of pictures of at least two different scenes, said number being lower compared to the mentioned plurality, onto the pixels, in a manner such that at least one coherent zone in front of the screen is assigned to each of these pictures, from which zone exclusively this scene is visible and of which at least one is larger than the individual observation zones.
