## Abstract

A stereo display device includes plural projectors, a lens array, and a concave axicon lens array. The projectors project images to plural viewing regions at an image side. The lens array is disposed between the projectors and the image side. The concave axicon lens array is disposed between the lens array and the image side.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A stereo display device, comprising:
a plurality of projectors configured to project a plurality of different images to a plurality of viewing regions at an image side;
a lens array disposed between the projectors and the image side; and
a concave axicon lens array disposed between the lens array and the image side.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, further comprising a substrate disposed between the lens array and the concave axicon lens array, wherein the lens array and the concave axicon lens array are directly disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate respectively.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, wherein the lens array comprises a plurality of lenses, the concave axicon lens array comprises a plurality of axicon lenses, and a center of each of the lenses is substantially aligned with a center of each of the axicon lenses.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The stereo display device of claim 3, wherein each of the axicon lenses comprises:
a plane surface proximate to the lens array; and
a concave conical surface disposed opposite to the plane surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, wherein the lens array comprises:
a first lenticular lens; and
a second lenticular lens, wherein an extension direction of the first lenticular lens is substantially perpendicular to an extension direction of the second lenticular lens.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The stereo display device of claim 5, further comprising a substrate disposed between the first lenticular lens and the concave axicon lens array, wherein the first lenticular lens and the concave axicon lens array are directly disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate respectively.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The stereo display device of claim 5, wherein a projection of the first lenticular lens and a projection of the second lenticular lens on a plane where the concave axicon lens array located form a plurality of intersection positions, the concave axicon lens array comprises a plurality of axicon lenses, and a center of each of the axicon lenses is substantially aligned with a center of each of the intersection positions.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, further comprising a substrate disposed between the lens array and the concave axicon lens array, wherein the concave axicon lens array comprises a plurality of axicon lenses, and the axicon lenses are disposed on the substrate uniformly.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, wherein the lens array is confocal with the concave axicon lens array.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The stereo display device of claim 9, wherein the lens array comprises at least one lens, the concave axicon lens array comprises at least one axicon lens, and a focal point of the lens is substantially located on a focal line of the axicon lens.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The stereo display device of claim 10, wherein a focal length of the lens array is greater than a focal length of the concave axicon lens array.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, further comprising a first fresnel lens disposed between the projectors and the lens array.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The stereo display device of claim 12, further comprising a second fresnel lens disposed at a side of the concave axicon lens array opposite to the lens array.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, wherein the projectors are arranged on a first plane, the lens array is disposed on a second plane, and the first plane is substantially parallel with the second plane.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The stereo display device of claim 1, further comprising a table, wherein the projectors, the lens array, and the concave axicon lens array are disposed in the table, and the projectors are respectively configured to project the images to the viewing regions out of the table through a surface of the table.
