Abstract
A hybrid scan display comprising a plurality of light emitters for emitting light and a plurality of light modulators operated in binary mode and switching between two states including a light transmitting state for transmitting light a light shielding state for shielding light. Each image is divided in a number of parts, and the sequence of image parts for each image are interleaved resulting in an interleaved sequence.
Claims14
A hybrid scan display for emitting light to a plurality of active viewing zones including a first active viewing zone and a second active viewing zone, the hybrid scan display comprising:
- a plurality of modules, each module having:
- a plurality of light emitters for emitting light,
- a plurality of light modulators,
- each light modulator switching between two states including a light transmitting state for transmitting light from the plurality of light emitters or a light shielding state for shielding light from the plurality of light emitters;
- and
- a controller arranged for scanning of a moving aperture during a multiplexing cycle, the controller arranged for scanning the light emitters and the light modulators during the multiplexing cycle for displaying a plurality of images including a first image to the first active viewing zone and a second image to the second active viewing zone, the controller arranged for dividing each image into a sequence of image parts, each image part constituting a single column of pixels of the image, the sequence of image parts of each image being interleaved into an interleaved sequence, a single image part of an image being displayed when a light modulator is in the light transmitting state.
A hybrid scan display for emitting light to a plurality of active viewing zones including a first active viewing zone and a second active viewing zone, said the hybrid scan display comprising:
- a plurality of light emitters for emitting light;
- a plurality of light modulators;
- each light modulator switching between two states including a light transmitting state for transmitting light from the plurality of light emitters, or a light shielding state for shielding light from the plurality of light emitters;
- and
- an LCD panel for displaying an image, the LCD panel arranged in front of the plurality of light emitters, the plurality of light modulators arranged between the plurality of light emitters and the LCD panel, the plurality of light emitters comprising vertically elongated light emitters, the LCD panel alternating between generating an image for a first active viewing zone and a second active viewing zone.
A system including a multiview display for displaying a first image in a first viewing zone for a first observer, and a second image in a second viewing zone for a second observer, the system comprising:
- an input for inputting when the first observer or when the second observer is a controlling observer of the multiview display;
- and
- a controller arranged for controlling the multiview display, such that the multiview display displays an image comprising a control icon and an essential control icon, and when the essential control icon is actuated, an essential function is activated independently of the input.
