Claims3
A three-dimensional (3D) television (TV) picture receiving system including cabinet, said single cabinet adapted to completely house said receiving system comprising:
- an image producing device for producing an electronically received image;
- means for mounting said image producing device within said cabinet;
- said image producing device being a cathode ray tube (CRT);
- said CRT having a full-silvered, light reflecting side internal of said tube and a light transparent side opposite to said full-silvered side for transmitting said produced image off to the side of said CRT while retaining said image within the confines of said cabinet, said cabinet adapted to mount said CRT off to one side of the other components mounted therewithin;
- a reconstructing plate mounted within said cabinet for display of the image produced by said CRT;
- means for mounting said reconstructing plate internal to the said cabinet;
- at least one device for producing coherent light;
- means for mounting therewithin said cabinet said light device;
- one said mounting means for each said light device;
- said mounting means adapted to allow said components to shine said coherent light upon said image being displayed upon with reconstructing plate;
- magnifying lens for externally presenting said internally received and reconstructed 3D TV picture to a viewer;
- means for mounting said lens to perform said function;
- a minimum of one audio speaker to provide sound simultaneously to the picture;
- and
- means for mounting said speaker, one means for each speaker extant, to allow said speaker to perform said function.
