An autostereoscopic display of the invention includes: an illumination source for producing light of a first polarization and light of a second polarization different from the first polarization; a spatial light modulator for modulating the light of the first polarization and the light of the second polarization from the illumination source; and an optical system for directing the light of the first polarization to a first viewing region and the light of the second polarization to a second viewing region, wherein the spatial light modulator includes: a first polarization adjusting member for transmitting the light of the first polarization and substantially preventing transmission of the light of the second polarization; a second polarization adjusting member for transmitting the light of the second polarization and substantially preventing transmission of the light of the first polarization; and first and second groups of picture elements optically aligned with the first and second polarization adjusting member, respectively.
An autostereoscopic display comprising:
A spatial light modulator including first and second substrates defining therebetween a cell containing a liquid crystal layer, the modulator comprising a plurality of pixels which operate in the same mode and respectively including polarization adjusters disposed within the cell, the pixels being arranged as first and second sets, the polarization adjusters of the pixels of the first set transmitting light of a first polarization between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the polarization adjusters of the pixels of the second set transmitting light of a second polarization which is different from the first polarization between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer.
A spatial light modulator comprising:
