Abstract
Recent advances in surface techniques have lead to the development of extremely small (sub-micron) scale features. These techniques allow the formation of polymer micro-lenses as well as variable focus liquid lenses. The present invention primarily concerns the use of small scale lenses for the fabrication of novel displays which exhibit three-dimensional (3D) effects. Both still images and video images (or other motion images) can be generated.
Claims7
A three dimensional imaging system comprising:
- an array of variable focal length liquid micro-lenses formed on a self assembling monolayer (SAM);
- and
- an image having a plurality of image points or pixels;
- each image point or pixel in registered alignment with one or more micro-lenses in the array.
