Abstract
A multi view display (5) provides different viewing angles for different images (3, 4). The display (5) may comprise a single screen on which two or more images (3, 4) are interleaved, or a number of overlapping screens on which respective images (3, 4) are displayed. Viewing manipulation means such as privacy films or lenticular arrays control the viewing angles for each image (3, 4). The multiview display (5) may be used in a vehicle, to simultaneously display a movie (3) to a passenger (1), and a navigation image (3) to a driver (2).
Claims21
A multi-component display comprising:
- a first display screen comprising a first plurality of pixels, wherein said first display screen is operable to display a first image using said first plurality of pixels;
- and
- a second display screen comprising a second plurality of pixels, wherein said second display screen is operable to display a second image using said second plurality of pixels, wherein said first and second display screens overlap, and wherein said second display screen is further operable to display said second image for viewing from a first viewing angle and contemporaneously for reducing visibility of said second image from a second viewing angle.
A multi-component display comprising:
- a first display screen comprising a first plurality of pixels, wherein said first display screen is operable to display a first image using said first plurality of pixels;
- and
- a second display screen comprising a second plurality of pixels, wherein said second display screen is operable to display a second image using said second plurality of pixels, wherein said first and second display screens overlap;
- and
- an optical component for manipulating images displayed by said second display screen, wherein said optical component is further operable to enable viewing of said second image from a first viewing angle and contemporaneously operable to reduce visibility of said second image from a second viewing angle, and wherein said optical component is disposed between said first and second display screens.
A multi-component display comprising:
- a first display screen comprising a first plurality of pixels, wherein said first display screen is operable to display a first image using said first plurality of pixels;
- and
- a second display screen comprising a second plurality of pixels, wherein said second display screen is operable to display a second image using said second plurality of pixels, wherein said first and second display screens overlap, wherein said second display screen is further operable to display said second image in a first plurality of regions of said second display screen, wherein said second display screen is further operable to display a third image in a second plurality of regions of said second display screen, wherein said first and second plurality of regions are interlaced, wherein said second image is visible from a first range of viewing angles, and wherein said third image is visible from a second range of viewing angles.
