Abstract
An exemplary stereo display apparatus includes a pixel array and a lens array. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixel units arrayed in parallel rows and parallel columns. The lens array covers the pixel array, and includes a plurality of lenticular lens units arrayed in said rows and columns. The lenticular lens units are parallel to each other, and the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns have a stagger arrangement along a first direction along which the pixel units are arrayed in rows, thereby the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns are arranged in terraced steps.
Claims16
A stereo display apparatus, comprising:
- a pixel array comprising a plurality of pixel units arrayed in parallel rows and parallel columns without staggering;
- and
- a lens array covering the pixel array, the lens array comprising a plurality of lenticular lens units arrayed in said rows and columns, the lenticular lens units being parallel to each other and each lenticular lens unit covers at least two adjacent pixels in a same row;
- wherein the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns have a stagger arrangement along a first direction along which the pixel units are arrayed in rows, thereby the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns are arranged in terraced steps and a series of sequentially terraced lenticular lens units, each from a separate row, form an equivalent lenticular lens unit at a tilted angle over corresponding non-staggering pixels of the pixel array;
- and
- wherein the lens array is a liquid crystal lens array.
A lens array for a stereo display apparatus containing a pixel array comprising a plurality of pixel units arrayed in parallel rows and parallel columns without staggering, comprising:
- a plurality of lenticular lens units arrayed in rows and columns, the lenticular lens units being parallel to each other and each lenticular lens unit covers at least two adjacent pixels in a same row;
- wherein the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns have a stagger arrangement along a first direction along which the lenticular lens units are arrayed in rows, thereby the adjacent lenticular lens units arrayed in columns are arranged in terraced steps and a series of sequentially terraced lenticular lens units, each from a separate row, form an equivalent lenticular lens unit at a tilted angle over corresponding non-staggering pixels of the pixel array;
- and
- wherein the lens array is a liquid crystal lens array.
