Abstract
Integral imaging is a promising naked-eye three-dimensional (3D) display technology. However, the intrinsic tradeoff between the wide viewing angle and high resolution refrains its further application. In order to enlarge the viewing angle of integral imaging without sacrificing the resolution, we propose a method that employs two overlapped display panels. An additional display panel has been introduced into the conventional integral imaging. The display area of the additional display panel can be divided into transparent region and information-loaded region. The transparent region is loaded with blank information, allowing light to pass through without modulation. The information-loaded region is opaque, which contains element image array (EIA) and blocks crosstalk, then to establish an additional viewing angle. The combination of these two viewing angles forms an enlarged viewing angle. The experimental results reveal the successful establishment of the additional viewing angle, effectively enlarging the horizontal viewing angle of integral imaging from 8° to 16°. The two-layer display method provides the 3D display system with a higher space-bandwidth product, overcoming the constraints between viewing angle and display resolution.
