Autostereoscopic display
First Claim
1. An apparatus for displaying an image to an observer comprising:
- a display screen upon which stripes of the image appear in at least three distinct phases;
a light blocking shutter disposed in front of the display screen forming a stripe pattern which lets through only ⅓
of each stripe of the image on the display screen during each of the at least three distinct phases;
a computer connected to the display screen and the light blocking shutter which changes the phases so in each phase the stripe pattern is shifted laterally, which renders 2 3D scenes corresponding to the eyes of the observer, which produces a proper left/right orientation pattern for each of the three phases and which interleaves the left/right orientations into three successive time phases as red, green and blue, respectively; and
an eye tracker for identifying the locations of the observers'"'"' eyes and providing the location to the computer.

Abstract
An apparatus for displaying an image to an observer. The apparatus comprises a display screen upon which stripes of the image appear in at least three distinct phases. The apparatus comprises a light blocking shutter disposed in front of the display screen forming a stripe pattern which lets through only ⅓ of each stripe of the image on the display screen during each of the at least three distinct phases.

7. A method for displaying an image to an observer comprising the steps of:
-
identifying locations of the observer'"'"'s eyes with an eye tracker;
sending the locations to a computer with the eye tracker;
rendering two 3D scenes, one for each eye and for each of the three phases, a proper left/right alteration pattern which are interleaved into three successive time phases as red, green and blue, respectively;
displaying on a display screen stripes of the image in at least three distinct phases; and
forming a stripe pattern which lets through only ⅓
of each stripe of the image on the display screen during each of the at least three distinct phases with a light blocking shutter disposed in front of the screen. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
