1. An apparatus comprising:
- an autostereoscopic image selection device comprising a plurality of lenticules; and
an opaque material applied to the autostereoscopic image selection device in gaps between the plurality of lenticules;
wherein the opaque material is applied to the autostereoscopic image selection device in a soft aperturing manner, said soft aperturing manner comprising applying the opaque material such that the opaque material is tapered from the gaps over the plurality of lenticules, wherein tapered from the gaps comprises appearance of the opaque material being gradually reduced from opaque at a center of each gap to transparent at edges of the opaque material.

Abstract
An apparatus including an autostereoscopic image selection device having a plurality of lenticules is provided. The autostereoscopic image selection device has an opaque material applied thereto in gaps between the plurality of lenticules. The opaque material is applied to the autostereoscopic image selection device in a soft aperturing manner, the soft aperturing manner comprising applying the opaque material such that the opaque material is tapered from the gaps over the plurality of lenticules. The opaque material can be applied in accordance with a windowing function.

10. A method for providing an enhanced image selection device, comprising:
-
applying an opaque overcoat material to an image selection device comprising a plurality of lenticules; and removing selected portions of the opaque overcoat material from the image selection device; wherein the applying and removing operate together with the image selection device to provide a tapered opaque coating that obscures portions of the lenticules according to a soft aperturing technique, wherein the tapered opaque coating comprises appearance of the opaque overcoat material being gradually reduced from opaque at a center of each gap between lenticules to transparent at edges of the opaque overcoat material. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for constructing an aperturing device usable with a display, comprising:
-
providing an image selection device comprising a plurality of lenses; applying an overcoat material to the image selection device; and removing a portion of the overcoat material from at least one lens, creating a tapered optical attenuation coated lens array; wherein appearance of the overcoat material on the optical attenuation coated lens array is gradually reduced from opaque at a center of each gap between lenses to transparent at edges of the overcoat material. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
