Horizontal-parallax-only light field 3D display based on stacked LCDs

The horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) compressed light field 3D display based on stacked LCDs is presented in this paper. The backlight of this 3D display is steered to diffuse only in horizontal direction to make the rays transmit in horizontal plane between multiple LCDs. It will significantly reduce the computation complexity of the optimization in the generation of the display images. The simulation results are given to verify this novel method of light field display. And the observed images for the viewers are also analyzed to evaluate the display.
