Outline of Final Research Achievements

Multiscopic pixels are pixels whose intensities or colors change as the angles of viewing vary. Two-dimensional arrays of multiscopic pixels have been utilized in autostereoscopic displays, such as lenticular displays, as the devices to deliver viewer-position-dependent images of 3D scenes. In this study, we proposed and investigated a new method of autostereoscopy using a stack of semitransparent panels consisting of multiscopic pixels. By using multiple panels rather than a single panel, the resulting autostereoscopic display was able to outperform the lenticular display built on the same panel. The display was also shown to overcome the problems of multilayer displays, which occasionally exhibited images that were visually inconsistent with each other.
