Controlled moire effect in multiview three-dimensional displays: image quality and image generation

Abstract

Approaches to control the moir&eacute

effect are discussed. To improve the image quality, especially in the autostereoscopic three-dimensional displays, the minimization of the moir&eacute

effect is considered, including the minimization by angle, by period, by distance, etc. Also, less known nontraditional but effective approaches, such as spectral trajectories, statistical treatment, convolution-based minimization, and the amplitude of the moir&eacute

patterns, are at issue. On the other hand, the maximum moir&eacute

can be useful in displays. A proposed “2.5-D” display represents a new type of displays, the displays based on the moir&eacute

effect as on the main physical principle. As of today, binary black-and-white images are displayed, but this is not a principal limit and color imaging is also possible. A positive usage of the moir&eacute

effect to show images instead of its removal may be considered as an approach in displaying.
