Background
With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more fields such as medical imaging, military command, government emergency dispatch and communication media are no longer satisfied with 2D information provided by planar display, and 3D display capable of realizing full parallax, high definition and real reproduction of large viewing angle has become a pursuit target.
Integrated imaging display technology is the most well known light field display technology. The technology is different from the holographic display technology, the integrated imaging utilizes the lens array to display the modulation effect of the 2D display, and the 3D effect with true color can be easily realized. The integrated imaging 3D display technology can simultaneously provide the viewer with parallax in the horizontal and vertical directions and continuously smooth viewpoint information. With development of technology and hardware equipment, the integrated imaging technology not only can display still pictures, but also can collect and reconstruct dynamic images.
The integrated imaging display system can realize full parallax true three-dimensional display at present, and generally needs a light control structure to control the light direction emitted by a two-dimensional display to form a space viewpoint, so that the purpose that left eyes and right eyes respectively receive different parallax images is achieved, and then three-dimensional sense can be formed through brain fusion. Therefore, the free stereo display system generally consists of a 2D display and a light control structure, and performs image coding on 3D content according to specific parameters of the light control structure so as to realize 3D display.
The current integrated imaging technology also has the following problems to be perfected:
(1) Insufficient resolution: in conventional integrated imaging techniques, the resolution of the 3D image depends on the pitch of the lens elements, which needs to be reduced in order to increase the resolution. As the pitch of the lenticular elements decreases, the number of pixels under each lenticular element on the display screen also decreases, so that the number of controllable light rays from the lenticular elements decreases and the quality of the 3D image decreases. Integrated imaging 3D displays based on display screens require higher resolution display screens to compensate for the effects of the small pitch lenticular elements, but higher resolution 2D display screens are currently not available.
(2) The viewing angle is insufficient: the expression of the lens focal length f is:where r is the radius of curvature. According to the principle of lens light control and the triangle geometry relation, the viewing of the 3D stereoscopic display system of the current integrated imaging technology under ideal conditions can be obtained as follows: />In the existing free stereoscopic display, as the lens intercept p is smaller than or equal to two times of curvature radius, the refractive index n is generally 1.5, and the value range theta of theta is smaller than or equal to 52 degrees, namely the stereoscopic viewing angle is smaller, which is obtained according to the two formulas.
(3) The aberration is largely affected: in the integrated imaging technology, the lens array is used for modulating light rays, when the lens array modulates light rays, aberration phenomenon can be generated by the lens, crosstalk between viewpoints can be introduced, namely, the light rays entering one eye enter the other eye, so that ghost image phenomenon and image blurring can be caused, and the quality of three-dimensional stereoscopic display can be reduced.
