Abstract
Diese Erfindung beschreibt den Aufbau eines dreidimensionalen Pixels für digitale Bildschirme zur Anzeige von dreidimensionalen Bildern für das bloße Auge. Es besteht aus OLED (organic light emitting diode) Subpixeln, die in einer konvexen Halbkugel dicht aneinander angeordnet sind, vergleichbar mit einem geodätischen Polyeder. Darüber liegt eine Art Rundum-Blickschutzfolie, die verhindert, dass zu viele Subpixel gleichzeitig aus demselben Blickwinkel sichtbar sind. In diese konvexe Halbkugel wird eine facettierte Linse eingesetzt, die jedes einzelne Subpixel auf die Größe des gesamten 3D-Pixels optisch vergrößert. Dadurch wird aus unterschiedlichen Blinkwinkeln auf das 3D-Pixel ein anderes Subpixel sichtbar. Da die beiden Augen des Betrachters in leicht unterschiedlichen Blinkwinkeln auf die 3D-Pixel eines damit zusammengesetzten Bilds blicken, entsteht ein natürliches stereoskopisches Bild, das keiner weiteren Hilfsmittel bedarf, um kontinuierlich dreidimensional auf die Betrachter zu wirken.This invention describes the construction of a three-dimensional pixel for digital screens for displaying three-dimensional images to the naked eye. It consists of OLED (organic light emitting diode) sub-pixels that are arranged close together in a convex hemisphere, comparable to a geodesic polyhedron. On top of this is a kind of all-round privacy screen that prevents too many sub-pixels from being visible at the same time from the same viewing angle. A faceted lens is inserted into this convex hemisphere, which optically enlarges each individual sub-pixel to the size of the entire 3D pixel. As a result, another subpixel becomes visible from different blinking angles on the 3D pixel. Since the viewer's two eyes look at the 3D pixels of a composite image from slightly different angles, a natural stereoscopic image is created that requires no further aids in order to have a continuous three-dimensional effect on the viewer.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft digitale Anzeigen von dreidimensionalen Bildern. Sie wird im Folgenden einfach als 3D-Pixel bezeichnet.The present invention relates to digital displays of three-dimensional images. It is referred to simply as a 3D pixel in the following.
Bekanntermaßen gibt es bereits Technologien zum Erzeugen von 3D-Effekten auf zweidimensionalen Bildschirmen. Darunter die klassische 3D-Brille, die zwei gleichzeitig angezeigte Bilder jeweils nur für das eine oder das andere Auge sichtbar macht. Dies geschieht entweder mithilfe von Farbfiltern, Polarisationsfiltern, oder mit sogenannten Shutterbrillen, die abwechselnd ein Brillenglas abdunkeln und der Bildschirm synchron dazu nur das Bild für das linke oder rechte Auge anzeigt. Ein anderer Ansatz ist das Bild, ohne Notwendigkeit von Brillen, direkt nach der Augenposition des Betrachters auszurichten. Gängige Methoden sind Linsen/Prismen vor den (Sub-)Pixeln, direktionale Farbfilter, oder direktionale Hintergrundbeleuchtung, oder ähnliche Filter- und Blendensysteme mit Subpixeln für jeweils das rechte und linke Auge. Außerdem gibt es Software-gestützte Lösungen, die mit Kameras die Position des Betrachters ermitteln und dann das Bild entsprechend anpassen. Weitere Lösungen verwenden Reihen von geneigten Subpixeln mit Linsen darüber, um Bilder für mehrere Blickwinkel gleichzeitig anzuzeigen. Herangezogene Patente:
Die Aufgabe ist es, dynamische 3D-Bilder zu erzeugen, die keiner weiteren Hilfsmittel bedürfen, um echt zu wirken und realistisch auf die Veränderung der Position des Betrachters zu reagieren. Außerdem sollen alle Beschränkungen bezüglich der Anzahl an gleichzeitigen Betrachtern eliminiert werden. Herkömmliche 3D-Technologien benötigen weitere Hilfsmittel, wie Brillen oder Kameras und sie sind nur in der Lage eine sehr begrenzte Anzahl an Blinkwinkeln darzustellen, nämlich meist nur zwei für das linke und rechte Auge. Außerdem begrenzen die meisten Lösungen, die ohne Brillen funktionieren, stark die Anzahl an gleichzeitigen Betrachtern, wenn der 3D-Effekt für jeden Betrachter gewahrt werden soll. So ist es oft nur für einen einzelnen Betrachter möglich, den 3D-Effekt wahrzunehmen.The task is to generate dynamic 3D images that do not require any additional tools in order to appear real and to react realistically to changes in the viewer's position. In addition, all restrictions on the number of simultaneous viewers should be eliminated. Conventional 3D technologies require additional tools, such as glasses or cameras, and they are only able to display a very limited number of viewing angles, usually only two for the left and right eye. Also, most solutions that work without glasses severely limit the number of simultaneous viewers if the 3D effect is to be preserved for each viewer. So it is often only possible for a single viewer to perceive the 3D effect.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt ein einzelnes 3D-Pixel. Ein damit konstruierter Bildschirm soll die oben genannten Aufgaben lösen. Die Grundlage des 3D-Pixels bildet ein konkaver halbkugelförmiger Minibildschirm aus wenigen tausend OLED (organic light emitting diode) Pixeln mit sehr hoher Pixeldichte, etwa 10.000 „pixels per inch“ oder ca. 400 Pixel pro Millimeter. Ein 3D-Pixel, der auf exakt horizontaler Ebene genau 200 Blickwinkel (=200 OLED Subpixel) ermöglicht, hat somit einen Umfang von 400 Pixeln und einen Durchmesser von etwa 127 Pixeln und besteht aus insgesamt etwa 25.460 Subpixeln, gemäß der Formeln zur Berechnung von Kreisen und Kugeln. Bei 400 Pixeln pro Millimeter entspricht dies etwa 320 Mikrometer, womit ein Full-HD 3D-Bildschirm so ca. 28 Zoll hätte. Über dem Mini OLED-Bildschirm, welcher die Subpixel enthält, liegt eine omnidirektionale Blickschutzfolie, die dafür sorgt, dass die Subpixel nur jeweils frontal komplett sichtbar sind. Eine Blickschutzfolie besteht aus einem mikroskopischen Gitter aus dunklen Lamellen, die aus flacheren Blickwinkeln die Sicht auf das jeweilige Subpixel versperren. In die Halbkugel wird dann eine Linse eingesetzt. Diese Linse ist direkt über jedem einzelnen Subpixel konkav gekrümmt, um das Licht vom Subpixel zu streuen. Die Außenseite der Linse ist konvex, um das gestreute Licht wieder zu sammeln und geradeaus auszurichten.The present invention describes a single 3D pixel. A screen constructed with it is intended to solve the above-mentioned tasks. The 3D pixel is based on a concave, hemispherical mini screen made of a few thousand OLED (organic light emitting diode) pixels with a very high pixel density of around 10,000 pixels per inch or around 400 pixels per millimeter. A 3D pixel, which enables exactly 200 viewing angles (=200 OLED subpixels) on an exactly horizontal plane, has a circumference of 400 pixels and a diameter of about 127 pixels and consists of a total of about 25,460 subpixels, according to the formulas for calculating circles and bullets. At 400 pixels per millimeter, this corresponds to around 320 micrometers, which means that a Full HD 3D screen would be around 28 inches. There is an omnidirectional privacy screen over the mini OLED screen, which contains the sub-pixels, which ensures that the sub-pixels are only fully visible from the front. A privacy screen consists of a microscopic grid of dark slats that block the view of the respective sub-pixel from flat viewing angles. A lens is then inserted into the hemisphere. This lens is concave directly above each individual sub-pixel to diffuse the light from the sub-pixel. The outside of the lens is convex to recollect and direct the scattered light straight ahead.
Ein Bildschirm bestehend aus solchen 3D-Pixeln löst alle oben genannten Aufgaben, sodass jeder 3D-Pixel genug Subpixel für tausende verschiedene Blinkwinkel enthält, aber immer nur genau ein Subpixel aus einem bestimmten Blickwinkel sichtbar ist. Ein 3D-Pixel enthält genug Subpixel, sodass jedes Auge ein anderes Subpixel sieht und dadurch ohne Weiteres ein natürliches, stereoskopisches 3D-Bild im Kopf aller Betrachter entsteht, die sich um den 3D-Bildschrim versammeln. Es ist sogar möglich, dass zwei Betrachter die jeweils an den Rändern des Bildschirms stehen, dasselbe Objekt im Bild von zwei verschiedenen Seiten betrachten, und ein Betrachter etwas sieht, dass dem anderen verborgen bleibt, oder sogar mehr Objekte sichtbar sind, die bei einem frontalen Blickwinkel von anderen Objekten verdeckt waren. Dies ist bei allen bisherigen Lösungen undenkbar, da die allermeisten von ihnen lediglich einen 3D-Effekt für zweidimensionale Bilder bieten, wohingegen ein Bildschirm mit 3D-Pixeln echte dreidimensionale Szenen anzeigen kann. Mit 3D-Pixeln werden alle Bilder für jeden der tausenden von Blickwinkeln der Szene gleichzeitig in den Subpixeln angezeigt, jedoch ist immer nur ein einziges 3D-Bild pro Blickwinkel sichtbar.A screen consisting of such 3D pixels solves all of the tasks mentioned above, so that each 3D pixel contains enough subpixels for thousands of different viewing angles, but only exactly one subpixel is visible from a specific viewing angle. A 3D pixel contains enough sub-pixels that each eye sees a different sub-pixel, thereby easily creating a natural, stereoscopic 3D image in the mind of all viewers who gather around the 3D screen. It is even possible that two viewers, each standing at the edges of the screen, are looking at the same object in the picture from two different sides, and one viewer sees something that is hidden from the other, or even more objects are visible than in a frontal view Viewing angles were obscured by other objects. This is unthinkable with all previous solutions, since most of them only offer a 3D effect for two-dimensional images, whereas a screen with 3D pixels can display real three-dimensional scenes. With 3D pixels, all images for each of the scene's thousands of angles are displayed simultaneously in the sub-pixels, but only a single 3D image is visible at any given angle.
