In this paper, we propose a staggered design directional backlight system in an autostereoscopic display. Currently, one of the main deficiency of autostereoscopic display is low display uniformity in both horizon and depth direction. In order to optimized display unifomity, the system mainly employs a staggered backlight array designed by a trace-back algorithm and a light shaping diffuser. As result, the horizontal dark areas are fully compensated. Moreover, crosstalk of experimental system is as low as 0.9%.
In this article, we propose a quantitative evaluation for the display uniformity in a directional backlight system. Display uniformity is divided into two research aspects - static uniformity and motional uniformity. Factors influencing uniformity deterioration are then discussed in our evaluation. Furthermore, a visualized simulation based on ray-tracing model is proposed to analyze this display uniformity in quantitative depth. Optical distribution on the screen is obtained in this simulation to provide visualized results compared with the experimental results. Our work helps to fill the vacancy for the evaluation of display uniformity on directional backlight type 3D display.
