In this paper we present a method for determining the preferred slanted angle for a lenticular film that minimizes moiré patterns in quasi-three-dimensional (Q3D) displays. We evaluate the preferred slanted angles of the lenticular film for the stripe-type sub-pixel structure liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. Additionally, the sub-pixels mapping algorithm of the specific angle is proposed to assign the images to either the right or left eye channel. A Q3D display prototype is built. Compared with the conventional SLF, this newly implemented Q3D display can not only eliminate moiré patterns but also provide 3D images in both portrait and landscape orientations. It is demonstrated that the developed slanted lenticular film (SLF) provides satisfactory 3D images by employing a compact structure, minimum moiré patterns and stabilized 3D contrast.

Abstract: This paper presents a contour calculation method (CCM) for the freeform reflector design. Conservation of energy relates the light flux from a Lambertian-type point source to a desired irradiance and a discrete spot distribution on a target plane. This relationship determines the edges of the reflector patches, thus, enabling the design of a non-imaging freeform reflector based on a series of ellipsoid patches modeled as NURBS curves in Rhinoceros. As an example, we present a freeform reflector design composed of 6400 ellipsoid patches to illuminate a surface with 94% uniformity. A computer calculation takes 18.5s. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
