Abstract

The transmittance of the three dimensional (3D) transparent display is an important factor and can be enhanced by adding a see-through area to the displayed 3D image in order to transmit an ambient light with maximum transparency. However, there is a side effect that the perceived 3D resolution can be degraded due to the see-through area. In this paper, we propose an advanced method to resolve the above trade-off relation between the transparency and the 3D resolution by using an active parallax barrier (PB) with a see-through area. The experimental results are also presented to prove the proposed principle.
