Stereo viewing zone in autostereoscopic display based on parallax barrier

A well-designed autostereoscopic display based on parallax barrier can produce high-quality stereo images without crosstalk in the stereo viewing zones. The concept of stereo image quality factor was defined to indicate the stereo viewing zone of the display. The stereo viewing zone was analyzed using geometry principle. Simulated program was developed to calculate the stereo viewing zone. The calculated results of an autostereoscopic display monitor were given and the stereo viewing zone was obtained by defining threshold value of stereo image quality factor.
