Invited paper: Multi-view 3D displays

In this paper, we analyze the performance of multi-view barrier and lenticular based 3D displays in their most important display, properties, being resolution, brightness, uniformity and cross-talk. We will show that the barrier display is superior in uniformity and that the lenticular is superior in brightness. We will show that the cross-talk and uniformity, of an ideal slanted barrier equal that of an ideal defocused lens. For a realistic barrier we will show that diffraction increases the cross-talk but does not change, the uniformity. We will also show that the spherical aberrations of the cylindrical lens limit the uniformity of the display but do not affect the cross-talk.
