title: Aberration analyses for improving the frontal projection three-dimensional display.
abstract: The crosstalk severely affects the viewing experience for the auto-stereoscopic 3D displays based on frontal projection lenticular sheet. To suppress unclear stereo vision and ghosts are observed in marginal viewing zones(MVZs), aberration of the lenticular sheet combining with the frontal projector is analyzed and designed. Theoretical and experimental results show that increasing radius of curvature (ROC) or decreasing aperture of the lenticular sheet can suppress the aberration and reduce the crosstalk. A projector array with 20 micro-projectors is used to frontally project 20 parallax images one lenticular sheet with the ROC of 10 mm and the size of 1.9 m × 1.2 m. The 3D image with the high quality is experimentally demonstrated in both the mid-viewing zone and MVZs in the optimal viewing plane. The 3D clear depth of 1.2m can be perceived. To provide an excellent 3D image and enlarge the field of view at the same time, a novel structure of lenticular sheet is presented to reduce aberration, and the crosstalk is well suppressed.
