title: Numerical simulation of the displayed image on the entire screen of autostereoscopic displays.
abstract: A three-dimensional simulation model calculating the optical intensity distribution for the entire screen of an autostereoscopic display at a given eye position was developed in this study. A parallax barrier array was used for the optical model and reverse ray tracing of light from the observer's eye to the subpixels through the slits of the barrier was performed based on reverse geometrical optics. By investigating the optical behavior of the displayed image for the nine-view design condition for various viewing distances, we found the inhomogeneous crosstalk from the unwanted views and predicted segmented images which were comprised of multiple images from different views on the entire display screen. From the results, our simulation model shows good potentiality for predicting the displayed image on the entire display screen of autostereoscopic displays for various positions of the observer's eye with sufficient calculation speed.
