Researchers developed a revolutionary prism-patterned 3D projection display

Researchers from Taiwan and Sweden has developed a new revolutionary 3D display design. They are using a projector-based prism-patterned 3D display that can be viewed by multiple viewers and does not require glasses. They say that the display offers both high optical efficiency and low image crosstalk, a thing that haven't been achieved before.

In the new system, the prism’s angular surfaces reflect light at two different angles, which are received by a viewer’s left and right eyes, creating a sense of depth through parallax. The number of prisms per pixel control the number of viewers. For example, four prisms per pixel generate 10 viewing zones in four rows. 11 prisms per pixel can be used for a 100 viewers system!

The design still needs some optimizing work, but the researchers are planning to make a prototype system and are looking for companies that might help in actually commercializing this design.
