Integral Imaging With Full Parallax Based on Mini LED Display Unit.

Integral imaging has been considered as the most applicable technology of true 3D display in the near future. In this paper, we propose the method to achieve full parallax and large-screen integral imaging display based on mini LED. Compared to the existing integral imaging systems based on the LED, the proposed method can present both horizontal and vertical parallaxes. We explore the optical parameter matching method between mini LED display unit and lenslet unit and design three different shapes of lenslet arrays. The imaging performance of lenslet arrays of circular-shape, square-shape, and hexagonal-shape is analyzed. The method of window interception is proposed to generate elemental images for the lenslet arrays with different apertures and arranging structures. The experimental results show that the true 3D display with full parallax and screen scalability has been realized using the proposed method and the display effect of lenslet array with hexagonal-shape is the best according to the evaluation of both subjective and objective merits.
