Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, an image display apparatus includes a light source, a modulation unit, a first array and a second array. The modulation unit modulates intensity and a color of the light to generate beams corresponding to each of modulated pixels included in a modulated pixel group. The first array is formed by juxtaposing a plurality of first deflection elements each having a generating line parallel to a vertical direction of the modulated pixels. The second array is formed by juxtaposing a plurality of second deflection elements each having a generating line tilted by an angle represented by tan −1 (α×m/n) with respect to a generating line of the first deflection element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image display apparatus for displaying an ultra multi-parallax three-dimensional image, comprising: a light source emitting light; a modulation unit configured to modulate an intensity of the light and a color of the light to generate beams corresponding to each of modulated pixels included in a modulated pixel group, the modulated pixels each being determined by an observation position where an image is observed and an output angle corresponding to the…
