Definitions
- This invention relates to a shutter, hi embodiments the shutter is suitable for an autostereoscopic display, hi operation, embodiments of the shutter function to switch between an optically transparent state and an optically opaque state.
- the optical shutter operates to switch between different levels of optical transmission. Such operation may be considered as switching between different levels of grey scale.
- An autostereoscopic system particularly suitable for the shutter described in this document is the time-multiplexed system described in PCT application PCT/EB2005/001480.
- the shutter is suitable for any application where high switching speeds and high contrast are required.
- An autostereoscopic or 3D display can be implemented by synchronising a high frame rate screen for displaying a two dimensional image with a fast switching shutter. If each frame on the screen is synchronised with a corresponding slit, and the images and slits are run at sufficient speeds to avoid flicker, typically 50 Hz or above, then a 3D image can be created.
- Figure 1 shows the principle of an autostereoscopic display. As shown in the diagram, when the screen is viewed through one open slit of the shutter, each eye sees a different part of the screen, and hence each eye sees a different part of an image displayed on the screen. Image 1 is displayed on the screen whilst slit 1 is open. Similarly slit 2 is open when frame 2 is displayed. By repeating the process sufficiently fast such that each slit is perceived as flicker- free the entire shutter will represent a window into a 3D scene. It is assumed that the individual images displayed represent the correct perspectives through each slit. By way of example, given a flicker rate of 60 Hz, a 12 slit shutter requires a display capable of a refresh rate of 720 Hz. Summary
- a shutter for an autostereoscopic display comprising: a first switchable aperture array having a relatively fast switching time from a substantially transparent state to a substantially opaque state, and a second switchable aperture array having a relatively fast switching time from a substantially opaque state to a substantially transparent state, wherein said first switchable aperture array and said second switchable aperture at least partially overlap.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays may be aligned.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays may be superposed.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays may be arranged such that a line through the centre of both an aperture of the first switchable aperture array and an aperture of the second switchable aperture array is normal to the surface of both apertures.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays maybe arranged so as to relatively offset.
- the first switchable aperture array may be positioned between the second switchable aperture and a two dimensional display.
- the second switchable aperture array may be positioned between the first switchable aperture and a two dimensional display.
- the two dimensional display may be a screen of a projector.
- the projector may use a DMD.
- a method of operating the shutter comprising: arranging the first switchable aperture array to be in a substantially transparent state; arranging the second switchable aperture array to be in a substantially opaque state; switching the second switchable aperture array from a substantially opaque state to a substantially transparent state, rendering a portion of the shutter substantially transparent, and switching the first aperture array from a substantially transparent state to a substantially opaque state, rendering a portion of the shutter substantially opaque.
- a method of operating the shutter comprising: rendering a portion of the shutter substantially transparent by switching to transparent a first set of adjacent apertures of the first switchable aperture array switching to transparent a second set of adjacent apertures of the second switchable aperture array wherein the first set of adjacent apertures face the second set of adjacent apertures, and the second set of apertures comprises a greater number of apertures than the first set of apertures.
- the first set and the second set of apertures may share a common central axis.
- the first set and the second set of apertures may be offset laterally in a direction perpendicular to the length of the apertures and perpendicular to the plane containing the apertures.
- the first switchable aperture array has a first fall time for switching time from a substantially opaque state to a substantially transparent state.
- the second switchable aperture array has a second fall for switching from a substantially transparent state to a substantially opaque state.
- the first and second fall times may be identical.
- the first and second fall times may be different.
- the first and second fall times may be different and one switchable aperture array may have a better contrast ratio than the other switchable aperture array. Ih such a case, the switching scheme is modified to improve contrast ratio of the shutter. This may be done by making the switchable aperture array with the greater contrast ratio to be substantially opaque where either switchable aperture array may be used to make a portion of the shutter substantially opaque.
- the method may reduce the occurrence of striping.
- Striping occurs when, for a given sub frame, the field of view through two adjacent transparent portions of the shutter is sufficiently narrow that there is a portion of the screen that cannot be seen, hi the space on either side of the visible portions of the screen, the viewer sees the closed shutter. If the viewer goes sufficiently far to the side he will only see the closed shutter and the display will appear black. If the viewer sees partially visible portions of the screen and partially the closed shutter the overall appearance when all subframes have been scanned will be black stripes on the image. The viewer may also look into partially closed shutter in which case the stripes will be grey. This artefact of the display is called striping. In a dual switchable aperture apparatus, for a given screen bandwidth striping can be minimized by optimizing the aperture opening sequence such that a greater number of switchable apertures are open in one switchable aperture array than the other switchable aperture array.
- the order in which the apertures are opened may be determined by minimizing a cost function associated with straight on ghosting and ghosting at an angle.
- Straight on ghosting may be caused by adjacent shutters being opened consecutively, such that an aperture which defines an edge of a first open shutter must change state by making a slow transition between substantially transparent and substantially opaque, prior to the opening of a second shutter.
- ghosting at an angle may be caused by proximal shutters being opened consecutively, such that an aperture close to the edge of a first open shutter must change state by making a slow transition between substantially transparent and substantially opaque, prior to the opening of a second shutter.
- Proximal shutters may be separated by one or more apertures.
- the cost function may further take into account striping.
- the cost function may account for striping by assigning a cost to a ratio of the number of apertures open in the first switchable aperture array to the number of apertures open in the second switchable aperture array. The closer the ratio is to 1, the greater the striping effect.
- the ratio is 3, such that for an open slit in the shutter one aperture is open in the first switchable aperture array, and three apertures are open in the second switchable aperture array.
- the one open aperture of the first switchable aperture array is arranged aligned with the central aperture of the three open apertures of the second switchable aperture array.
- the ratio may be varied in order to alter the properties of the autostereoscopic display. The closer the ratio is to one the greater the striping effect. The further the ratio is from one, the greater the likelihood of ghosting effects.
- the sequence of opening apertures may be varied to alter the striping and ghosting effects. The sequence of opening apertures may be optimised to reduce the striping and ghosting effects.
- the number of open apertures for an open shutter can be varied to alter the optical properties of the autostereoscopic display. Wider slits reduce depth field but increase brightness and resolution. Narrower slits increase depth filed but decrease brightness and resolution.
- the optical properties of the autostereoscopic display may be varied in order to use a display for different purposes. Examples of such purposes are: viewing by a single person, viewing by a group of people over a wide viewing angle, providing a detailed static image, and providing fast moving images.
- the first switchable aperture array may have a relatively slow switching time from a substantially opaque state to a substantially transparent state.
- the second switchable aperture array may have a relatively slow switching time from a substantially transparent state to a substantially opaque state.

- Each aperture of each aperture array is switchable between a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state.
- the apertures of the first switchable aperture array may be parallel to the apertures of the second switchable aperture array.
- the apertures of the first switchable aperture array may be aligned so as to overlay the apertures of the second switchable aperture array.
- the first and second switchable aperture array may be arranged such that a surface of the first switchable aperture array faces a surface of the second switchable aperture array, and wherein the shutter further comprises: a first polarizer arranged on a surface of the first switchable aperture array opposite the surface of the first switchable aperture array facing the second switchable aperture array; and a second polarizer arranged on a surface of the second switchable aperture array opposite the surface of the second switchable aperture array facing the first switchable aperture array.
- a third polarizer may be arranged between the first and second switchable aperture arrays.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays may comprise Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) units.
- Each LCD unit may comprise a planar aligned liquid crystal material.
- Each LCD unit may have a director.
- the shutter may comprise: a top polariser at 135°, a first LCD unit with director at 90°, a middle polariser at 45°, a second LCD unit with director at 0°, and a bottom polariser at 45°.
- the middle polariser improves the performance of the shutter by ensuring light entering the second LCD unit is of the correct polarisation.
- the middle polariser acts as a clean up filter.
- the second switchable aperture array is normally black (i.e. opaque).
- the second switchable aperture array may contain a liquid crystal and a dye.
- the dye improves the opacity of the second switchable aperture in the substantially opaque state. The dye does this by absorbing light.
- the shutter may comprise a compensation cell.
- the compensation cell comprises a liquid crystal layer the same thickness as the liquid crystal layer of the second switchable aperture array.
- the shutter may comprise a compensation filter.
- the compensation filter comprises a retardation film with optical properties matching the optical properties of the second switchable aperture array.
- the first and/or second switchable aperture arrays may comprise one of: a planar aligned liquid crystal, a vertically aligned liquid crystal, and a twisted nematic liquid crystal.
- the first and/or second switchable aperture arrays may employ dual frequency liquid crystals.
- the first and/or second switchable aperture arrays may employ electrically commanded surfaces.
- the first switchable aperture array may comprise a planar aligned liquid crystal and the second switchable aperture array may comprise a vertically aligned liquid crystal or a twisted nematic liquid crystal.
- a shutter is open when one or more apertures in the first switchable aperture array are transparent, and adjacent to this, one or more apertures in the second switchable aperture array are transparent.
- the viewing angle can be modified by varying the number of apertures which are transparent in the first and second switchable aperture array to create an open shutter. Fewer transparent apertures for an open shutter create a narrower viewing angle. More transparent apertures for an open shutter create a wider viewing angle.
- the first and second switchable aperture arrays form a shutter array.
- the shutter array cooperates with a display screen to create a display apparatus.
- An arrangement may be provided to alter the separation between the display screen and the shutter array to change the characteristics of the display apparatus for different purposes.
- the arrangement may be a simple electromechanical arrangement comprising motors, worm gears and racks at each corner of the display apparatus.
- a shutter for an autostereoscopic display comprising: a first switchable aperture array; and a second switchable aperture array.

- a shutter is provided that has a fast switching time in both ways between a first and second state. In a first state a portion of the shutter may be substantially transparent. In a second state a portion of the shutter may be substantially opaque.

- LCD Liquid Crystal Display
- Embodiments provide a shutter which can switch between opaque and transparent and transparent and opaque sufficiently fast that the shutter can be used for an autostereoscopic display apparatus.
- the shutter uses LCD technology.
- Liquid crystals typically have one fast switching transition and one slow switching transition.
- the fast switching of the shutter is obtained by using a dual aperture array arrangement wherein the fast transitions are used to transition a portion of the shutter between opaque and transparent and back again.
- Embodiments further provide a method of operating a dual aperture array shutter wherein fast transitions of the apertures are used for all or substantially all or at least a majority of shutter state transitions between opaque and transparent.
- Embodiments provide a shutter, the aperture elements of which can be controlled so as to provide a range of slit characteristics.
- a shutter is provided which can be used for different optical arrangements and so different viewing arrangements.
- the rendering method applied for generating an image on the screen must be modified to correspond to the change in slit characteristics.
- the order in which slits is opened is determined so as to reduce the occurrence of unwanted optical effects such as striping and ghosting.
- Such an order is determined by minimizing a cost function associated with each effect, the cost function of each effect determined by the apparent severity of negative impact on the image as discussed in further detail below.

- Figure 15 shows an example of straight on ghosting
- Figure 16 shows an example of ghosting from an angle
- Figure 17 shows a non-regular arrangement of the ratio r.
- Such a shutter consists of a standard cell, i.e. a liquid crystal layer confined between two bounding plates which can switch quickly from dark to clear and equally fast from clear to dark.
- Figure 2 shows a typical transmission function for an ideal individual slit.
- the slit opens at U and closes at t 2 .
- the time to switch between two states should ideally be infinitely fast, but in practice is a finite time. This time is known as the rise-time and fall-time, and will set the maximum speed at which the shutter can be run. Since the slit is not blocking light properly during transition there will be some light leakage, which gives rise to faint unwanted images known as ghost images, hi addition a loss of overall image contrast can be expected due to this transition leakage. Another factor that reduces contrast is the fact that LCD cells never manage to block light one hundred percent efficiently, even in a stable dark state.
- a problem with current shutter technology is that LCDs cannot reliably switch at the high rates required for a flicker free autostereoscopic display apparatus.
- An LCD apparatus is typically arranged to switch between two states of polarization. Usually, degrees of polarization between the two states of polarization may also be selected with the LCD apparatus.
- the time to switch between two states is finite.
- the time for a transition from a first state to a second state is known as the rise-time and the reverse transition is known as the fall-time.
- the fall-time is typically a relaxation time and this is the strongest factor determining the maximum speed at which the shutter can switch. Since the slit does not block light properly during transition there is light leakage. Light leakage may give rise to faint unwanted images known as ghost images. In addition, a loss of overall image contrast can be expected due to this transition leakage. Another factor that reduces contrast is the fact that LCD cells do not exhibit zero percent transmission, even in a stable dark state.
- a shutter with high contrast fast rise time and fast fall-time but using a standard liquid crystal material that switches quickly in only one direction may be obtained by using a double cell solution.
- Such a shutter can be built up from two individual liquid crystal cells, one with a fast dark to clear transition and one with a fast clear to dark transition as shown in Figure 3.
- the principle of the double cell shutter is shown Figure 4.
- the top normally white cell is clear (commonly termed “white”) in the art when no electric field is present.
- the normally black cell is opaque (commonly termed “black” in the art) when no field is applied. It may be desired to only have one pair of polarisers: one at the entrance plane and one at the exit plane, hi practice a third polariser can be placed between the two cells which acts as a clean up filter to ensure that the light is correctly polarised when entering the next liquid crystal cell.
- the middle polariser ensures correct polarisation state of the light entering the second cell. This may be particularly useful during the transition of the first cell when the polarisation state is unknown.
- Some liquid crystals have an associated hold time when switching, which can set a minimum limit to the length of the pulse.
- t p Length of ideal square pulse that is being replicated
- t r Rise time
- tf Fall time
- normally black (or opaque) cell One challenge associated with the above configuration is the normally black (or opaque) cell.
- normally black cell For the normally black cell to achieve high contrast it must act as a perfect half wave-plate which is difficult to achieve for planar aligned liquid crystals. Therefore this cell will often have considerably lower contrast than the normally white cell.
- a compensation filter or compensation cell placed at the exit plane.
- a compensation cell could consist of a cell with identical cell thickness and liquid crystal properties as the cell being switched.
- a compensation filter could be a retardation film with properties matched to those of the cell being switched.
- VA vertically aligned
- a first requirement of the retardation firm is that it has the correct retardation for one wavelength in the most sensitive part of the optical spectrum, around 554 nm. For optimum transmission, it should have a retardation value around 277 nm. However, the retardation value should also be matched to the liquid crystal cell, and a somewhat smaller value means a thinner cell with faster response, sacrificing the transmission to a small degree.
- a second requirement of the retardation film is that the retardation should have the similar wavelength dependence to the liquid crystal used.
- a third requirement of the retardation film is that it gives a good angular dependence together with the liquid crystal panel. This can be achieved by using a material with negative birefringence. If the retardation film is not explicitly designed to provide good angular properties, these may be improved by suitable orientation of the liquid crystal and the retardation film. For example, a panel with the rubbing, polariser and retardation film rotated 45 degrees, could reduce the angular dependence in the horizontal direction.
- Figure 6 shows how a double cell can be made using a retardation film.
- a retardation film according to embodiments may satisfy any combination of the above requirements.
- Figure 6 shows a six layer double cell using a retardation film.
- the first layer is a polarizer arranged at 90° to an alignment axis.
- the second layer is a Planar Alignment (PA) cell comprising liquid crystal arranged between an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface rubbed at 45° to the alignment axis. The lower surface buffed at 225° to the alignment axis.
- the third layer is a polarizer arranged parallel to the alignment axis.
- the fourth layer is a Planar Alignment (PA) cell having an upper surface buffed at 135° to the alignment axis and a lower surface buffed at 315° to the alignment axis.
- the fifth layer is a retarder sheet with its slow axis arranged at 45° to the alignment axis.
- the sixth layer is a polarizer arranged at 90° to the alignment axis.
- the contrast ratio will be different for the normally white and the normally black cell, with the normally black typically having poorer contrast.
- the overall contrast may be improved by maximising the time during which the cell with the higher contrast is in the black state.
- the fall time (a) of the normally white can be reduced then the overall contrast can be improved.
- the goal is to allow the normally white cell to block light as long as possible and let the normally black cell only when the normally white is transitioning, i.e. make period (b) as long as possible and (c), i.e. (a), as short as possible.
- the cell could be optimised by having different response curves for the two cells.
- the normally black cell could be thicker to give good contrast with a longer fall time, and the normally white cell could be thinner to give a shorter fall time.
- Figure 8 shows transmission against time for a normally white cell, a normally black cell, and a double cell comprising a normally black cell and a normally white cell.
- Figure 8 also shows drive signals (voltage against time) for the normally black cell and the normally white cell.
- ECS Electrically Commanded Surfaces
- the response time may vary along the slits or other geometry being switched. The variation will depend on the resistivity per unit length of the strip and the capacity per unit length.
- One way to reduce the variation is to use a low resistance conductive layer.
- Another way is to comiect both ends of the slits to the driver electronics.
- Yet another way is to add a metal wire along the slit to reduce resistance.
- Another solution is to compensate for the variation in response time by modifying the input image that is synchronised with the shutter.
- the maximum viewing angle is up to 180 degrees and only limited by the thickness of the cell and the maximum viewing angle for the liquid crystal. Having two or more shutters will change the maximum viewing angle as shown in the Figure 12. Furthermore, the effective slit width will gradually become smaller when increasing the angle away from the normal going out from the center of the slit. This will make the brightness dependent on viewing angle and can introduce black stripes.
- Figure 13 shows the effect on viewing angle of adding an extra shutter. It has been drawn with the Shutter B, with the wider slit, between Shutter A and the display. However, a similar analysis would be applicable if it was further away from the display by a distance s. In some instances the viewing angle should not be reduced compared to having only one shutter. To achieve this one can ensure that the system is designed for viewing angles no greater than ⁇ .
- ⁇ can be set through adjusting s and r according to:
- I b will be made up of several elements of width 1'. Due to symmetry, 1' will in many instances be a multiple of l a (because the slit for Shutter B will need to move along with the slit for Shutter A), which limits the range of values that r can take. Effectively the resolution of Shutter B determines at what steps ⁇ can be changed dynamically.
- Another way to change the viewing angle dynamically is to change the distance between the two shutters.
- the mechanism for changing the distance can be combined with a device that accurately measures the distances s and d. This would allow other system parameters that are affected by these distances to be adjusted dynamically.
- the minimum distance between the two shutters is limited by glass substrate thickness.
- a typical glass substrate is 1.1 mm thick, although thinner substrates exist.
- the liquid crystal layer will be a few microns and can be ignored.
- the thickness s will be 2.2 mm and for a single 1.1 mm.
- Two cases are considered, one with an 80 slit shutter and one with a 256 slit shutter. Both are assumed to be 400mm wide, giving slit widths l a of 5mm and 1.56mm respectively.
- r hi a basic setup r will typically be 1,2 or 3, which gives the following viewing angles:
- the problem can be described as a number of shutter states in a repeated time sequence.
- the number of shutter states equals the spacing between the simultaneously open slits (N).
- the number of states in the time sequence is usually the same, i.e. N.
- One way to improve the visual appearance of the sequence is to reduce the negative effect of the fall time t f . This can be done by finding sequences based on constraint programming techniques. The following set of constraints is an example that would give an effective sequence:
- N states are defined by the number of the first open slit in a set of simultaneously open slits
- Each state can be placed in any one of N time slots of length t p (the length of a frame)
- this factor will depend on the fall time of the respective shutters, hi most cases the cost will be zero for t greater than the sum of the fall time for Shutter A and Shutter B respectively.
- N is large, r is small and the fall time short it will be easier to find an optimal sequence. In that respect, using materials with short fall time and putting the shutters close together will simplify the design.
- D(p(t),p(t')) Min((p(t')-p(t))mod(N); N-(p(t')-p(t))mod(N); N-abs(p(t')-p(t))), where p(t) returns the shutter state at time t, and D represents the distance between the states at time t and t ⁇
- T(t,t') (t' - 1) mod (N), which represents the distance in time between t and t'
- the total cost will then be calculated by summing the product of the two functions for all time slots and all pairs of shutter states.
- Shutter A could be a normally white cell with higher contrast since it will be in the black state for a larger proportion of the cycle. In other instances one may choose to have a normally white cell with faster fall time and use that as Shutter B.
- N the number of steps between slits on Shutter A that are open at the same point in time must at least be 2r+l if crosstalk between viewing regions is to be avoided. It should be noted though that in some cases this repeated viewing zone is desired.
- the analysis in this section will also have influence in the optimization of the distance between the two aperture arrays, s as discussed above.. In practical terms one may choose a smaller s because there will be additional cross-talk due to slow switching time.
- r does not have to be constant and the slit on Shutter B does not need to be centered with the slit of Shutter A.
- the frustums may be shifted outwards as shown in Figure 17.
- the dotted line indicates a symmetric frustum where the slit on Shutter B would be centered with the slit for Shutter A if they are defined as the intersection of the shutters and the frustum.
- the full line indicates a frustum that is shifted outwards and is non- symmetric in the sense that the slits for Shutter B are not centered with the slits for Shutter A if they are defined as the intersection of the shutters and the frustum.
- An example of a double shutter LCD intended for horizontal parallax only 3D display, i.e. where a viewer will see different images only for different horizontal viewing positions, will typically consist of columns rather than pixels which is typically for conventional 2D LCD screens.
- the shutter LCD screen will consist of many columns typically l-5mm wide that can switch between optically transparent and optically opaque.
- such an LCD screen can be achieved by using two panels: One that switches quickly from opaque to transparent (normally black) and one that switches quickly from transparent to opaque (normally white).
- a cell gap of around 2.5 micrometers is used.
- One suitable liquid crystal material for use in both cells is MLC 14300- 100.
- the normally black and normally white cells are configured as described above with reference to the Double cell shutter overview, with the normally white using crossed polarisers and material director at 45° to input polarizer, which is achieved by rubbing the alignment material (for example PI 7992) at 45° with respect to polariser orientation.
- the normally black cell has the polarisers in parallel and with material director also aligned at 45° to input polariser as described above with reference to the Double cell shutter overview. Due to the narrow cell gap of the normally black cell a compensation film might improve contrast. In such case the compensation film is incorporated as shown in Figure 6. Alternatively a third cell, an exact replica of the normally black is included as a compensation film.
- a high voltage is required. Typically around 25 volts will suffice to switch the panels in approximately 40 micro seconds. However, if a larger cell gap is required then a higher voltage will be required.
- the shutter can also be used to vary the viewing zones dynamically, from narrow to wide cones.
- One way to do this is to change the width of the slits being switched by varying the number of adjacent slits being switched simultaneously.
- the image on the display that is synchronized with the shutter should be rendered to match the slit width to maintain a correct image.
- Another way to change the viewing zones is to have a mechanism to change the distance between the shutter and the display. Again the image on the display should be rendered to match the distance between the shutter and the display.
