Abstract
Among the 3D imaging technology, the auto-stereoscopic 3D display technology has generally accepted because of its advantages about no need to wear glasses and various use. In recent years, the rise of flexible display make wearable displays and curved displays spring up, such as smart watch and curved smart phone and the research of the curved display is more important. Based on the bending direction, Curved displays are divided into concave-type displays and convex-type displays and provide the more natural and comfortable visual experience. The concave-type displays provide the effect of Panorama image and the convex-type provide the effect of Surrounding image. Therefore, the curved auto-stereoscopic display is highly expected in the future. For an auto-stereoscopic display, viewing position and the movable range for observers strongly affect image quality. Viewing zone describes the range that an observer could move while experiencing 3D images in front of the display. Regarding a curved auto-stereoscopic display, radius of curvature and width of the screen determine the relative degree of bending, by which the spacial light distribution is determined. In addition, this is a key factor influencing image quality, especially for the display which directs the views for left and right eyes based on binocular parallax. In this thesis, we investigate the effect of viewing zones with concave-type and convex-type in small size displays(such as mobile devices), medium size displays(such as desktop monitors) and large size displays(such as televisions) by modulating the radius of curvature. According to the results, both concave-type and convex-type can be applied for small size displays and medium size displays by different use, and the concave-type is better than convex-type for large size displays. Meanwhile, the limitation factors of the concave-type and convex-type are studied in this thesis. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a reference for designing the parameters of curved auto-stereoscopic displays in the future.
