We developed a 5.5 inch, VGA (640×480×RGB), stereoscopic
3D display using a precisely patterned wire-grid polarizer (WGP)
with rows of alternating polarization angle. Such a wire-grid
polarizer is invisible without the polarizer and thus a 2D/3D
convertible display can be formed. The proposed structure is free
of any limitations on both viewing angle and viewing distance
inherent in the conventional stereoscopic displays, whereby
enabling several persons to view stereoscopic image
simultaneously. Because the proposed structure does not use
conventional polarization film of TFT-LCD panel, it can be
manufactured with low-cost. View document
