    Abstract: A multiview backlight and a multiview display employ a microprism multibeam element to emit a plurality of directional light beams having principal angular directions corresponding to view directions of the multiview display. The multiview backlight includes a light guide and the microprism multibeam element extending from a surface of the light guide. The microprism multibeam element has an input aperture configured to receive a portion of guided light and an output aperture configured to emit the plurality of directional light beams. The microprism multibeam element includes a microprism having an inclined sidewall configured to reflect the received guided light portion and provide the plurality of directional light beams. The multiview display includes the multiview backlight and an array of multiview pixels configured to provide different views of the multiview display from the plurality of directional light beams.

    Abstract: A light source includes an optical emitter configured to emit light toward an output aperture of the light source. The light source further includes a partially reflective layer at the output aperture. The partially reflective layer is configured to receive the emitted light from the optical emitter and to reflect a portion of the received light as reflected light. The light source additionally includes a scattering medium located between the partially reflective layer and the optical emitter. The scattering medium is configured to scatter the reflected light as scattered light having a different direction from the reflected light. A portion of the scattered light is redirected toward the partially reflective layer as recycled light to be emitted from the light source. A multiview backlight that employs the light source is also provided, along with a method for operating the light source.

    Abstract: A backlight and a multiview display employ a light guide having angle-preserving scattering feature and a tapered collimator. The angle-preserving scattering feature is configured to scatter a portion of guided light out of the light guide as emitted light. The tapered collimator is configured to collimate light provided by a light source as collimated light and to communicate the collimated light to the light guide to guided as the guided light. The collimated light has a collimation factor configured to provide a predetermined angular spread of the guided light, the collimation factor being a function of a taper of the tapered collimator. The multiview display includes multiview pixels that include view pixels as well as the angle-preserving scattering feature that includes a multibeam element having a size that is comparable to a size of a view pixel.

    Abstract: Multiview displays include a reflective support structure located between a backlight and a screen. The backlight includes a plate light guide configured to couple out light that propagates within the plate light guide using multibeam elements. The reflective support structure reflects light incident on a portion of the surface that abuts the reflective support structure back into the plate light guide. The screen includes an array of multiview pixels configured to modulate coupled out light to create a multiview image.

    Abstract: A bar collimator and a backlight system employ diffractive coupling to provide a collimated source of illumination to a backlight. The bar collimator includes a light guide and a diffraction grating disposed on a side of the light guide. The light guide is configured to guide light received from a light source as guided light. The diffraction grating is configured to diffractively couple out a portion of the guided light and to direct the diffractively coupled-out portion toward an input of a backlight as a collimated light having an extent corresponding to a length of the backlight input. A backlight system includes the bar collimator and further includes a light source and a backlight adjacent to the light guide of the bar collimator, the backlight being configured to receive collimated light from a diffraction grating of the bar collimator.

    Abstract: Dual-direction collimation and a dual surface collimator provide dual-direction collimated light at a non-zero propagation angle. The dual surface collimator includes an entrance surface and a reflector surface each having a curved shape. The entrance surface is configured to refract incident light and the reflector surface is configured to reflect the refracted light back toward the entrance surface. The entrance surface is further configured to re-reflect the reflected light by total internal reflection toward an output aperture. Curved shapes and relative orientation of the entrance and reflector surfaces, in combination, are configured to convert the incident light into dual-direction collimated light having the non-zero propagation angle. A three-dimensional (3D) display includes the dual surface collimator, a plate light guide and an array of multibeam diffraction gratings to provide a plurality of light beams corresponding to different 3D view of the display.
