The multiview backlight includes a light guide and the microstructured multibeam element adjacent and external to a surface of the light guide. The microstructured multibeam element has an input aperture configured to receive a portion of guided light from the light guide and an output aperture configured to emit the plurality of directional light beams. The microstructured multibeam element comprises a microstructure having an interior surface configured to reflect the received guided light portion to provide the plurality of directional light beams at the output aperture. The multiview display includes the multiview backlight and an array of multiview pixels configured to provide different views of the multiview display.

    Abstract: A mode-selectable backlight and display employ a plurality of directional scattering features to provide emitted light. The mode-selectable backlight includes a light guide, a first directional scattering feature to provide first emitted light from guided light having a first propagation direction within the light guide in a first operational mode, and a second directional scattering feature to provide second light from guided light having a second propagation direction within the light guide in a second operational mode. The second emitted light comprises a plurality of directional light beams having different principal angular directions from one another and the first propagation direction differing from the second propagation direction. The mode-selectable display further includes a plurality of light sources to provide the guided light and an array of light valves configured to modulate the emitted light as a displayed image.

    Abstract: A static multiview display and method employ an array of diffraction gratings to provide a multiview image having a direction that is a function of both color and a propagation angle of a collimated guided light beam. The static multiview display includes a light guide configured to guide light in a longitudinal direction and a light source configured to provide the collimated guided light beam, the propagation angle within the light guide being determined by a longitudinal offset of an optical emitter of the light source. The static multiview display further includes the array of diffraction gratings are configured to scatter out a portion of the collimated guided light beam as a plurality of directional light beams representing the 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: A polarized backlight employs a light source configured to provide polarized light and a light guide to guide the polarized light. A polarization-preserving scattering feature optically coupled to the light guide is configured to scatter a portion of the guided polarized light out of the light guide as emitted polarized light. A polarization of the emitted polarized light is determined by a polarization of the guided polarized light.
