    Abstract: A horizontal parallax multiview display employs a plurality of slanted multibeam columns to scatter out of a light guide a plurality of directional light beams having principal angular directions corresponding to different view directions of the horizontal parallax multiview display. The plurality of directional light beams is modulated using an array of light valves to provide a multiview image having horizontal parallax. Further, the horizontal parallax multiview display employs a light control film having a slanted light control axis aligned with slanted multibeam columns of the slanted multibeam column plurality. The light control film is configured to control a view angle of the multiview image in a direction orthogonal to the horizontal parallax. The slanted multibeam columns may provide the multiview displays with a balanced resolution.

    Abstract: A mode-selectable backlight and privacy display employ directional scattering features to provide emitted light. The mode-selectable backlight includes a light guide, a first directional scattering feature to provide broad-angle emitted light from guided light having a first propagation direction within the light guide during a public mode, and a second directional scattering feature to provide second light from guided light having a second propagation direction within the light guide during a privacy mode. The directional emitted light the provided during the privacy mode is directed into a viewbox. The mode-selectable privacy display further includes light sources configured to provide the guided light having the first and second propagation directions along with an array of light valves configured to modulate the broad-angle emitted light as a public image and the directional emitted light as a private image visible within the viewbox.

    Abstract: A multiview backlight having applications in a multiview display employs an array of multibeam elements located a predetermined distance below a top surface of a light guide in the multiview backlight. The multibeam elements may be configured to scatter out through the top surface a portion of guided light from the light guide as directional light beams having different principal angular directions corresponding to different views of the multiview display. For example, the multibeam elements each may comprise one or more of a diffraction grating, a micro-reflective element, and a micro-refractive element. Moreover, the multiview display may include an array of light valves configured to modulate the directional light beams as a multiview image to be displayed by the multiview display, and the predetermined distance may be greater than one quarter of a size of a light valve of the set of light valves.

    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 light.
