Resolution-enhanced integral imaging display using a dense point light source array

A scheme for the resolution enhancement of a dense point light source integral imaging display is proposed. The proposed method uses 9 light emitting diodes (LEDs), a collimating lens and a lens array to generate 4 times more point light sources than elemental lenses constituting the lens array. In consequence, the resolution of the 3D images is enhanced up to 4 times. The viewing angle keeps the same and no crosstalk appears. The principle of the proposed method is described and verified experimentally.
