A well-designed parallax barrier autostereoscopic display can produce high-quality stereo images with little crosstalk or even without crosstalk in the stereo viewing zones. The concept of stereo image quality factor was defined to indicate the stereo viewing zone of an autostereoscopic display. According to the structure and principle of the display, the formulae of stereo image quality factor were deduced. Simulated program was developed to calculate stereo image quality factor. The simulated results of stereo image quality factor for a 19-in autostereoscopic display monitor show that stereo image quality factor can indicate the stereo viewing zone of autostereoscopic displays. The simulated results also show that the value of stereo image quality factor is equal to 1 at only few positions where viewers can see very good stereo images without crosstalk. And the viewers who stay at the optimal viewing distance can see the best stereo images on the display screen. The research of the stereo viewing zone helps in the design of such autostereoscopic display devices with little or without crosstalk.
