Zusammenfassung:A display enabling multiple views for the purpose of autostereoscopic viewing includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) and a parallax barrier. Additional means to compensate for refraction effects occurring at a refractive boundary of the screen are included. Such refraction at the periphery of a display leads to inaccurate alignment of the optimum viewing fields, known as crosstalk. Various compensation means are suggested to counter this effect to improve the viewer's perception of the display. Embodiments of the compensation means include variation (ie deliberate non-uniformity) in pitch and slit width of the parallax barrier, variation in the pixel positions of the SLM and provision of a transparent layer exhibiting a variation of refractive index, such that the refractive index at regions at the periphery of the display is lower than that at its centre.
