Abstract

In the present paper we propose a time-division multiplexing anaglyph method to realize full color stereoscopy with little flicker at the low refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is compatible with the conventional 2D displays. Because of the low refresh rate, applying time-division multiplexing method using shutter glasses to conventional displays results in severe flicker. To overcome this problem, we propose a time-division multiplexing anaglyph method, where the green components of right-eye image is shown to the right eye and the red and blue component of left-eye image is shown to the left eye at odd frames, while the red and blue component of right-eye image is shown to the right eye and the green components of left-eye image is shown to the left eye at even frames. We carry out an experiment to let the subjects see time-division multiplexing anaglyph images and the result shows that flicker can be reduced to an acceptable level by the proposed method. The proposed method can also be applied to widening the viewing angle of time-division multiplexing integral imaging.
