Abstract
A point light source (PLS) display with enhanced viewing angle (VA) is proposed. The maximum VA of a conventional PLS display is equal to the propagation angle of the PLS, so a light-source array (3×3) was used to enlarge the propagation angle of the PLS in the horizontal and vertical directions. The number of converging elemental image points increases due to the large propagation angle of the PLS; thus, the VA of the integrated point was enhanced. From the experimental results, the VA of the proposed method was 2.6 times larger than the maximum VA of a conventional PLS display.
