ABSTRACT:
A hybrid driving arrangement of multiple 3D graphics renderers and multiple synthetic stereo processors is provided for driving multiple view displays such as four view display devices. The device is an LCD screen device with an overlying lenticular screen, with the arrangement of pixels driven from the four different sources relative to the individual lenticular arrays being such that, at viewing locations V1 to V4, the images from respective ones of the four sources (76-79) can be seen. As the main viewer of such a multiple view display will typically be positioned in the center of the display as shown, and as such will only see a stereoscopic image provided by the two central views V2 and V3, the image sources for the two center views V2,V3 are respective 3-D graphics renderers, and those for the other views, post-processing stages. Thus the main viewer has the best quality view while viewers to the side suffer some (acceptable) degradation.
