Vector light field 3D display schematic

Caption

The researchers carefully designed diffractive flat lenses that were then intertwined to create a pixelated view modulator, the optical component that creates the various perspectives for a scene in a light field display. A 3D display that creates four views like the one pictured would incorporate four of these lenses, each of which converges the light into a unique view.
