Abstract

In order to provide an active matrix liquid crystal spatial light modulator suitable for use in autostereoscopic displays, the conventional delta arrangement of liquid crystal pixels is formed. However, instead of forming the conventional black mask, a new type of black mask is provided. This black mask defines groups of two or more columns of pixel openings such that the columns of each group are substantially contiguous.
