Abstract

A method for three-dimensional display in which a plurality of individual image elements αij are made visible simultaneously in a raster of columns i and lines j, wherein the image elements αij reproduce partial information from a plurality of views Ak (k1 . . . n) of a scene/object, and adjacent image elements αij radiate light of different wavelengths or wavelength regions is provided. In a method of the type described above, wavelength-dependent propagation directions are predetermined for the light radiated from the image elements αij. The propagation directions within an observation space in which an observer is situated intersect in a plurality of intersection points which correspond to observation positions. From each observation position, one eye of an observer perceives predominantly partial information of a first selection and the other eye perceives predominantly partial information of a second selection from views Ak (k=1 . . . n).
