Abstract
A lenticular device for displaying interlaced images. The device includes an interlaced image and a lens array. The lens sets each have two or more adjacent lenticules and are paired mapped to sets of the image elements such that two or more lenses are used to visually display a set of image elements rather than a single lenticule. The number of lenses is a non-integral multiple of the number of image elements in the image set such that the rays exiting from the lens sets are at unique viewing angles associated with each of the image elements. The image sets include interlaces from sequential images, and the interlaces are provided in the interlaced image so as to have an order that differs from the sequential ordering of the images to provide a sequential output of the images.
