Abstract

Method for producing an autostereoscopic display with an optical element and an image forming unit, characterized by the following method steps: provide an optical element preferably generated on a flat substrate, determine position parameters of the optical element using a sensor unit, particularly an optical sensor unit, and deposit the image forming unit onto the back of the optical element based on the position parameters determined. In addition, an autostereoscopic display produced in this manner is disclosed.

Claims (33)
