Abstract

A 3D display element is disclosed. In an embodiment a 3D display element includes a light-emitting component configured to emit light and an optical arrangement, wherein the light-emitting component includes a plurality of triplets, each triplet including a first, a second and a third light-emitting region, wherein the triplets are arranged side by side in a first lateral plane, wherein the regions are arranged side by side in the first lateral plane, wherein the optical arrangement is configured to diverge light of adjacent triplets passing through the optical arrangement, and wherein light of a triplet passing through the optical arrangement is mixed.

Claims (31)

1. A 3D display element comprising:

a light-emitting component configured to emit light; and

an optical arrangement,

wherein the light-emitting component comprises a plurality of triplets, each triplet comprising a first, a second and a third light-emitting region,

wherein the triplets are arranged side by side in a first lateral plane,

wherein the regions are arranged side by side in the first lateral plane,

wherein the optical arrangement is configured to diverge light of adjacent triplets passing through the optical arrangement,

wherein light of a triplet passing through the optical arrangement is mixed,

wherein the optical arrangement comprises a first optical element and a second optical element,

wherein the first optical element is arranged between the light-emitting component and the second optical element in a beam path,

wherein the second optical element is a diffractive optical element, and

wherein the light-emitting component is arranged in a focal plane of the first optical element.

2. The 3D display element according claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third regions are configured to emit pairwise light of a different wavelength range.

3. The 3D display element according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical element comprises a lens array in which a plurality of lenses are arranged side by side in a second lateral plane, and wherein a number of triplets is greater than a number of lenses of the lens array.

4. The 3D display element according to claim 3 , wherein the lens array comprises a plurality of cylindrical lenses.

5. The 3D display element according to claim 3 , wherein the first lateral plane and/or the second lateral plane are curved.

6. The 3D display element according to claim 5 , wherein a lens of the lens array is arranged in a beam path of light of at least five triplets.

7. The 3D display element according to claim 3 , wherein triplets associated with a common lens are arranged side by side in at least two directions along the first lateral plane.

8. The 3D display element according to claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third regions are arranged side by side along a common lateral direction.

9. A 3D display element comprising:

a light-emitting component configured to emit light; and

an optical arrangement,

wherein the light-emitting component comprises a plurality of triplets, each triplet comprising a first, a second and a third light-emitting region,

wherein the triplets are arranged side by side in a first lateral plane,

wherein the regions are arranged side by side in the first lateral plane,

wherein the optical arrangement comprises a first optical element and a second optical element,

wherein the second optical element is arranged in a beam path between the light-emitting component and the first optical element,

wherein the second optical element is a grating which forms a frame around each triplet respectively,

wherein the first and second optical element are arranged in direct contact with each other,

wherein the optical arrangement is configured to diverges light of adjacent triplets passing through the optical arrangement, and

wherein light of a triplet passing through the optical arrangement is mixed.
