"Design and evaluation of a large-scale autostereoscopic multi-view laser display for outdoor applications";
Optics Express, 22 (2014), 22.

State-of-the-art autostereoscopic displays often do not comply with mandatory requirements for outdoor use, because of their limitations in
size, luminance, number of 3D viewing zones, and maximum 3D viewing distances. In this paper we propose a concept for a modular
autostereoscopic multi-view laser display with sunlight readable luminance, theoretically up to several thousand 3D viewing zones, and maximum 3D
viewing distances of up to 70 meters. Each picture element contains three laser diodes, a cylindrical microlens, as well as a MEMS mirror, which
deflects the collimated light beams to the left and right eyes of multiple viewers in a time-multiplexed manner. To demonstrate the principle, we
have developed a prototype display with 5 x 3 picture elements.
