«Optical Device Generating Three-Dimensional Television Image out of a Plane Two-Dimensional Image (Picture)»

Questions and Answers.

Question: What is the optical element design like?
Answer: It consists of several very small lenses of a special shape.

Question: Where shall the optical element be installed?
Answer: It is installed between the audience and the telescreen.
Distance from the telescreen shall be 10 - 20 mm. It is possible to develop an LSD television tube and of a plasma panel display with a built-in optical element.

Question: How is a three-dimensional image generated out of a single two-dimensional picture?
Answer: The first method.
The optical element smears spatial position of the screen and at that the image along the sight line the image is still sharp. The feeling arises that the scenery is three-dimensional.
The second method.
The optical element in horizontal plane adds dosated change into image for the right and for the left eye. At that artificial stereo mate is created and stereo effect appears.

Question: How are optical elements made?
Answer: A mould is made, and optical elements are manufactured by impact molding or by rolling.

Question: Why is your three-dimensional image generating method better than other ones?
Answer: Special spectacles are not required; changes in the electric circuit of a TV set are not required; changes in the mode of image recording or image transfer are not required. It is possible to redisplay three-dimensional effect in old films and in artists’ paintings.

Question: Which scientists have studied this effect?
Answer: Russian cinematographic scientific schools of thought carried out research in 1930-1941. N.A.Valus and E.M.Goldovsky studied the effect of generation of three-dimensional image out of two-dimensional one. Only 1 or 2 persons could see the three-dimensional image. Our optical element maintains the vision zone equal to the zone of a common television tube.

Question: Does a sample of the optical element exist?
Answer: Yes, there is a sample made 15 years ago. It provides for a small effect of three-dimensional image generation. In order to acquire considerable effect, it is necessary to use a high-precision straightening machine tool, which gives the opportunity to process the item with optical precision
