Abstract: Three-dimensional (3-D) display is an ultimate display technology. This chapter outlines the basic operation principles for generating depth perception, in order to realize 3-D displays. It discusses several types of 3-D display devices: stereoscopic displays, autostereoscopic displays, integral imaging, holography, and volumetric displays. Depth cues enable us to perceive the world in three dimensions and estimate the distance of an object. Complex, natural objects contain a variety of depth cues. Most of them are available in 2-D images, such as occlusion, perspective, and size. A stereoscopic display requires viewers to wear special glasses in order to see two slightly different 2D images in two different eyes. The 2D images are integrated by human brain to generate 3D depth perception. Autostereoscopic displays can generate stereoscopic images and form 3-D perception without the viewer wearing special glasses.
