Abstract
Multiview 3D display technologies are advantageous due to their smooth motion parallax, visual discomfort alleviation, and wide depth of focus. However, the potential applications of this technology are constrained by its bulky size and limited light modulation capability. Metasurfaces offer diverse wavefront control by manipulating the phase, amplitude, and polarization of light. They provide design freedom and high image quality for multiview 3D display technologies. Here, we propose an ultrathin metasurface-based super multiview 3D display that can effectively modulate the flexibility of linearly polarized (LP) and circularly polarized (CP) electromagnetic waves. Numerical results demonstrate that it can produce 24 views together for LP and CP waves and high-quality reconstructed 3D images are obtained. The suggested metasurface for super multiview 3D display is promising to underpin the advancement of meta-optics-based operations in 3D display, imaging and integrated optics.
