Crosstalk modeling, analysis, simulation and cancellation in passive-type stereoscopic LCD displays

Passive-type stereoscopic LCD display (or polarized 3D TV) generates 3D effect using quarter-wave patterned retarders and polarized glasses. However, passive-type stereo-scopic displays are susceptible to an undesirable effect called “crosstalk”, which degrades the 3D effect and causes increased eye strain and nausea. In this paper, crosstalk in passive 3D LCD is modeled, analyzed and simulated by implementing extended Jones matrix method. We present how the display intensity changes with viewing angles and simulate stereo images with crosstalk. Furthermore, a method of crosstalk cancellation based on linear programming in YCbCr domain is proposed. Results of our proposed method show that zero crosstalk can be achieved in passive 3D displays with less contrast loss compared with other methods.
