Abstract

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) integral imaging system using an elastic lens array instead of conventional rigid lens array. The lens array is made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that is optically transparent and flexible material. We can stretch the PDMS lens array to be expanded into a certain extent, and control the lens pitch of the system easily. That flexible design enables a fine 3D integral imaging display.
