We propose a distortion-corrected integral imaging (II) 3D display system based on lens array holographic optical element (LAHOE). The LAHOE is used as a projection screen. The projection beam of the LAHOE is parallel light. Hence, the projection system consists of a spatial light modulator, a reverse projection lens, a relay optical element, and a telecentric lens. The acquired 3D data and the reconstructed 3D image of II are symmetrically related to each other. Therefore, there is lens distortion in the projection system. To avoid affecting the viewing experience of the viewers, the elemental image array (EIA) is projected obliquely on the LAHOE, causing the lateral distortion of the EIA. There is a position deviation in the projection system, so the projected EIA has geometric deformation. Due to the distortion of the EIA, it is difficult to precisely align the projected EIA and LAHOE, which results in serious flip of the reconstructed 3D images. The distortion of the EIA affects the asymmetry of the 3D image reconstruction. Lens distortion can be solved by the distortion compensation method. Lateral and the geometric deformation can be solved by the perspective transformations in computer graphics. After correction, the undistorted EIA is projected, and the projected EIA on the LAHOE has little distortion. In the process of 3D image reconstruction, the causes of asymmetry affecting 3D image reconstruction are analyzed, and the issues that generate these asymmetric factors are addressed. Experimental results indicate that a better 3D display effect is achieved.
