A '''microlens-based light field display''' is a type of 3D display that uses a [[microlens array]] (MLA) to show a [[light field]]. It is a type of [[light field display]].
It is meant to reproduce light fields, which in their simplest form are the complete set of light rays traveling in all directions through a point in space, but for a whole lot of points. A microlens array based light field display is intended to recreate that virtual point between the display and your eyes, or further away from the display. Ideally, a vast number of points are generated.
