A sequential light field display is a display that uses a light source array to transmit light and reflect it off of a high speed binary display, such as a DMD, in multiple directions.[1]
Sequential light field displays use novel techniques.
Andrew Maimone developed this.[1]
The light source is directional. So one LED lights up in the backlight array, which sends light through a pinhole onto the DMD, but it is not centered on the DMD. The DMD must change where it is displaying an image's focal segment in the XY plane of the display according to which backlight LED is lit. For example, a leftmost LED would mean the DMD should have a pattern more on the right side of the DMD.
