The light field display can provide vivid and natural 3D performance, which can find many applications, such as relics research and exhibition. However, current light field displays are constrained by the viewing angle, which cannot meet the expectations. With three groups directional backlights and a fast-switching LCD panel, a time-multiplexed light field display with a 120-degree wide viewing angle is demonstrated. Up to 192 views are constructed within the viewing range to ensure the right geometric occlusion and smooth parallax motion. Clear 3D images can be perceived at the entire range of viewing angle. Additionally, the designed holographic functional screen is used to recompose the light distribution and the compound aspheric lens array is optimized to balance the aberrations and improve the 3D display quality. Experimental results verify that the proposed light field display has the capability to present realistic 3D images of historical relics in 120-degree wide viewing angle.
