The Optics of the Lenticular Color-Film Process

Although lenticular film is not new, it has become a subject of current interest as a possible new tool for color television. This paper provides a basic description of the film and its associated equipment, and reviews the capabilities and limitations of this method of recording color information on black-and-white emulsion. Differences in technique and new equipment requirements peculiar to lenticular film are covered from an overall system viewpoint. Filter requirements and lens design are outlined, as are possible designs for cameras, projectors, printers and viewers.
