* '''Full Parallax:''' True LFDs provide both horizontal and vertical parallax, unlike earlier [[autostereoscopic display|autostereoscopic]] technologies that often limited parallax to side-to-side movement.<ref name="LeiaVerge"/>

* '''Resolution Trade-offs:''' A fundamental challenge involves balancing spatial resolution (image sharpness), angular resolution (smoothness of parallax/number of views), [[Field of view|field of view (FoV)]], and depth of field.<ref name="Huang2014EyeglassesFree"/><ref name="Lanman2020NearEyeCourse"/> This is often referred to as the spatio-angular resolution trade-off.
