1. An autostereoscopic display, comprising a display for displaying an image and a lens array where a plurality of lenses are provided to match with a plurality of images of said display, wherein:
a stereoscopic image generating/outputting system is provided to generate a stereoscopic image by using a lens-pixel matching positional relation information to indicate as to which position of the image of the display the center of each lens in said lens array matches with; and
the stereoscopic image generated by said stereoscopic image generating/outputting system is displayed on said display,
wherein an image is taken on a part of the display and the lens array integrated with each other at a position where optical axis of the camera concurs with optical axis of each lens by using a camera of distortion correctable type, a matching positional relation of a part of the lenses and the pixels is obtained by using a plurality of the pickup images by changing position of the pixel to be displayed on the display, and, for the remaining lenses, the information is obtained by interpolation from the lens-pixel matching positional relation of said part of the lenses.
