According to the method of the invention a simultaneously modulated light beam carrying the information of a three-dimensional image is directed to pixels (image points) defining a first light emitting surface, a component of the light beam is emitted from the pixels within a predetermined angle of view (field of view) in the different view directions, with an intensity corresponding to the three-dimensional image, the modulated light beams are directed to the pixels from different entry angles, depending on the emitting angles within the angle of view, wherein the light beams modulated corresponding to the different directions are directed to the pixels of the first light emitting surface from one or more light emitting points of a second light emitting surface, said second light emitting surface being spaced apart with a predetermined distance from the first light emitting surface. The proposed apparatus for producing three-dimensional images comprise a second light emitting surface (50) comprising light emitting points (S1...Sm), the second light emitting surface being spaced apart from the first light emitting surface (40) containing the pixels (P1...Pn) in a predetermin ed distance, and for each direction (i1...in) of the pixels (P1...Pn) of the first light emitting surface (40) there is an associated light emitti ng point (S1...Sm) of the second light emitting surface (50), and for each light emitting point (S1...Sm) there are several associated pixels (P1...Pn).
