1. An apparatus comprising:
a display device comprising:
a lenticular layer, the lenticular layer comprising (i) a first side, (ii) a second side opposite the first side, and (iii) particles in a fluid medium between the first and second sides of the lenticular layer, the second side of the lenticular layer comprising lens elements forming a lenticular array; and
a color filter configured to shift in relation to the lenticular layer along a specified axis that is perpendicular to a direction of the lenticular layer from the color filter;
wherein the particles of the lenticular layer are configured to move within the fluid medium such that (i) the lens elements are filled with the particles in a first mode or (ii) the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in a second mode;
wherein the display device is configured to operate as a directional display in one of the first and second modes and as a single display in another of the first and second modes;
wherein a shape of the lens elements is adjustable using an actuating force on the lenticular layer; and
wherein the display device is further configured to operate in a third mode as a hybrid display in which a first portion of the display device has a lensing effect enabled and a second portion of the display device has the lensing effect disabled.
