  • Patent number: 8472702
    Abstract: A three-dimensional sense adjusting unit displays three-dimensional images to a user. If a displayed reaches a limit of parallax, the user responds to the three-dimensional sense adjusting unit. According to acquired appropriate parallax information, a parallax control unit generates parallax images to realize the appropriate parallax in the subsequent stereo display. The control of parallaxes is realized by optimally setting camera parameters by going back to three-dimensional data. Functions to realize the appropriate parallax are made into and presented by a library.

  • Publication number: 20130003176
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit that time-divisionally displays a plurality of view point images in N divisions, N being an integer equal to or more than 2, a backlight that irradiates the display unit with image display light, and a separation unit that separates M view point images displayed in the same time slot in the display unit, M being an integer equal to or more than 2. The backlight controllably switches the exit direction of light time-divisionally in synch with the timing of time division display by the display unit, the backlight controllably switching the exit direction of light between N directions.

  • Publication number: 20120120213
    Abstract: A display device includes: a two-dimensional display unit that displays p viewpoint videos, which are spatially divided, within one screen; and an optical device that optically splits the p viewpoint videos displayed on the display unit so as to enable a stereoscopic view at p viewpoints. The display unit includes unit pixels each formed from sub-pixels that display r types of colors necessary for a color video display, and the sub-pixels that emit light of different colors are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in a same row in a screen horizontal direction. Each of the p viewpoint videos is displayed in n sub-pixel rows, each of which is configured by the sub-pixels aligned in a first direction other than the screen horizontal direction and which are consecutive in the screen horizontal direction, in the screen horizontal direction on a cycle of (p×n) rows.

  • Publication number: 20110242466
    Abstract: In a display device that provides a first observation region with a first picture and provides a second observation region with a second picture, a double image made of the first picture and the second picture is suppressed. First columns of pixels that display the first picture and second columns of pixels that display the second picture are disposed alternately with a black matrix interposed between each neighboring pair of them. A light-shielding plate having light-shielding portions and openings is disposed above the panel.
