Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus which reduces flicker and crosstalk, provides a viewing screen of high brightness without decreased resolution. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display which has first and second image forming areas having horizontal rows of pixels, and an optical unit in which first and second polarizing areas associated with the first and second image forming areas are arranged. A right eye image is displayed on the first image forming areas and a left eye image is displayed on the second image forming areas, and these areas are alternately replaced or overwritten every time a frame is switched. Phase difference states are replaced between the first polarizing areas and the second polarizing areas of the optical unit, synchronized with replacement of the first and second image forming areas.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus and method which reduce crosstalk and select either high resolution images or bright images. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes first and second image forming areas, each area including multiple contiguous horizontal rows. The areas are alternately disposed in a liquid crystal display, and display right and left eye images on the first and second image forming areas, respectively. The display displays the images in a fixed manner or replaces or overwrites the image areas every time a frame is switched, and displays a frame image in which the right and left eye images are simultaneously displayed. When the first and second image forming areas are alternately replaced, according to the frame switching timing, the backlight is controlled to turn on and phase difference states of right and left eye glasses of polarized eyeglasses are alternately replaced.

Abstract: In a display apparatus simultaneous left and right views with reduced crosstalk provide a stereoscopic image. The apparatus includes a liquid crystal display having first and second image forming areas including horizontal lines, and an optical unit in which first and second polarizing areas, corresponding to the image forming areas, are arranged. Frame images display a right eye image in the first image forming areas, and display a left eye image in the second image forming areas. The image forming areas are alternately switched or, updated every time a frame is switched. A boundary between the first and second image forming areas is moved to replace the first and second image forming areas, which display the right eye image and the left eye image. The first and second polarizing areas of the optical unit interchange phase difference states with each other.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus reduces flicker and crosstalk, and provides a viewing screen of high brightness without decreasing resolution. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes: a liquid crystal display which has a first image forming area and a second image forming area corresponding to horizontal rows; and an optical unit in which a first polarizing area and a second polarizing area are arranged in correspondence with the first and second image forming areas. A frame image displays a right eye image on the first image forming area and a left eye image on the second image forming area, and alternately replaces or overwrites the image forming areas every time the frame is switched. The optical unit replaces, in synchronization with the timing at which the first and second image forming areas are replaced. The phase difference states are replaced between the first polarizing area and the second polarizing area.

Abstract: Right and left eye images constituting each frame image are displayed on odd and even horizontal lines, or even and odd horizontal lines, respectively, of a display screen of a liquid crystal display. When the display switches from one frame to the next, the right and left eye images are switched between the odd and even horizontal lines, or the displayed right and left eye images are overwritten with the same images, so that the right and left eye images are interlaced with each other. Each time the right and left eye images are switched between the odd and even horizontal lines, the lighting state of the backlight is adjusted and the right and left sides of the polarized glasses are switched between two retarding states so that the right side is in one retarding state, the left side is in the other retarding state, and vice versa.
