  • Publication number: 20240104850
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit and a reproduction control unit. The acquisition unit acquires avoidance region information about an avoidance region where at least one of entrance of a target person who is a target to whom virtual content is reproduced or entrance of a virtual object for the target person that is displayed to the target person is a target to be avoided, the avoidance region information being generated on the basis of at least one of a position of another object different from the target person or a position of a virtual object for the other object displayed to the other object. The reproduction control unit controls reproduction of the virtual content to the target person on the basis of the acquired avoidance region information.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes pixel structures disposed in a matrix, and includes a display surface flat in a non-curved direction and curved in a curved direction orthogonal to the non-curved direction. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal layer, a counter substrate, and an array substrate. The counter substrate faces to the liquid crystal layer, includes a black matrix, and is curved along the display surface. The array substrate holds the liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the counter substrate, and is curved along the display surface and provided with first electrode lines extending in a direction orthogonal to the non-curved direction and second electrode lines intersecting with the first electrode lines. Two or more of the second electrode lines are disposed between pixel structures adjacent to each other in a direction intersecting with the non-curved direction.

  • Patent number: 9900588
    Abstract: A display panel includes sub-pixel pairs arranged laterally at a predetermined pitch, the sub-pixel pair including two sub pixels displaying images for right and left eyes respectively. A parallax-barrier shutter panel includes sub apertures switching light-transmitting and light-blocking states by driving a liquid crystal layer held between two transparent substrates with transparent electrodes extending vertically. The sub apertures are arranged laterally at a pitch obtained by dividing a reference parallax-barrier pitch by N (N being an even number equal to or greater than four), the reference parallax-barrier pitch being determined on the basis of a predetermined design observation distance and the pitch of the sub-pixel pairs. The parallax-barrier shutter panel includes common driving areas obtained by dividing a display area laterally.

  • Patent number: 9869869
    Abstract: Each pixel of a multiple view liquid crystal display in a normally black mode includes a counter electrode provided with a slit for generating a fringe electric field. An alignment film subjected to liquid crystal alignment processing in a predetermined direction is disposed on a surface of a TFT substrate provided with the counter electrode. An angle formed by an extending direction of a slit at an end of a pixel region (a first region) and a direction of the liquid crystal alignment processing is greater than an angle formed by the extending direction of the slit in a central part of the pixel region (a second region) and the direction of the liquid crystal alignment processing. The first region has a higher transmittance than that in the second region when low luminance display is carried out.

  • Patent number: 9729848
    Abstract: The display device includes a display panel on which sub-pixel pairs are arranged in a lateral direction, and a parallax barrier shutter panel on which sub-openings that can be changed between a light transmittance state and a light-shielding state are arranged in a lateral direction. Arbitrary allocated number of adjacent sub-openings among the plural sub-openings belonging to a reference parallax barrier pitch are put into a light transmittance state, and the remaining sub-openings are put into a light-shielding state, so that a general opening is formed on the parallax barrier shutter panel. A sub-opening pitch of the sub-opening on the boundary part between the adjacent common driving areas is different from the sub-opening pitch of the other sub-openings.

  • Patent number: 9507216
    Abstract: Only a first pixel electrode exists just under a first light shielding part of a black matrix, a gate insulating film and an interlayer insulating film exist on the upper layer of the first pixel electrode, and this area is an end area. Just under an opening of the black matrix, a second pixel electrode exists on the uppermost layer of a TFT substrate. The second pixel electrode is formed on the gate insulating film and the interlayer insulating film except a contact part. An area where the second pixel electrode exists on the uppermost layer of the TFT substrate is a main area. By a combination structure of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, the transmittance of the liquid crystal layer in the end area is made relatively higher than the transmittance in the main area.

  • Patent number: 9412312
    Abstract: A one-pixel structure of a display panel included in an auto-stereoscopic image display device adopts an in-plane switching mode. Transparent counter electrodes that are not provided in a liquid crystal panel of a normal in-plane switching mode are formed correspondingly to pixel peripheral regions on a second transparent substrate side and, in 3-dimensional image display, a vertical electric field is forcibly generated between the transparent counter electrodes and the comb-shaped electrodes, which causes the liquid crystal molecules to rise to show black display in the pixel peripheral regions. In 2-dimensional image display, meanwhile, the transparent counter electrodes are set to be floating, and the display panel is caused to have a structure substantially equivalent to a structure in which the transparent counter electrodes are not provided, to thereby make the display in pixel peripheral regions identical to the display (brightness) in a pixel main region.
