Abstract: A display device has a display panel for displaying a composite image to allow a viewer to see a 3D image. The composite image has a plurality of right and left image strips alternately arranged. The display device also has camera to monitor a viewing position of a viewer. The camera has a camera lens and a sensor with a plurality of right sensor zones and left sensor zones to capture the viewer's right eye and left eye images. When the viewer is at a viewing position that the 3D image viewed by the viewer appears pseudostereoscopic, the viewer's right eye image is in one of the left sensor zones and left eye image is in one of the right sensor zones. A processor changes the order of the right and left image strips so that the viewer can see a orthostereoscopic image at that viewing position.

Abstract: A mobile device has at least two camera lenses for taking a first image and a second image for forming a 3D image and a processor for composing a composite image from first image strips compressed from the first image and second image strips compressed from the second image in an interlaced manner. The composite image is conveyed to a display panel so that a viewer can see a 3D image through a parallax sheet with parallax separating units. The 3D image can be displayed with different magnification factors. When four lenses are used for taking a first pair of images and a second pair of images, the first pair is used for composing the composite image and the 3D image is viewed through a lenslet sheet.

Abstract: A multiple-lens camera has only one image sensor to capture a number of images at different viewing angles. Using a single image sensor, instead of a number of separate image sensors, to capture multiple images simultaneously, one can avoid the calibration process to calibrate the different image sensors to make sure that color balance and the gain are the same for all the image sensors used. The camera has a processor to receive from the image sensor electronic signals indicative of image data of the captured of images. The camera has a connector to transfer the processed image data to an external device or to an image display. The image display device is configured to display one of said plurality of images.

Abstract: A mobile device has at least two camera lenses for taking a first image and a second image as a stereo-image pair. The mobile device also has an electronic processor for composing a composite image from first image strips compressed from the first image and second image strips compressed from the second image in an interlaced manner. The composite image is conveyed to a display panel so that a viewer can see a 3D image through a parallax separating sheet with parallax separating units. The composite image can also be electronically shifted by haft an image strip to accommodate a viewer with a dominant eye. The shifting can be initiated by a viewer using a switch on the mobile device.

Using a single image sensor, instead of a number of separate image sensors, to capture multiple images simultaneously, one can avoid the calibration process to calibrate the different image sensors to make sure that color balance and the gain are the same for all the image sensors used. The camera has an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the distance between the image lenses, and a processor to receive from the image sensor electronic signals indicative of image data of the captured of images. The camera has a connector to transfer the processed image data to an external device or to an image display. The image display device is configured to display one of said plurality of images.

Abstract: An electronic device including a display panel having an optical plate attached thereon is disclosed. The optical plate includes a parallax separation sheet to allow a user to see a 3D image displayed on the display panel, and a touch-sensing layer to allow a user to select stored items such as pictures in the electronic device or to enter information into the electronic device. A method for assembly the electronic device is also disclosed. The method uses three cameras and three monitors to check the alignment between the optical plate and display panel. In order to achieve a correct alignment, rotating device and shifting device can be used to adjust the position of the display panel relative to the optical plate.
