  • Publication number: 20140098418
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual-directional 3D image displaying method, being used in a case when a flat-panel display screen and a view separation device are used for dual-directional 3D image displaying, which comprises the steps of: using a display screen having a sub-pixel arrangement of 45-degree slant angle to display a multi-view 3D combined image; and using a view separation device featured by a 45-degree slant angle to perform a view separation operation upon the multi-view 3D combined image. Thereby, an object of dual-directional displaying of 3D images can be achieved using only one view separation device, without being bothered by conventional problems, such as cross-talk and color distortion.

  • Patent number: 8493385
    Abstract: A 3D image display device mainly includes a multi-view image, a view memory, a memory image configuration, combination, and conversion procedure, a display memory, a conversion display controller, a display screen having sub-pixels in Delta configuration, and a view separation device. The memory image configuration, combination, and conversion procedure mainly performs processes of sub-pixel image configuration sequence conversion and multi-view image combination on the multi-view image, and outputs a recovered multi-view combined image. The conversion display controller mainly performs sub-pixel image data configuration sequence conversion on image data on even-numbered or odd-numbered horizontal scan lines of the recovered multi-view combined image, and then outputs the horizontal scan image data. The display screen having sub-pixels in Delta configuration receives the horizontal scan image data and displays the recovered multi-view combined image.
