  • Publication number: 20150070607
    Abstract: A three-dimensional display apparatus includes a display device capable of displaying an image, and a liquid crystal lens disposed so as to overlap the display device. The liquid crystal lens includes an insulating substrate, a first electrode formed extending in a first direction, a second electrode formed substantially parallel to the first electrode, a high resistance portion electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode, an opposing substrate, a common electrode, a liquid crystal layer, and a controller. The sheet resistance of the high resistance portion is in 100 G?/sq or less. The controller controls, in one of the modes, the first electrode and the second electrode to be at different potentials.

  • Publication number: 20100156774
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for reducing colour shift in relation to viewing angle in an LCD. The method includes receiving a plurality of pixel data constituting an image, each pixel data including a plurality of sub-pixel colour components having respective data values; for each of the pixel data, comparing the sub-pixel colour component data values included therein; and based on the comparison, modifying the sub-pixel colour component data values included in the pixel data to reduce colour shift when displayed on the LCD.

  • Publication number: 20070040780
    Abstract: A display device is provided that comprises a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image by spatial light modulation, and circuitry for switching liquid crystal in the panel between having a first configuration in a first mode to cause an image displayed using the panel to be discernible from a wide range of viewing angles, and having a second configuration in a second mode to cause an image displayed using the panel to be discernible substantially only from within a narrow range of viewing angles. Several types of display panel to achieve such in-panel switching between public and private viewing modes are disclosed.
