  • Publication number: 20210373671
    Abstract: An interactive method using a floating image display and a system thereof are provided. The method is performed in the display apparatus. The display apparatus links to a computer system that executes a driver for establishing a communication interface there-between. In the method, the display apparatus receives image data from the computer system and floating image data can be obtained therefrom. The floating image display apparatus displays a floating image via a display panel after a conversion process. After that, a user can manipulate directly on the floating image by gesture. A procedure running in the display apparatus can determine an interactive instruction according to variations of three-dimensional coordinates. When the interactive instruction is transmitted to the computer system, a new image data is formed in response to the interactive instruction. The display apparatus then displays a new floating image after receiving new data.

  • Publication number: 20210352264
    Abstract: An integrated stereo image display device includes a display unit, a lens array layer, and a gradient transmittance mask. The gradient transmittance mask includes a plurality of mask units, and the mask units have a gradient transmittance. An un-reconstructed image displayed by a display surface of the display unit can be reorganized and reconstructed as an integrated image to form a stereo image by the lens array layer. The gradient transmittance mask is able to provide even brightness distribution after imaging. As a result, the image would be without a grid-like appearance, and the quality of the viewing experience for a user is therefore improved.

  • Patent number: 11144194
    Abstract: An interactive stereoscopic display and an interactive sensing method for the same are provided. In the method, a gesture sensor senses a hand gesture over a stereoscopic image displayed on a stereoscopic display. The gesture is such as moving, rotating or zooming actions. The gesture is referred to, to obtain stereo coordinate variations that are used to determine an interactive instruction. Next, the stereoscopic display or a stereoscopic image server generates a new stereoscopic image data by comparing image coordinate data of the stereoscopic image with a previous state of image coordinate data according to the interactive instruction. The stereoscopic image data describes color and three-dimensional information of the stereoscopic image. Therefore, the stereoscopic display displays a new stereoscopic image using the new stereoscopic image data. The method achieves an interactive effect with the stereoscopic image using the gesture.

  • Patent number: 10473945
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method for tuning a three-dimensional image, and a display apparatus thereof. In the method, an integral image composed of multiple element images and used to reproduce a three-dimensional image is obtained. The pixel values of every element image are extracted. Depending on hardware configuration, a certain range of the pixels within one-dimensional pixels of the element image are selected. The pixel values of the selected pixels are filled in the zones divided from the one-dimensional pixels in an ascending order or a descending order, and/or with continuously-duplicate values according to pixel numbers of the selected pixels. A new element image is therefore formed. By repeating these steps, a new integral image can be created. This new integral image effectively reduces the difference between the image regions and won't make a viewer see the uncomfortable three-dimensional image due to the excessively large difference.
