Abstract: An image display device displays a stereoscopic image by using a parallax barrier method and includes a transmissive image display surface on which images of left-eye image data and right-eye image data are alternately displayed; an image forming unit including optical members having strip-shaped patterns with optical properties arranged on a surface located on a back surface side of the image display surface; and strip-shaped light sources arranged on an illumination arrangement surface, which is a surface located on a back surface side of the image forming unit, and configured to irradiate the image display surface with illumination light. A slit area of the parallax barrier method is formed by an image obtained by forming an image of the illumination light from the strip-shaped light sources on the back surface side of the image display surface by using the optical members of the image forming unit.

Abstract: An image display device acquires positional information including a distance between at least one eye of an observer and an image display surface, and corrects, based on the acquired positional information, a relative positional relationship between slit areas and an image displayed on the image display surface, by using a width smaller than the width of one subpixel as a minimum correction unit.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes at least one display apparatus that displays parallactic first and second images; an image-separation apparatus that separates the first and second images from the display apparatus; an image formation system that form the separated first and second images on the respective eyes of a person viewing the stereoscopic images; and a position detection means able to acquire information on the positions of the viewer's eyeballs. The image-separation apparatus is provided between the display apparatus and the image formation system on a light path on which light information emitted by the display apparatus reaches the viewer. The image formation system is positioned between the image-separation apparatus and the viewer, and real images are formed between the image formation system and the viewer. Also, display contents of the first and second images are changed based on the positions of the viewer's eyeballs.

Abstract: A method for displaying simulated 3D space as an image includes the steps presenting a different image to each eye of a viewer by use of a 3D image display apparatus having an image display section, and using a convex lens to present as a real image within reach of the viewer's hands a 3D image produced from the images displayed at the image display section by parallax between the eyes. A device is provided for carrying out the method.
