  • Patent number: 8421852
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a bonding step of bonding an image display panel and a phase difference element by disposing an adhesive layer between the entire surfaces thereof, the image display panel displaying a right-eye image and a left-eye image by regularly mixing them in a plane, the phase difference element including a right-eye image display section corresponding to the right-eye image and a left-eye image display section corresponding to the left-eye image, the phase difference element achieving different polarizations between the right-eye image display section and the left-eye image display section, the adhesive layer being composed of a transparent gel acrylic adhesive with a thickness of 25 to 100 ?m, hardness of the adhesive being more than 0 and 350000 ?N or less, holding strength of the adhesive at 40° C. after bonding being 8 to 20 N/20 mm.

  • Patent number: 8416285
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes an image display panel displaying an image for a right eye and an image for a left eye in a regularly mixed manner in a plane, a phase difference element including a right-eye image display portion corresponding to the image for the right eye and a left-eye image display portion corresponding to the image for the left eye to provide different polarization states, a light shield layer formed to project only in an area including a boundary between the right-eye image display portion and the left-eye image display portion of the phase difference element, and a binder layer interposed between the phase difference element and the image display panel to levelly coat and fill projections and recesses formed by the light shield layers, thus bonding the image display panel, the phase difference element, and the light shield layers together.

  • Patent number: 8330805
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes an image display panel displaying an image for a right eye and an image for a left eye in a regularly mixed manner in a plane, a phase difference element including a right-eye image display portion corresponding to the image for the right eye and a left-eye image display portion corresponding to the image for the left eye to provide different polarization states, a light shield layer formed to project only in an area including a boundary between the right-eye image display portion and the left-eye image display portion of the phase difference element, and a binder layer interposed between the phase difference element and the image display panel, except for a portion between a top surface of the light shield layer and the image display panel, thus bonding the image display panel, the phase difference element, and the light shield layer together.

  • Publication number: 20100033557
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display includes an image display panel that displays right-eye images and left-eye images in a regularly mixed pattern in a plane; a retarder disposed on an image output side of the image display panel and including right-eye-image display portions, corresponding to the right-eye images, and left-eye-image display portions, corresponding to the left-eye images, that cause polarization so that the right-eye images and the left-eye images have different polarization states; a polarizer disposed between the image display panel and the retarder; and a light-shielding layer disposed between the image display panel and the polarizer so as to correspond to regions including boundaries between the right-eye-image display portions and the left-eye-image display portions of the retarder.
