  • Patent number: 8854439
    Abstract: A stereoscopic picture is viewable from all directions with high reproducibility without complicating a stereoscopic display mechanism, compared to related art. A cylindrical rotation section 104 rotating around a rotation shaft as a rotation center, a two-dimensional light-emitting element array 101 mounted in the rotation section and having a light-emission surface formed of a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in a matrix, and a slit 102 arranged in a circumferential surface of the rotation section in a position facing the light-emission surface are included. As the two-dimensional light-emitting element array 101, a two-dimensional light-emitting element array including a curved portion with a concave surface which is formed as a light-emission surface is used. The plurality of light-emitting elements emit light, which corresponds to orientation of the light-emission surface, to outside of the rotation section through the slit 102.
