Abstract: In a control board and a display apparatus, the control board includes a timing controller, and first and second connectors. The timing controller receives a first external image control signal having one of a first and a second frequency, and selectively receives a second external image control signal having the first frequency when the first external image control signal has the first frequency. The timing controller selects one of the first and second frequencies based on the first and second external image control signals to output an image driving signal. The first connector connects the timing controller to an external video system to transfer the first external image control signal to the timing controller. The second connector connects the timing controller to the external video system to transfer the second external image control signal to the timing controller. Thus, the control board is commonly used in the first and second frequencies.

Abstract: A display device convertible between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) is provided. The convertible display device is based on integral imaging (II) or integral photography (IP) and displays 2D or 3D images. An image processor generates and transmits elemental images to reconstruct a 3D image or transmits a desired two-dimensional image, and a transmission-type display device displays the image received from the image processor. At this time, a diffusion rate (or haze rate) of light illuminated from a point light source array that is made of a plurality of point light sources is controlled by a variable diffuser and as the light illuminates the transmission-type display device, the device displays 2D or 3D images. According to the present invention, a point light source array is generated by controlling a variable diffuser and as a result a display device convertible between 3D and 2D is achieved.

The present invention comprises an elemental lens switch located between a lens array and an image display for selectively opening and closing each elemental lens; an image processor for generating elemental images and synchronizing them with control signals of the elemental lens switch; an image display for displaying the elemental images; and a lens array comprising elemental lenses, for forming the three-dimensional image by refracting and integrating the elemental images displayed on the display. Hence, it is possible to display three-dimensional images with a wider viewing angle than that of the conventional IP method, because each elemental lens is synchronized with the corresponding elemental image and is switched properly.
