  • Patent number: 9946086
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display includes a display panel; a polarization control panel that is positioned on the display panel and controls the polarization direction of light incident from the display panel; a lens panel positioned on the polarization control panel and having a plurality of lens shaping portions; a first driver for driving the display panel; a second driver for supplying a driving voltage to the polarization control panel; a timing controller for controlling the first driver and the second driver; and a sensing unit that senses the driving voltage supplied to the polarization control panel and outputs a decision signal for deciding whether the sensed driving voltage is in normal condition or abnormal condition.

  • Patent number: 9607580
    Abstract: The stereoscopic image display includes a control voltage generator and a control voltage compensator. The control voltage generator generates a discharge control voltage to be applied to a discharge control line at a slight-on level, which is higher than a gate low voltage and is lower than a gate high voltage, and periodically reduces the discharge control voltage to a level of the gate low voltage in the 3D mode. The control voltage compensator receives the discharge control voltage from the control voltage generator, amplifies a feedback discharge control voltage supplied from a first part of a display panel based on the received discharge control voltage, and applies the amplified feedback discharge control voltage, as a compensated discharge control voltage, to a second part opposite the first part of the display panel.

  • Patent number: 9086682
    Abstract: A digital hologram image reproducing device includes a light modulator reproducing a hologram interference fringe image, a first panel driving circuit which scans a first display panel and writes data of the hologram interference fringe image to the first display panel, a first timing controller controlling an operation timing of the first panel driving circuit, a second panel driving circuit which scans a second display panel and writes data of the hologram interference fringe image to the second display panel, a second timing controller controlling an operation timing of the second panel driving circuit, and a panel synchronization circuit which simultaneously transfers a polarity control signal received from one of the first and second timing controllers to the first and second panel driving circuits.

  • Patent number: 8866805
    Abstract: A stereoscopic image display includes a display panel which includes a plurality of pixels each including a main display unit and an auxiliary display unit, is divided into a first screen block and a second screen block, and includes a first discharge control line connected to auxiliary display units of the first screen block and a second discharge control line connected to auxiliary display units of the second screen block, a control voltage generator which generates a first discharge control voltage of a first AC waveform and a second discharge control voltage of a second AC waveform, of which a phase is later than a phase of the first AC waveform by a half frame period, and a control voltage delay unit which delays the first and second discharge control voltages.

  • Patent number: 8836692
    Abstract: An image display device includes a display panel which selectively displays a 2D image and a 3D image and includes a plurality of pixels, a patterned retarder for dividing light from the display panel into first polarized light and second polarized light, and a control voltage generation circuit which generates a 2D control voltage at an off-level and generates a 3D control voltage alternately having a slight-on level and the off-level every predetermined period of time. The slight-on level is higher than the off-level and is lower than a full-on level. Each pixel includes a main display unit including a first pixel electrode and a first common electrode and a subsidiary display unit including a second pixel electrode, a second common electrode, and a discharge control switch.
