  • Patent number: 10356397
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus and method are provided. The 3D display apparatus may include a display screen configured to display each of a plurality of sub-images included in a single frame of a 3D image using a time-division multiplexing (TDM), a polarizer configured to polarize each of the displayed sub-images by changing a polarization direction using the TDM, in synchronization with the display screen, and microlens arrays arranged in a plurality of layers and configured to sequentially refract the polarized sub-images, respectively.

  • Patent number: 10317687
    Abstract: A display device may include a plurality of display panels, and light path adjusters disposed on upper portions of the plurality of the display panels. The light path adjusters include a lens array configured to transfer different beams emitted from the plurality of display panels to each eye of a user, and a joint removal structure disposed on one side of the light path adjusters corresponding to a connecting joint that connects the plurality of display panels. The joint removal structure is configured to refract the beams emitted from the plurality of display panels.

  • Patent number: 10126562
    Abstract: A method for reducing a moire fringe includes calculating a moire fringe width for each of different angles between a microlens array and pixels of a display screen. The method includes determining, to be a final inclination angle between the microlens array and the pixels of the display screen, one of the different inclination angles that corresponds to a minimum width among the calculated moire fringe widths.

  • Patent number: 9953247
    Abstract: A method of determining eye position information includes identifying an eye area in a facial image; verifying a two-dimensional (2D) feature in the eye area; and performing a determination operation including, determining a three-dimensional (3D) target model based on the 2D feature; and determining 3D position information based on the 3D target model.

  • Patent number: 9948913
    Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus are provided. The image processing method may include determining whether stereoscopic objects that are included in an image pair and that correspond to each other are aligned on the same horizontal line. The method includes determining whether the image pair includes target objects having different geometric features from those of the stereoscopic objects if the stereoscopic objects are not aligned on the same horizontal line. The method includes performing image processing differently for the stereoscopic objects and for the target objects if the image pair includes the target objects.
