  • Publication number: 20140192174
    Abstract: A glasses apparatus is provided. The glasses apparatus includes: a first retarder which delays phases of a first image and a second image which are output from a display apparatus, a second retarder which delays the phases of the first image and the second image in a direction different from that of the first retarder, a first shutter glass and a second shutter glass which change polarization properties of the first image and the second image, optical axes of which are rotated according to whether power is supplied or not, and a controller which controls to selectively supply the power to the first shutter glass and the second shutter glass so that a user selectively views the first image and the second image.

  • Publication number: 20140036044
    Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes: a video processor which, in a multi-view mode, processes a plurality of contents and generates a plurality of content views, a display which displays the plurality of content views, a sync signal generator which generates a sync signal regarding the plurality of content views, a communicator which transmits the sync signal, and a controller which, upon communicating with a glasses apparatus, transmits information on a target content view which is controllable from among the plurality of content views to the glasses apparatus. Accordingly, a newly-connected glasses apparatus may be directly synchronized with a target content view.

  • Publication number: 20130127816
    Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes an image input unit which receives a 3D image, an image processing unit which divides the 3D image into a left-eye image and a right-eye image, an image output unit which includes a polarization panel that is switchable between polarization directions, and which provides a different polarization direction to the left-eye image and the right-eye image displayed alternately by switching a polarization direction of the polarization panel, a voltage driving unit which applies a driving voltage to the polarization panel, and a controller which divides the polarization panel in time or in space and drives the polarization panel with a voltage corresponding to each of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) pixels, respectively, which form at least one of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.

  • Publication number: 20130083014
    Abstract: A display apparatus and an image processing method are disclosed. The display apparatus including: a signal receiver which receives an image signal including left and right eye images; a signal processor which processes the image signal into a displayable form; a display panel which displays the processed left and right eye image; a polarizer which is provided in a front surface of the display panel, and transmits the left eye image as a first polarized light and transmits the right eye image as a second polarized light; and a controller which controls the signal processor to compensate for color distortion of the first and second polarized lights which pass through the polarizer. With this configuration, the quality of an image that is seen by a user can be improved and color distortion issues can be resolved in a 3D display apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20130038608
    Abstract: Three-dimensional glasses include a first driving portion that receives a sync signal from an image display apparatus on which a three-dimensional image is displayed, and generates and outputs a timing signal using the received sync signal; a second driving portion that receives an input voltage and outputs the input voltage using the timing signal; a storage portion that stores information for pairing with the image display apparatus and outputs the stored information on request of the first driving portion; and a lens portion having left and right eye glasses that alternately perform on and off operation based on the output voltage of the second driving portion, wherein the second driving portion and the storage portion are configured of a single chip.

  • Patent number: 8325108
    Abstract: A system for controlling brightness flicker of a parallax barrier LCD having a wide viewing angle capable of minimizing brightness flicker by adjusting a permittivity curve depending on different times into a predetermined waveform when split barriers are on/off by movement of a viewer's viewing angle, and a method thereof. A method of controlling brightness flicker of a parallax barrier LCD having a wide viewing angle for controlling brightness of a display providing a stereoscopic image by acquiring a real-time image of a viewer, recognizing an image of the viewer and extracting locations and coordinates of eyes of the viewer, and controlling turn-on/off of split barrier electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20120105746
    Abstract: A 3D display apparatus includes a 3D panel which displays a 3D image, a first circular polarization film which is attached to a front side of the 3D panel and converts the 3D image to a circular polarization component by retarding a phase, and 3D glasses including a second circular polarization film which converts the circular polarization component converted by the first circular polarization film to a linear polarization component by retarding a phase, a liquid crystal unit which allows the linear polarization component to pass or isolates the linear polarization component from passing based on a state of the power, and a linear polarization plate which allows the linear polarization component to pass or isolates the linear polarization component from passing based on a direction of the linear polarization component.
