  • Publication number: 20230015454
    Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus including a screen portion in which unit panels in which a plurality of pixels formed from light-emitting elements is disposed are arranged, in which a first pixel-to-pixel pitch that is a space between two outer end pixels adjacent to each other across outer peripheries of the unit panels is equal to or larger than a second pixel-to-pixel pitch that is a space between each of the outer end pixels in each of the unit panels and a pixel adjacent to the outer end pixel, and the pixel-to-pixel pitches adjacent to each other in the array of the pixel-to-pixel pitches in a direction in which the first pixel-to-pixel pitch and the second pixel-to-pixel pitch are arranged in the unit panel are set to be P(in)?P(out) where P(in) denotes the pixel-to-pixel pitch located on a central side of the unit panel and P(out) denotes the pixel-to-pixel pitch located on an outer peripheral side of the unit panel.

  • Patent number: 11169392
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit having a display area in which a two-dimensional image is displayed, and an optical element configured by disposing a plurality of structural bodies for separating the image displayed in the display area into images observed at predetermined observation positions arranged at intervals in a horizontal direction. In the display area, pixels are arranged in a matrix pattern in the horizontal direction and in a vertical direction, and pixels having different planar shapes are arranged for each row in a certain cycle, and the structural bodies of the optical element are disposed to be tilted at an inclination which satisfies (J+0.5)/3 (J is an integer of 3 or more) with respect to the vertical direction with a number of pixels as a unit.
