Abstract: A display device includes a display panel configured to receive a first-frame image signal for displaying a first-frame image in a first frame. The display panel is further configured to receive a second-frame image signal for displaying a second-frame image in a second frame that immediately follows the first frame such that the display panel appears to display a transition region associated with a boudary between a portion of the first-frame image and a portion of the second-frame image and moving in a moving direction. The display device further includes an optical effect layer and electrode sets. The electrode sets respectively overlap different portions of the optical effect layer and are configured for sequentially starting affecting the different portions of the optical effect layer such that the optical effect layer appears to display a light-blocking section that moves in the moving direction and overlaps the transition region.

Abstract: A display panel displays a first image during a first subframe and a second image during a second subframe. A display panel driver provides the first and second images to the display panel. A light source part provides light to the display panel. A light converting element is disposed between the display panel and the light source part and includes a barrier part and a lens part disposed on the barrier part. The barrier part has a plurality of independently controllable barrier groups. A position detecting part determines a position of a viewer. A barrier driver controls the barrier part to selectively transmit light from the light source part based on the viewer's position. A single barrier group includes a plurality of barriers, and a single barrier includes a plurality of sub-barriers.

Abstract: A display panel includes a transmit-control portion and a light blocking portion. The pixel-transmit portion may include a pair of first sides and a pair of second sides and transmitting light, the pair of the first sides being inclined with respect to a horizontal-axis direction and substantially parallel with each other, the pair of the second sides being inclined with respect to a vertical-axis direction and substantially parallel with each other. The blocking portion may surround the pixel-transmit portion and block the light.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a light source part and a directional light projecting element. The display panel displays a first image during a first subframe and a different second image during a second subframe. The light source part provides light to the display panel. The directional light projecting element is disposed between the display panel and the light source part. The directional light projecting element includes a barrier part and a lens part disposed above the barrier part. The barrier part has a plurality of barriers defined as a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes crossing the first electrodes. The lens part has a plurality of lenses disposed in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction. Each of the lenses corresponds to a subset of plural lenses among the plurality of the barriers.

Abstract: An active barrier panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a first opening electrode configured to operate as a first opening transmitting the light and a first barrier electrode configured to as a first barrier blocking the light, the first opening electrode and the first barrier electrode having a step structure. The second substrate includes a second opening electrode configured to operate as a second opening and crossing at a right angle to the first opening electrode, and a second barrier electrode configured to operate as a second barrier and crossing at a right angle to the first barrier electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second substrates.

Abstract: A display apparatus may enable a viewer to perceive an image. The viewer has a right eye and a left eye, the right eye having a right pupil, the left eye having a left pupil. The display apparatus includes a display panel including a plurality of subpixels. The display apparatus further includes a position detecting part configured to detect a user location related to the viewer. The display apparatus further includes a light controlling element configured for transmitting light provided from one or more of the subpixels toward one or more of the right eye and the left eye. The display apparatus further includes a display panel driver configured to change subpixel-eye association for at least one of the subpixels in response to a change of the user location detected by the position detecting part.

Abstract: In a 3D image display apparatus, a display unit includes a plurality of pixels and alternately displays a left-eye image in a first group of the pixels and a right-eye image in a second group of the pixels along a first direction, a barrier unit includes a light blocking portion blocking light received from the display unit and a light transmitting portion transmitting the light received from the display unit, and the light blocking portion and the light transmitting portion are alternately arranged in the first direction. A position information extraction unit determines the distance between the display unit and a viewer watching the display unit, and a control unit controls the display unit and the barrier unit in accordance with the distance information to allow the display unit and the barrier unit to be operated in a first mode or a second mode. Thus, a distance range in which the viewer perceives the 3D image increases.

Abstract: A 3D image display device including a position detector, a display panel, a barrier panel, and a barrier panel controller. The position detector detects a position of a viewer and generates a selection signal. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels and alternately displays a left-eye image and a right-eye image. The barrier panel includes a light transmitting portion and a light blocking portion. The barrier panel controller controls a width of each of the light transmitting portion and the light blocking portion. The barrier panel is operated in one of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode.
