  • Patent number: 8040617
    Abstract: A 3-dimensional image display device having wide viewing angles using Fresnel lenses is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the invention, the 3-dimensional image display device includes an image source providing part for providing an image source, a first Fresnel lens refracting and transmitting the image source that is incident from the image source providing part, and a second Fresnel lens for generating a 3-dimensional image by refracting and transmitting the image source transmitted from the first Fresnel lens. At least one of the first Fresnel lens and the second Fresnel lens is a curved type Fresnel lens surface. The present invention can maximize the display area for a 3-dimensional image and realize the 3-dimensional image having wide viewing angles without distortion on the left and right boundaries.

  • Patent number: 7719770
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional video display device using a single image source for background image and object image display, which uses a double Fresnel lens structure, multi-reflector, and half mirror part. In particular, the present invention relates to a 3-dimensional image device with which the problem in prior art of spatial size in obtaining a background image is resolved, and with which a background image of a large display and a 3-dimensional image having an enhanced sense of depth and a large image are displayed simultaneously using only a single image source.

  • Patent number: 7562983
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image display device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device uses a curved transmissive screen and reflectors to minimize the space associated with the device when increasing the size of the three-dimensional image. By placing a physically driven background screen over the projected image and screen, excessively diffused reflection of the Fresnel lenses is eliminated. High-resolution real-time video images are provided as three-dimensional images by realizing three-dimensional images with enhanced perspective as if they are floating in space. According to one embodiment of the invention, a distortion of the three-dimensional image is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20070002441
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image display device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device creates an effect of a three-dimensional image floating in the air by projecting a two-dimensional image to a free space in a form of a three-dimensional image. According to one embodiment of the invention, the device can be implemented with a minimal space in the structure of a conventional vending machine, comprising a minimal number of components and low-cost parts. It is possible to produce a large quantity of three-dimensional image display devices at a low cost.
