  • Patent number: 7518793
    Abstract: The present invention enables liquid crystal display devices, note-book personal computers, or the like to display stereoscopic images by installing an image splitting means and comprises a display panel displaying images taken from a plurality of viewpoints, image splitting means installed to the display panel removably and including an image splitting panel which splits image light from the display panel into stereo pairs of images. The image splitting means comprises an installing means for installing the image splitting means to the display panel removably and an adjusting means for positioning spatially the image splitting means and the display panel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5739844
    Abstract: A two-dimensional image which is constitute by a plurality of frame images which are continuous in time is taken as an image for one eye, while a two-dimensional image obtained by shifting the frame image by N frames (N includes zero and is not fixed), thereby to produce a three-dimensional image. For example, the two-dimensional image is not changed, that is, the frame difference (N) is adjusted to "0" with respect to a portion of the two-dimensional image whose content is not easily converted into a three-dimensional image, while the frame difference (N) is adjusted to (N) larger than (N) for a normal three-dimensional image with respect to a portion of the two-dimensional image whose content is very easily converted into a three-dimensional image, thereby to give further three-dimensional feeling to a viewer as well as reduce the fatigue of the eyes of the viewer.
