Abstract: A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel, an optical panel, and a controller. The display panel displays a parallax image. The optical panel defines a traveling direction of image light. The controller controls the parallax image based on positions of a first eye and a second eye of a user. The controller causes a predetermined proportion of pixels to display a black image. The predetermined proportion is determined to cause, for the first and second eyes of the user at a predetermined reference position, a black image to be displayed by a pixel at one end or two ends of multiple first areas viewable to the first eye and not viewable to the second eye and by a pixel at one end or two ends of multiple second areas viewable to the second eye and not viewable to the first eye in a parallax direction.
