Abstract: A display device includes control electronics and a pixellated liquid crystal (LC) panel. The control electronics receives inputs of main image data for a main image and side image data for a side image. The control electronics outputs combined image data combining the main and side images such that an on-axis viewer perceives from the combined image the main image, and an off-axis viewer perceives from the combined image the side image. The output image data comprises data values chosen from a set of available output data values for the pixels selected from multiple sets of available data values depending on at least on the side image data. For a pixel currently being processed, the output data value is chosen from the selected set of available output data values for which a resulting luminance value is closest to a target luminance value for the current pixel.

Abstract: A method of processing image data for display by a display panel of a display device. The method comprises receiving main image pixel data representing a main image and side image pixel data representing a side image, and performing a mapping of the pixel data to signals used to drive the display panel. The mapping is arranged to produce an average on-axis luminance which is dependent mainly on the main image pixel data and an average off-axis luminance which is dependent at least to some extent on the side image pixel data. A compression of the main image pixel data is performed in advance of or at least partly incorporated into the mapping, the compression being performed at least partly in dependence upon the main image pixel data and at least partly in dependence upon how the off-axis luminance varies with pixel data input to the mapping.

In the image display apparatus, the arrangement of a sub-pixel for displaying red for a left eye and a sub-pixel for displaying green for a right eye has been replaced with the arrangement of a sub-pixel (Lg1) for displaying green for the left eye and a sub-pixel (Rr1) for displaying red for the right eye. The arrangement of a sub-pixel for displaying blue for the left eye and a sub-pixel for displaying yellow for the right eye has been replaced with the arrangement of a sub-pixel (Lx1) for displaying yellow for the left eye and a sub-pixel (Rb1) for displaying blue for the right eye. Replacement with the sub-pixel and the sub-pixel and replacement with the sub-pixel and the sub-pixel are made for every other pixel.

The signals used to drive the display panel are determined from the output pixel data (S5).
