    Abstract: Disclosed are an image display method and a 3d display system. The method is adapted to the 3d display system including a 3d display device and includes the following steps. A first image and a second image are obtained by splitting an input image according to a 3d image format. Whether the input image is a 3D format image complying with the 3D image format is determined through a stereo matching processing performed on the first image and the second image. An image interweaving process is enabled to be performed on the input image to generate an interweaving image in response to determining that the input image is the 3D format image complying with the 3D image format, and the interweaving image is displayed via the 3D display device.

  • Patent number: 9939715
    Abstract: A projection device is disposable into a display platform of a display rack having a plurality of display platforms, for directly projecting an image frame onto a projection screen of the display platform. The image frame projected to the projection screen is not reflected by any reflective mirror arranged between the projection device and the projection screen. A length of the image frame in a first direction is equal to at least ten times a length of the image frame in a second direction. Since no reflective mirror is arranged between the projection device and the projection screen, the projection device is more easily applicable to display racks.
