  • Patent number: 10855975
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display device having a barrier panel is provided. The barrier panel may include channel electrodes across an active area. Each of the channel electrodes may include an end portion connected to corresponding link line. Each of the channel electrodes may be connected to the link line same as (n+1)th channel electrode from the channel electrode. The barrier panel may further include connecting lines to connect between opposite end portions of the channel electrode which are connected to the same link line. Thus, in the stereoscopic display device, the number of the wires extending along an edge of the active area may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10838223
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display device having a barrier panel is provided. The barrier panel may include lower channels between a lower barrier substrate and a channel insulating layer. The lower channels may be disposed between upper channels which is disposed on the channel insulating layer. Each of the lower channels may include a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel and a lower insulating layer. The lower insulating layer of each lower channel may cover an end region of the first sub-channel of adjacent lower channel. The second sub-channel of each lower channel may be connected to another end region of the first sub-channel. The second sub-channel may be extended along a side wall of the lower insulating layer. Thus, in the stereoscopic display device of the present disclosure, a distance between the lower channels may be minimized.

  • Publication number: 20200233231
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display device including a barrier panel is provided. When a viewing distance of a viewer is out of the proper range, the stereoscopic display device may shift the blocking regions and the transmitting regions of the barrier panel. The stereoscopic display device may maintain the ratio of channels located within a barrier blocking region and a barrier transmitting region of the barrier panel by using the channels disposed within trigger regions of the barrier panel. Thus, the stereoscopic display device may provide a stereoscopic image of good quality to the viewer located at a region being out of the proper range.

  • Patent number: 10466648
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a holographic display which enables stereoscopic display of colors by changing a structure and mitigates a flickering effect by lowering the response speed. The holographic display may deliver an image to different positions for the left eye and right eye at the same time, thereby lowering the frequency necessary for supply of holographic image information. Thereby, the holographic display may address the issues of the afterimage effect and flickering effect in a liquid crystal panel-based spatial light modulator.

  • Publication number: 20190129194
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display device having a barrier panel is provided. The barrier panel may include lower channels, a channel insulating layer and upper channels, which are sequentially stacked on a barrier panel. The lower channels may be disposed between the upper channels. Each of the lower channels may include a first sub-channel, a second sub-channel and a lower insulating layer. The lower insulating layer may be spaced away from the first sub-channel. The second sub-channel may be connected to an end region of the first sub-channel facing the upper channels. The second sub-channel may be extended along a side wall of the lower insulating layer facing the first sub-channel. Thus, in the stereoscopic display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a distance between the lower channels may be minimized.
