Abstract: A method is provided for encoding at least one integral image representative of at least one object in perspective in a scene. The method implements the following steps: applying a discrete wavelet transform directly to the pixels of the integral image, delivering a plurality of transform coefficients; and encoding the delivered transform coefficients.

Abstract: Provided are a 3-dimensional image display apparatus and a control method thereof, the apparatus including: a video signal receiving unit which receives a video signal containing plane image data or stereoscopic image data from an external signal source; a liquid crystal module which includes a liquid crystal display panel to selectively display the plane image data and the stereoscopic image data, and a backlight unit provided in a rear portion of the liquid crystal display panel; a power supply which supplies power to the liquid crystal module; and a controller which determines whether the received video signal contains the plane image data or the stereoscopic image data, and if the video signal receiving unit contains the stereoscopic image data, the controller controls the power supply such that the backlight unit operates in a power saving mode while the stereoscopic image data is scanned to the liquid crystal display panel.

Abstract: A 3D image display device with a 2D or 3D image mode switching barrier is provided. The image display device includes an image panel, color change regions spaced apart from each other in a repetitive pattern and selectively change into light transmission regions or light blockage regions, and a barrier having the color change regions.

Abstract: An autostereoscopic display apparatus (104, 200, 301, 401, 501) is disclosed, comprising lenticular means (203, 305, 402, 502) configured to direct and control light emitted from a source (201, 302). The lenticular means comprises an array of lenticular elements (204, 306, 403, 503), said array of lenticular elements comprising a first surface facing light incident from said source and a second surface facing light emergent from said second surface. The apparatus further comprises a light-absorbing repetitive pattern (507, 517) restricting light passing through said lenticular elements to only a desired portion of said lenticular elements, said light-absorbing repetitive pattern being applied on said second surface of said lenticular means. Use of the autostereoscopic display apparatus in a 3D display and/or multi-view static or dynamic display is also disclosed.
