  • Patent number: 11405604
    Abstract: A 3D display device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. Metal nanowires perpendicular to each other are provided at the TFT glass substrate side and the CF glass substrate side. The metal nanowires can realize inherent function of polarizers at the TFT glass substrate side and the CF glass substrate side, and can also make the emitted light into stripe-shaped polarized light perpendicular to each other. Therefore, the polarizers, the ?/2 phase retarder with stripes, and the polarizers with stripes and perpendicular polarization that are originally at the TFT glass substrate side and the CF glass substrate side in a 3D polarizer display are excluded. The thickness of the 3D display device is made thinner. Moreover, according to the structural design, polarization effect is not limited by wavelength range of the light. Therefore, 3D stereoscopic display effect is greatly enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8552925
    Abstract: When displaying one of a three-dimensional image and a two-dimensional image on a background and displaying the other image in a window, a flag bit indicating whether the first and second electrodes overlap the window is set. Waveforms differing according to the flag bit are applied to the first and second electrodes as pulses applied to the opposed first and second electrodes of a variable polarization cell. As a result, three-dimensional image display is partially conducted in the window and two-dimensional image display is conducted in areas other than the window. Or two-dimensional image display is partially conducted in the window and three-dimensional image display is conducted in areas other than the window.

  • Publication number: 20130044192
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to techniques for extracting a 2D video from a 3D video. A 3D video uploaded by a source is analyzed to identify its 3D format type, for example, a side-by-side, a top and bottom, or frame alternate format. Upon the identification of the 3D format type, 2D video information is extracted from the frames of the 3D video to generate a 2D video. Both the 3D video and 2D video are stored in a database. When a device requests the video, it is determined if the device is associated with a 3D or 2D display device type, and based on that determination either the 2D or the 3D video is provided to the device.

  • Publication number: 20090046143
    Abstract: A drive method and apparatus is provided for a 2D/3D autostereoscopic display with a switchable lens array having an electrically switchable refractive index, between an array of row electrode lines and an array of column electrode lines to control the switching of the lens elements. The drive signals comprise: a row select voltage waveform (Rsw), —a column select voltage waveform (Csw), —and a common row and column de-select voltage waveform (Vbase). The waveforms each comprise a substantially square wave voltage waveform, each waveform having the same period. The three waveforms are time staggered with respect to each other with a phase shift of 2/3 or 4/3 between each waveform and each other waveform. This arrangement provides polarity inversion voltage waveforms when switching voltages are applied to the lens elements, and with maximised RMS voltage.
