  • Publication number: 20130050447
    Abstract: A parallax detector detects a parallax between a left-eye image and a right-eye image of an input stereoscopic image signal. A vector detector detects an inter-frame motion vector in the stereoscopic image signal. An output controller determines whether or not to generate an interpolated frame based on the detected parallax and motion vector, and outputs a control signal indicating a result of the determination. An output image generator generates an interpolated frame having an interpolation phase using the motion vector when the control signal indicates that an interpolated frame is to be generated.

  • Publication number: 20110285830
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a stereoscopic image display apparatus capable of wirelessly transmitting and receiving power. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a stereoscopic image display unit and shutter glasses. The stereoscopic image display unit divides stereoscopic images into images for the left eye and images for the right eye and displays the resulting stereoscopic images, generates a signal of opening/closing a right eye shutter and a left eye shutter, and generates a power signal and then wirelessly transmits power in a magnetic resonance coupling manner. The shutter glasses wirelessly receives the power signal from the stereoscopic image display unit in the magnetic resonance coupling manner, and provides the images for the left eye and the images for the right eye by alternatively opening and closing the left eye shutter and the right eye shutter in response to the signal of opening/closing the right eye shutter and the left eye shutter.

  • Publication number: 20110122237
    Abstract: A 3D video viewing shutter device receives display response time from a 3D video display device for determining shutter open and close times. Response time may correspond to display type, a particular display and/or a change in pixel illumination levels between frames. The shutter device receives response information during device initialization and/or corresponding to changing pixel illumination levels. A sequence of 3D frames may comprise a pattern of left frames, right frames, blank frames and/or frames comprising a combination of left and right frames. Based on display device and/or shutter device response times, the shutter device may extend shutter transmittance time during a frame display interval into a blank frame interval. Transmittance may be enabled during display of blank frames subsequent to left or right frames. The shutter device and display device may communicate via a wireless link for example, via a Bluetooth wireless link utilizing Bluetooth clocks.

  • Publication number: 20110058024
    Abstract: In a display apparatus, a display panel displays an image, and a frame rate converter separates an image signal to a first image frame for a left-eye and a second image frame for a right-eye and generates first and second intermediate image frames respectively following the first and second image frames. A timing controller converts the first and second image frames to first and second compensation frames, respectively, and sequentially provides the first compensation frame, the first intermediate image frame, the second compensation frame, and the second intermediate image frame to a data driver. The data driver converts the first and second compensation frames to a left-eye data voltage and a right-eye data voltage, respectively, and converts the first and second intermediate image frames to a predetermined black data voltage.
