Wearable electronic device and method of outputting three-dimensional image

A wearable electronic device comprising:

• a left-eye display configured to output light of a first color corresponding to a three-dimensional (3D) left-eye image;
• a right-eye display configured to output light of a second color corresponding to a 3D right-eye image;
• a left-eye optical waveguide configured to adjust a path of the light of the first color and output the light of the first color;
• a right-eye optical waveguide configured to adjust a path of the light of the second color and output the light of the second color;
• a left-eye display control circuit configured to supply a driving power and a control signal to the left-eye display;
• a right-eye display control circuit configured to supply a driving power and a control signal to the right-eye display;
• a communication module configured to communicate with a mobile electronic device;
• and
• a second control circuit configured to supply a driving power and a control signal to the communication module,
• wherein the second control circuit is configured to extract depth information from a two-dimensional (2D) left-eye image and a 2D right-eye image, generate a converted left-eye image and a converted right-eye image by converting the 2D left-eye image and the 2D right-eye image based on the depth information, generate an aligned left-eye image and an aligned right-eye image by performing vertical alignment on the converted left-eye image and the converted right-eye image, and generate a 3D left-eye image and a 3D right-eye image by performing color anaglyph with the first color on the aligned left-eye image and performing color anaglyph with the second color on the aligned right-eye image, and
• wherein the communication module is configured to transmit the 3D left-eye image and the 3D right-eye image to the mobile electronic device.
