Abstract
A display device includes a display panel including pixels, a viewing area forming unit forming a main viewing zone and side viewing zones where viewpoint images displayed by the display panel are provided, and an eye tracking unit extracting binocular information of a viewer. The display device further includes a controller controlling viewing angles of the side viewing zones to be different from a viewing angle of the main viewing zone based on the binocular information.
Claims18
A display device comprising:
- a display panel including pixels;
- a viewing area controller configured to form a main viewing zone and side viewing zones where viewpoint images displayed by the display panel are provided;
- an eye tracker configured to extract binocular information of a viewer;
- and
- a controller configured to control viewing angles of the side viewing zones to be larger than a viewing angle of the main viewing zone based on the binocular information.
2 more elements
A method of driving a display device, the method comprising:
- extracting first binocular information and second binocular information of a viewer;
- generating first mapping data in which viewpoint images are mapped to pixels based on the first binocular information;
- generating second mapping data in which the viewpoint images are remapped to the pixels based on the first mapping data and the second binocular information;
- and
- displaying the viewpoint images based on the second mapping data,
- wherein the generating of the second mapping data includes controlling viewing angles of side viewing zones to be larger than a viewing angle of a main viewing zone.
3 more elements
A controller for a display device, comprising:
- a first mapper configured to generate first mapping data based on first binocular information output from an eye tracker;
- and
- a second mapper configured to generate second mapping data based on the first mapping data and second binocular information output from the eye tracker, the second mapping data to control display of viewpoint images on the display device, wherein:
- the first binocular information output indicates a binocular position of the eyes of a viewer and a viewing distance of the viewer,
- the second binocular information output indicates a rotation angle of the viewer, and
- the controller is configured such that in the second mapping data, viewing angles of side viewing zones are larger than a viewing angle of a main viewing zone.
