Stereoscopic image display device and method of driving the same, and electronic device including the stereoscopic image display device

A method of driving a stereoscopic image display device comprising a display panel configured to display an image and an optical member configured to refract an image display light emitted in a display area of the display panel and output the refracted image display light as a stereoscopic image display light, the optical member including lenticular lenses, birefringent lenses, or liquid-crystal lenses, the method comprising:

• capturing an image on a front side of the display panel through a plurality of image sensors arranged in the display area and overlapping the optical member;
• analyzing front-side image data generated through the image sensors to track a location of a user and/or a right eye position and a left eye position of the user;
• and
• controlling a plurality of pixels in the display area to display a right-eye image and a left-eye image,
• wherein controlling the pixels in the display area comprises adjusting viewing points of the right-eye image data and the left-eye image data based on a result of tracking the user's location and/or the user's right eye position and left eye position, and driving the pixels to display a stereoscopic image corresponding to the adjusted viewing points.

An electronic device including a stereoscopic image display device, wherein the stereoscopic image display device comprises:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• an optical member including lenticular lenses, birefringent lenses, or liquid-crystal lenses, configured to refract an image display light emitted in a display area of the display panel and output the refracted image display light as a stereoscopic image display light;
• a plurality of image sensors arranged in the display area, overlapping the optical member, and configured to capture front-side image data;
• and
• a main driver circuit configured to track a location of a user and/or a right eye position and a left eye position of the user, and control a plurality of pixels in the display area to display right-eye image data and left-eye image data,
• wherein the main driver circuit is further configured to adjust viewing points of the right-eye image data and the left-eye image data based on a result of tracking the user's location or the user's right eye position and left eye position, and drive the pixels to display a stereoscopic image corresponding to the adjusted viewing points.
