Abstract
In an image display device where a lenticular lens, a display panel, and a light source are provided in order from a viewer side, when cylindrical lenses of the lenticular lens are arrayed in a horizontal direction, in first-viewpoint pixels and second-viewpoint pixels of the display panel, openings whose sides which intersect with straight lines in the horizontal direction are not parallel to a vertical direction are formed. And, a shape of the openings of a pair of pixels mutually adjacent in the vertical direction is made line-symmetric with respect to edges of the pixels extending in the horizontal direction as an axis.
Claims57
An image display device comprising:
- a display panel which has a plurality of pixel sections each of which includes n (n is a natural number equal to or more than two) types of pixels to display images for n viewpoints, said pixel sections being arrayed in a matrix in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction;
- an optical unit for sorting lights emitted from pixels arrayed in said first direction into mutually different directions along said first direction;
- and
- a display area provided in each of said pixels, in which at least two middle points between both ends of said display area in said first direction has different distances from an optical axes of said optical unit, said middle points being apart from each other along said optical axes.
An image display device comprising:
- a display panel which has a plurality of pixel sections each of which includes n (n is a natural number equal to or more than two) types of pixels to display images for n viewpoints, said pixel sections being arrayed in a matrix in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction;
- an optical unit for sorting lights emitted from pixels arrayed in said first direction into mutually different directions along said first direction;
- and
- a display area provided in each of said pixels, in which provided an area where a position of an end of said display area in said first direction varies depending on a position in said second direction.
An image display device comprising:
- a liquid crystal display panel which has a plurality of pixel sections each of which includes n (n is a natural number equal to or more than two) types of pixels to display images for n viewpoints, said pixel sections being arrayed in a matrix in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, and which operates in a multi-domained vertical orientation mode;
- an optical unit for sorting lights emitted from pixels arrayed in said first direction into mutually different directions along said first direction;
- and
- a plurality of display areas provided in each of said pixels, where a position of middle points between both ends in said first direction varies depending on a position in said second direction.
A display panel comprising:
- a plurality of pixel sections arrayed in a matrix in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, each of which includes n (n is a natural number equal to or more than two) types of pixels to display images for n viewpoints;
- and
- a display area provided in each pixel, where a position of middle points between both ends in said first direction varies depending on a position in said second direction.
A display panel comprising:
- a plurality of pixel sections arrayed in a matrix in
- a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, each of which includes n (n is a natural number equal to or more than two) types of pixels to display images for n viewpoints;
- and
- a display area provided in each pixel, where a position of middle point between both ends in said first direction is invariable irrespective of a position in said
- second direction, and also a position of an end of said display area in said first direction varies depending on a position in said second direction.
A lenticular lens comprising:
- a plurality of cylindrical lenses whose directions in which optical axes extend vary depending on a direction orthogonal to an array direction.
