Abstract
A three-dimensional-image display apparatus includes a projecting unit having a projection plane and a plurality of projecting elements for projecting images having parallax therebetween through the projection plane; a display for displaying a three-dimensional image by receiving the images projected from the plurality of projecting elements; and a common lens for guiding rays of the images to the display, the common lens being arranged between the projection plane and the display and having a focal length larger than a distance between the projection plane and the display.
Claims6
A three-dimensional-image display apparatus comprising:
- a projecting unit having a projection plane and a plurality of projecting elements for projecting images having parallax therebetween through the projection plane;
- a display for displaying a three-dimensional image by receiving the images projected from the plurality of projecting elements;
- and
- a common lens for guiding rays of the images to the display, the common lens being arranged between the projection plane and the display and having a focal length larger than a distance between the projection plane and the display.
A method for displaying a three-dimensional image, the method comprising the steps of:
- projecting a plurality of images having parallax therebetween through a projection plane;
- guiding rays of the images projected through the projection plane to a display using a common lens arranged between the projection plane and the display, the common lens having a focal length larger than a distance between the projection plane and the display;
- and
- displaying the three-dimensional image on the display by receiving the rays emitted from the common lens.
A three-dimensional-image display apparatus comprising:
- first projecting means having a projection plane and a plurality of second projecting means for projecting images having parallax therebetween through the projection plane;
- display means for displaying a three-dimensional image by receiving the images projected from the plurality of second projecting means;
- and
- a common lens for guiding rays of the images to the display means, the common lens being arranged between the projection plane and the display means and having a focal length larger than a distance between the projection plane and the display means.
