Image Display System, Shutter Glasses, And Display Apparatus

Shutter glasses comprising:

• shutter lenses;
• a shutter drive section that causes the shutter lenses to perform an opening/closing operation;
• a communication section that performs bi-directional communication with a display apparatus that switches images in a time division manner;
• and
• a storage section that stores therein at least glasses information,
• wherein the shutter glasses perform control, on the basis of an opening control signal received from the display apparatus by the communication section, so that the shutter drive section causes the shutter lenses to perform an opening/closing operation, and also read the glasses information from the storage section and send the glasses information to the display apparatus via the communication section.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display section that displays images;
• an image signal processing section that processes an image signal displayed on the display section;
• and
• a communication section that performs bi-directional communication with shutter glasses worn by a viewer viewing the images displayed on the display section,
• wherein the display apparatus sends, via the communication section, an opening control signal for allowing the shutter glasses to cause shutter lenses to perform an opening/closing operation in synchronization with switching of the images on the display section, and also controls the display section on the basis of glasses information received from the shutter glasses by the communication section.
