Stereoscopic image display device, image processing device, and image processing method

An image processing device comprising:

• a determiner configured to determine the number of parallaxes in such a way that, larger a viewing distance between a viewer and a display that is capable of displaying a stereoscopic image which includes a plurality of parallax images having mutually different parallaxes, smaller becomes the interval between light beams which belong to each of the parallax images and which are emitted from the display;
• a generator configured to generate the parallax images in number corresponding to the number of parallaxes;
• and
• a display controller configured to display the parallax images on the display.
