Abstract
Disclosed is a multi-view three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus using a modified common viewing zone. The multi-view 3D image display apparatus may use a modified common viewing zone between a central viewing zone (common viewing zone) of the multi-view 3D image display apparatus and a central viewing zone (parallel viewing zone) of a 3D image display apparatus employing an integral photography method, or form a common viewing zone at an optimum viewing distance (OVD) of the multi-view 3D image display apparatus and use a modified common viewing zone in an area beyond the OVD.
Claims20
A multi-view three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus, comprising:
- a display panel in which pixels are arranged;
- a parallax separation means or a line light source arranged so as to be spaced apart from the display panel;
- and
- a control unit configured to control formation of a modified common viewing zone in which viewing zones for each viewpoint pixel are arranged in a space, by viewpoint images created by the pixels of the display panel and the parallax separation means or the line light source,
- wherein, in the modified common viewing zone, a first horizontal position of a viewing zone for each first viewpoint pixel created by a first pixel set on the display panel providing the viewpoint image and a first position of the parallax separation means or the line light source corresponding to the first pixel set, and a second horizontal position of a viewing zone for each second viewpoint pixel created by a second pixel set adjacent to the first pixel set and a second position of the parallax separation means or the line light source corresponding to the second pixel set, are not the same.
A multi-view 3D image display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel in which pixels are arranged;
- a parallax separation means or a line light source arranged so as to be spaced apart from the display panel;
- and
- a control unit configured to control formation of a modified common viewing zone in which viewing zones for each viewpoint pixel are arranged in a space, by viewpoint images created by the pixels of the display panel and the parallax separation means or the line light source,
- wherein the modified common viewing zone has a range up to a position at which a size of each unit viewing zone in a depth direction is equal to an average binocular distance of a viewer from an optimum viewing distance (OVD).
