Abstract
A display device includes: a display panel displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image in a first mode and displaying a two-dimensional (2D) image in a second mode; a switchable lens layer disposed on the display panel and including a resin; a resin supply part connected to the switchable lens layer and supplying the resin to the switchable lens layer; and a magnetic field generator applying a magnetic field to the resin supply part when in the second mode, wherein the resin moves from the resin supply part to the switchable lens layer when in the first mode and is stored in the resin supply part when in the second mode.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display panel displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image in a first mode and displaying a two-dimensional (2D) image in a second mode;
- a switchable lens layer disposed on the display panel and including a resin;
- a resin supply part connected to the switchable lens layer and supplying the resin to the switchable lens layer;
- and
- a magnetic field generator applying a magnetic field to the resin supply part when in the second mode,
- wherein the resin moves from the resin supply part to the switchable lens layer when in the first mode and is stored in the resin supply part when in the second mode.
The display device of claim
- wherein a first surface of the switchable lens layer has a plurality of lenses in the first mode, and has a flat shape in the second mode.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel displaying a 3D image in a first mode and displaying a 2D image in a second mode;
- a switchable lens layer disposed on the display panel and including a resin;
- a plurality of fixing pins disposed on the switchable lens layer;
- and
- a resin supply part connected to the switchable lens layer and supplying the resin to the switchable lens layer,
- wherein the switchable lens layer has a plurality of lenses in the first mode because the resin moves from the resin supply part to the switchable lens layer in the first mode, and the switchable lens layer has a flat shape in the second mode because the resin is stored in the resin supply part in the second mode, and
- each of the plurality of fixing pins is disposed between lenses neighboring to each other among the plurality of lenses.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel displaying a 3D image in a first mode and displaying a 2D image in a second mode;
- a switchable lens layer disposed on the display panel and including a resin;
- a cover window disposed on the switchable lens layer and including a plurality of grooves facing the switchable lens layer;
- and
- a resin supply part connected to the switchable lens layer and supplying the resin to the switchable lens layer,
- wherein the switchable lens layer has a plurality of curves because the resin move from the resin supply part to the switchable lens layer in the first mode, and has a flat shape because the resin is stored in the resin supply part in the second mode, and
- wherein the cover window is disposed on the switchable lens layer and has a shape complementary to a shape of the plurality of curves.
