Abstract
A stereoscopic image displaying apparatus is disclosed. The pixels of the displaying apparatus consist of a plurality of pairs of odd columns pixels and even column pixels, and optical polarizing means for passing only one of vertical and horizontal components of light rays installed in front of the odd column pixels and the even column pixels, wherein if a user wears polarizing glass, then the user can see a clear stereoscopic image regardless of the position of the user.
Claims26
In a stereoscopic image displaying apparatus in which an object is photographed from left and right and the photographed image signals are sent to first and second image signal driving integrated circuits for driving a panel array consisting of pairs of odd column pixels and even column pixels for horizontal scanning, said first integrated circuit generating the left photographed image and said second integrated circuit generating the right photographed image separately, said apparatus further comprising:
- optical polarizing means installed in front of said array of said odd column pixels and said even column pixels, for respectively passing only components of a perpendicular direction among the light rays respectively.
A stereoscopic image displaying apparatus, comprising:
- a panel display comprising first and second columns of pixels with the pixels of the first and second columns in respective row-arranged pairs;
- image means including first and second integrated circuit driving means for horizontal scanning for causing the first and second columns of pixels to luminesce in respective correspondence with image signals from left and right spaced cameras, whereby to produce images respectively corresponding to the image signals;
- and
- first and second polarizing means respectively receiving the luminescence of the first and second columns of pixels for respectively transmitting the same with first and second different polarizations,
- whereby a person wearing left-eye and right-eye polarizing lenses having polarizations corresponding to the first and second polarizations of the transmitted luminescence of the polarizing means can only see the images of the first and second pixel columns that correspond to the image signals of the left and right spaced cameras with the left and right eyes, respectively, for a stereoscopic effect.
In a stereoscopic image displaying apparatus in which an object is photographed from left and right and the photographed image signals are sent to image signal driving IC for driving a pixel array consisting of pairs of odd column pixels and even column pixels by said IC to display the left and right photographed image separately, said apparatus further comprising:
- optical polarizing means comprising a transparent substrate, and a plurality of conductive lines disposed on said substrate in the lateral and longitudinal directions with predetermined gaps installed in front of said array of said odd column pixels and said even column pixels, for respectively passing only components of a perpendicular direction among the light rays respectively.
A stereoscopic image displaying apparatus, comprising:
- first and second columns of pixels with the pixels of the first and second columns in respective row arranged pairs;
- image means for causing the first and second columns of pixels to luminesce in respective correspondence with image signals from left and right spaced cameras, whereby to produce images respectively corresponding to the image signals;
- and
- first and second polarizing means respectively receiving the luminescence of the first and second columns of pixels for respectively transmitting the same with first and second different polarizations, wherein the first polarizing means comprises a transparent substrate over the first column of pixels and a plurality of spaced parallel conductive lines on the substrate,
- whereby a person wearing left-eye and right-eye polarizing lenses having polarizations of the transmitted luminescence of the polarizing means can only see the images of the first and second pixel columns that correspond to the image signals of the left and right spaced cameras with the left and right eyes, respectively, for a stereoscopic effect.
