A stereoscopic picture image forming system for forming a picture image of an object separated into a first sub-object for a left eye and a second sub-object for a right eye, the stereoscopic picture image forming system comprising:
- a display device for displaying the picture image of the object;
- a first linear polarization filter and a first quarter-wavelength plate disposed at a display surface of the display device;
- a common image-forming means;
- a first image pick-up means for picking up the displayed picture image for the left eye, the picture image being introduced by way of the common image-forming means;
- a second image pick-up means for picking up the displayed picture image for the right eye, the picture image being introduced by way of the common image-forming means;
- a liquid crystal sealing body associated with the first and second image pick-up means having separate shutters associated with each of said first and second image pick-up means;
- and
- a second linear polarization filter disposed at one of a front and a rear surface of each of said image pick-up means,
- a second ciuarter-wavelength plate disposed at the front surface of each of said image pick-up means, wherein
- the separate shutters have a function of shutting off an area covered by a viewing angle which corresponds to a display area of the display device.
