Abstract
In an electronic equipment provided with 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D (three-dimensional) displaying functions, an easily viewable 2D image screen and an enjoyable 3D image screen are switched and displayed with a simple key operation. A first display portion of the electronic equipment does not generate optical parallax during the display of 2D image, enabling display of an easily viewable 2D image screen. The electronic equipment shares the data, permitting switching of the 2D image display to 3D image display.
Claims19
An electronic equipment, comprising:
- a display portion including a plurality of display elements and for switching and displaying a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image by selecting formation of a parallax optic;
- and
- a control portion for controlling a display on said display portion,
- said control portion instructing switching of the display between said two-dimensional image and said third-dimensional image involving said parallax optic, and generating a data for two-dimensional display and a data for three-dimensional display from a common data based on said instructing,
- wherein said display portion displays said two-dimensional image based on data for the display of a predetermined amount,
- data corresponding to said display elements include a first data for causing said parallax to exceed a predetermined parallax and second data for causing said parallax not to exceed said predetermined parallax, and
- said control portion generates a duplicate data by duplicating said first data on a predetermined basis, and generates said data for the display of said predetermined amount by combining said first data, said duplicate data and said second data.
4 more elements
An electronic equipment, comprising:
- a memory f or storing a common data used commonly for display of a two-dimensional image and display of a three-dimensional image;
- a display portion including a plurality of display elements and for displaying one of said two-dimensional image and said three-dimensional image by selectively forming a state where an optical parallax is generated;
- a display control portion for controlling an operation of said display portion based on an input signal;
- and
- a control portion for controlling said memory and an operation of said display control portion,
- said control portion detecting an instruction to display one of said two-dimensional image and said three-dimensional image, generating a data for the display of said two-dimensional image and a data for the display of said three-dimensional image based on said common data read from said memory in accordance with said instruction, and outputting a command for enabling the display of one of said two-dimensional and three-dimensional images and said generated data for the display, to said display control portion,
- wherein said display portion displays said two-dimensional image based on data for the display of a predetermined amount,
- data corresponding to said display elements include a first data for causing said parallax to exceed a predetermined parallax and second data for causing said parallax not to exceed said predetermined parallax, and
- said control portion generates a duplicate data by duplicating said first data on a predetermined basis, and generates said data for the display of said predetermined amount by combining said first data, said duplicate data and said second data.
