Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying a multiview autostereoscopic image are provided. The apparatus, for displaying an autostereoscopic image, includes: a light source unit; and a display panel which displays an image by modulating light from the light source unit and having a plurality of pixel groups, wherein each of the pixel groups comprises a plurality of whole pixels and at least one fraction pixel, and in each of the whole pixels and the fraction pixel, image information of a viewpoint different from each other is displayed.
Claims8
An apparatus for displaying an autostereoscopic image comprising:
- a light source unit which includes a plurality of point light sources;
- and
- a display panel which displays an image by modulating light from the light source unit and has a plurality of pixel groups, each of the pixel groups including a plurality of whole pixels and at least one fraction pixel, and
- wherein each of the plurality of point light sources corresponds to a respective pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups, and
- wherein each of the plurality of whole pixels and at least one fraction pixel of each of the pixel groups is configured to modulate light from at least one of the plurality of light sources according to image information of a viewpoint different from each other.
A method of displaying a multiview autostereoscopic image comprising:
- directing a light emitted by each of a plurality of point light sources to a plurality of viewing zones;
- and
- modulating the light and displaying an image of a plurality of viewpoints by using a display panel,
- wherein the display panel has a plurality of pixel groups which are arranged in a line which is parallel to the plurality of point light sources, and each pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups includes a plurality of whole pixels and at least one fraction pixel, and
- wherein each of the plurality of point light sources corresponds to a respective pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups, and
- wherein each of the plurality of whole pixels and at least one fraction pixel of each of the pixel groups is configured to modulate light from at least one of the plurality of light sources according to image information of a viewpoint different from each other.
