Abstract
An image display apparatus and an image display method where the image display apparatus according to an embodiment displays a main screen and a sub-screen having a different depth or slope from the main screen so as to create the illusion of depth and distance.
Claims20
An image display method of an image display apparatus, the image display method comprising:
- displaying a 3D object on a display;
- detecting, by the image display apparatus, a user's eye level relative to the image display apparatus;
- and
- changing a characteristic of the displayed 3D object based on the detected user's eye level so that the 3D object is tilted relative to a surface of a screen of the image display apparatus based on the detected user's eye level, the characteristic including a size, a shape and a slope of the displayed 3D object,
- wherein, when the user's eye level is detected to be low relative to the image display apparatus, the 3D object is tilted so that an angle between the user's line of sight and the display is decreased.
An image display apparatus, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect a user's eye level relative to the image display apparatus;
- a display having a screen and configured to display 2D or 3D images;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the detector and display, the controller configured to display a 3D object on the display;
- and
- change a characteristic of the displayed 3D object based on the detected user's eye level so that the 3D object is tilted or rotated relative to a surface of a screen of the image display apparatus based on the detected user's eye level, the characteristic including a size, a shape and a slope of the displayed 3D object,
- wherein, when the user's eye level is detected to be low relative to the image display apparatus, the 3D object is tilted so that an angle between the user's line of sight and the display is decreased.
The image display apparatus 11, wherein the 3D objet has a planar surface, and
- wherein the slope corresponds to a line on the planar surface.
The image display apparatus 11, wherein the characteristic further includes a location of the 3D object relative to a center point of the screen.
