A display apparatus providing a virtual image to user is provided. The display apparatus may include a hologram optical element on a path of light emitted from a display panel. The display panel may emit light having different peak wavelength ranges. The reflection angle or the refraction angle recorded in the hologram optical element is different according to the peak wavelength range. Thus, the display apparatus may provide a plurality of virtual images having different focal lengths to the user without physical movement or mechanical operation of the display panel.

Display apparatus realizing a virtual image

A light field display device including: a display panel including a plurality of subpixels each emitting a light field; and a lenticular lens array on the display panel and including a plurality of lenticular lenses, wherein the plurality of lenticular lenses correspond to a plurality of subpixel groups each including the plurality of subpixels, and wherein a width of each of the plurality of subpixel groups is greater than a width of each of the plurality of lenticular lenses.

Light field display device having improved viewing angle

A three dimensional (3D) display apparatus can include lenticular lenses between a display panel and a viewing angle control film. The display panel can have a curvature. The viewing angle control film can include a plurality of light-blocking patterns between a first control substrate and a second control substrate. A pitch and a height of the plurality of light-blocking patterns can be determined by a curvature radius of the lenticular lenses, a distance between the viewing angle control film and a set viewing region, and a length of the display panel corresponding to the set viewing region. Thus, in the 3D display apparatus, the quality of 3D images provided to a user can be improved.

3D display apparatus having lenticular lenses

A 3D display apparatus in which lenticular lenses are disposed on a display panel is provided. The display panel can include pixel regions arranged in a pen-tile shape. For example, the display panel can include a first column of pixel regions in which a first pixel region displaying a first color and a second pixel region displaying a second color are alternatively disposed in a first direction, and a second column of pixel regions in which a third pixel region displaying a third color is disposed, and the first column and the second column can be alternatively disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the lenticular lenses can extend in an inclined direction. Thus, in the 3D display apparatus, the rate of color reproduction can be improved in a pen-tile shape.

A 3D display apparatus including lenticular lenses is provided. The lenticular lenses may be disposed between a display panel and a viewing angle control film. A direction in which the lenticular lenses extend may be inclined with a direction in which pixel regions of the display panel are arranged. The display panel may include light-blocking patterns overlapping with a boundary of the lenticular lenses. Thus, in the 3D display apparatus, the quality of the image provided to the user may be improved.

A display device including a display panel and an eyepiece is provided. An image realized by the display panel can be provided to a user by passing through the eyepiece. The display device can further include a front quarter-wave plate and a rear quarter-wave plate in order to increase the path of light traveling toward the eyepiece from the display panel. A barrier can be disposed between the front quarter-wave plate and the rear quarter-wave plate. The barrier can reflect or transmit the light traveling toward the eyepiece from the display panel on a region-by-region, so that the loss of light recognized by the user through the eyepiece can be minimized.

Display device having an eyepiece

A transparent display apparatus is provided. The transparent display apparatus may include a display panel realizing an image. The image realized by the display panel may display on an image formed by light passing through the display panel. In the transparent display apparatus, the moving path of light emitted from the display panel may longer than the moving path of light passing through the display panel, so that the quality and the viewing angle of the image realized by the display panel may be improved.

Transparent display apparatus

Disclosed herein is a holographic display which enables stereoscopic display of colors by changing a structure and mitigates a flickering effect by lowering the response speed. The holographic display may deliver an image to different positions for the left eye and right eye at the same time, thereby lowering the frequency necessary for supply of holographic image information. Thereby, the holographic display may address the issues of the afterimage effect and flickering effect in a liquid crystal panel-based spatial light modulator.

Holographic display

Disclosed are a holographic image display device and a method for driving the same which may stabilize luminance of a holographic image and reduce flicker. The holographic image display device includes a laser backlight unit, a surface light converter converting laser light emitted from the laser backlight unit into surface light-type laser light and emitting the surface light-type laser light, a spatial light modulator (SLM) implementing an input holographic interference pattern and projecting a holographic image at a viewing point using the surface light-type laser light, and an optical switching unit located between the laser backlight unit and the SLM and controlling polarization of the laser light. The optical switching unit blocks laser light emitted to the SLM in a blocking mode, and transmits the laser light emitted to the SLM in a transmission mode.
