A method of displaying a three-dimensional ('3D') image, the method includes determining a shutter electrode of an unit part included in a shutter panel as a left-eye electrode and a right-eye electrode, the unit part including 'n' shutter electrodes (herein, n is a natural number), selectively driving the left-eye electrode and the right-eye electrode as an opening part based on an image displayed on a display panel to transmit light through the opening part, and providing light transmitted through the opening part with an observer's two eyes through a lens plate, the lens plate including a plurality of lenses.

Method of displaying three dimensional image and three dimensional display apparatus for performing the method

A method of driving an auto-stereoscopic display apparatus includes detecting a position of a user to determine a target visible distance, determining at least one original pixel unit having a first unit width based on the target visible distance, wherein the pixel unit includes a plurality of pixel sets in a row, each pixel set including N pixels, comparing the target visible distance to a predetermined reference visible distance of the auto-stereoscopic display apparatus, and converting the original pixel unit to a compensated pixel unit having a second unit width different from the first unit width to project viewpoint sets through the N pixels to a viewing zone at the target visible distance.

Auto-stereoscopic display apparatus and method of driving the same

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a light source part and a directional light projecting element. The display panel displays a first image during a first subframe and a different second image during a second subframe. The light source part provides light to the display panel. The directional light projecting element is disposed between the display panel and the light source part. The directional light projecting element includes a barrier part and a lens part disposed above the barrier part. The barrier part has a plurality of barriers defined as a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes crossing the first electrodes. The lens part has a plurality of lenses disposed in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction. Each of the lenses corresponds to a subset of plural lenses among the plurality of the barriers.

Display apparatus and method of displaying three dimensional images using the same

A display panel displays a first image during a first subframe and a second image during a second subframe. A display panel driver provides the first and second images to the display panel. A light source part provides light to the display panel. A light converting element is disposed between the display panel and the light source part and includes a barrier part and a lens part disposed on the barrier part. The barrier part has a plurality of independently controllable barrier groups. A position detecting part determines a position of a viewer. A barrier driver controls the barrier part to selectively transmit light from the light source part based on the viewer's position. A single barrier group includes a plurality of barriers, and a single barrier includes a plurality of sub-barriers.

Display apparatus and method of displaying three dimensional image using the same

A 3-dimensional image display device includes: a backlight unit; a barrier panel above the backlight unit and including unit barriers which selectively blocks light; a lenticular lens array above the barrier panel and including lenticular lenses, each having a principal point; a liquid crystal panel above the lenticular lens array; an eye tracking sensor which detects a position of eyes of a viewer and a distance between the principal point of the lenticular lenses and the eyes; and a controller which controls the backlight unit, the barrier panel and the liquid crystal panel based on an output of the eye tracking sensor, where the controller turns on and off the unit barriers such that light passes through the principal point of the lenticular lenses to apply a right-eye image to a right eye of the viewer and apply a left-eye image to a left eye of the viewer.

3-dimensional image display device and display method thereof

A display apparatus includes a display panel, a display panel driver, a light source part, a light directing element and a barrier driver. The display panel displays a 3D image by dividing a single 3D image frame into plural sub frames including one corresponding to a first stereoscopic view for display during a first sub frame and a second corresponding to a second stereoscopic view for display during a second sub frame. The light source part provides selectively blockable backlighting. The light directing element is disposed between the display panel and the light source part so as to implement selective blocking. The light directing element includes a barrier part and a lens part disposed on the barrier part. The barrier part has a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes crossing the first electrodes.

Display apparatus and method of displaying three dimensional images using plural barrier states

A display device includes a display panel configured to receive a first-frame image signal for displaying a first-frame image in a first frame. The display panel is further configured to receive a second-frame image signal for displaying a second-frame image in a second frame that immediately follows the first frame such that the display panel appears to display a transition region associated with a boundary between a portion of the first-frame image and a portion of the second-frame image and moving in a moving direction. The display device further includes an optical effect layer and electrode sets. The electrode sets respectively overlap different portions of the optical effect layer and are configured for sequentially starting affecting the different portions of the optical effect layer such that the optical effect layer appears to display a light-blocking section that moves in the moving direction and overlaps the transition region.
