When three-dimensional images are displayed on various display apparatuses, the images are displayed in a state that allows for stereoscopic vision even if the size of the display apparatus is large or even if the resolution of the display apparatus is low. The apparatus includes: a decision means for deciding based on the standard information contained in the control information whether the amount of parallax on the display screen when three-dimensional image data is displayed is greater than the amount of parallax on the optimal display apparatus for displaying the three-dimensional image data; and an image processing means for implementing an image process for changing the amount of parallax, and adjusts the amount of parallax of three-dimensional images in accordance with the ratio between the pitch between dots of the standard display apparatus for displaying three-dimensional images and the pitch between dots of an own terminal.

Stereoscopic image reproducing apparatus and stereoscopic image reproducing method

An image signal composed of sequential frames is input to a 3-dimensional image creating apparatus, frame by frame. A controller () designates the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. An image converter () creates image data in the format designated by the presence/absence of reduction and the presence/absence of joining. A 3D information creator () creates 3D information necessary for displaying the image as a 3-dimensional image by formatting the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. A multiplexer () converts image data and 3D information in a predetermined format and outputs them to the outside. In this way, it is possible to make the image data for 3-dimensional display versatile and select an arbitrary viewpoint image efficiently.

3-dimensional image creating apparatus, 3-dimensional image reproducing apparatus, 3-dimensional image processing apparatus, 3-dimensional image processing program and recording medium recorded with the program

Disclosed herein is a 3-D image display unit that can be controlled flexibly to protect the user from eyestrain and operated easily. The 3-D image display unit includes measuring means for measuring a display time of a 3-D image, parallax adjusting means for instructing 3-D image forming means to adjust the parallax of the 3-D image. In the case where the 3-D image display time measured by the measuring means exceeds a predetermined time, the parallax adjusting means instructs the 3-D image forming means to reduce the parallax of the 3-D image to be formed, thereby the display means comes to display a 3-D image having a small parallax. The user can thus be protected from eyestrain.

3-D image display unit, 3-D image recording device and 3-D image recording method

An image data recording apparatus includes a three-dimensional display control information generation unit receiving a parameter indicating a condition for picking up a three-dimensional image, and encoding the parameter so as to generate image pick-up condition information, and a file generation unit generating a multimedia information file including both of the image pick-up condition information and three-dimensional image data or at least one of the three-dimensional image data and two-dimensional image data.

Image data generation apparatus for adding attribute information regarding image pickup conditions to image data, image data reproduction apparatus for reproducing image data according to added attribute information, and image data recording medium related thereto

3-Dimensional image creation device, 3-dimensional image reproduction device, 3-dimensional image processing device, 3-dimensional image processing program, and recording medium containing the program

A mobile phone is electronics with 2D and 3D display function, having a first casing and a second casing linked to allow the phone to be foldable, and including a first display unit located inside with the phone folded, and selectively switching and displaying 2D and 3D images, and a second display unit located outside with the phone folded, and displaying a 2D image. When the mobile phone is opened or open the first display unit displays an idle screen in a 3D image as desired.

Electronics with two and three dimensional display functions

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.
