An expanded three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image display system is provided. The expanded 3D stereoscopic image display system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides a display platform that presents integrated services by fusing homogeneous and heterogeneous display devices in a single space, and an operation technique of the display platform.

Expanded 3D stereoscopic display system

Disclosed is an apparatus for displaying stereoscopic images. The apparatus for displaying stereoscopic images includes a stereoscopic image-generating part, a main display part, a sub-display part, and a translucent reflective structure part. The stereoscopic image-generating part splits a single image to generate a first stereoscopic image to be directly viewed by a user and a second stereoscopic image to be reflected and viewed by the user. The main display part directly displays the first stereoscopic image to a gaze of a user. The sub-display part displays the second stereoscopic image. The translucent reflective structure part reflects the second stereoscopic image displayed on the sub-display part.
