Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device which does not require glasses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to display a stereoscopic image without using spectacles, the display light beam corresponding to each direction image among the multidirectional images forming the stereoscopic image is converged at the position of the observer's eyes by some optical action. By making each convergence point laterally the distance between the left and right eyes of the observer (pupil distance),
When both eyes are placed at the observation position, it is necessary to autonomously separate and project the left and right images to the left and right eyes so that they can be viewed as a stereoscopic image. In order to obtain such an optical effect, for example, a parallax between the image display device and the observer.
I used to arrange barriers and lenticular boards.

However, since each directional image obtained by using a parallax barrier or a lenticular plate is displayed at the (1 / number of directions) portion of the display surface of the image display device, the resolution is lowered. At the same time, in the case of a parallax barrier, there is a decrease in brightness, and in the case of a lenticular plate, there is a limit of separation due to blurring due to lens aberration.

In order to solve such a problem, FIG. 32 is a principle view of a conventional stereoscopic image display device shown in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-205446 viewed from above. As a display device, a transmissive image display plate such as a back-illuminated liquid crystal display plate (LCD) is used, and a plurality of linear light sources are arranged on the side opposite to the viewer across the LCD. In the figure, 1 is a transmissive image display plate, 45 is a plurality of linear light sources, and the transmissive image display plate 1
It is composed of linear light sources LL1 and LL2 that illuminate the eye and selectively illuminate the left eye EYE1 and the right eye EYE2 of the observer. FIG. 33 shows the time change of the image display area. FIG. 33 (a) shows an image R of left-eye and right-eye images,
L and video R, video input in which L and L are switched on a field-by-field basis, (b) and (c) show temporal changes in the video display area on the screen due to the video input in (a), and (b) is video When the display device is a CRT, (c) shows that the video display device is L
This is the case of a CD.

In such a conventional stereoscopic image display device,
When the image R-1 for the right eye is displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1, the right eye EYE of the linear light source 45 indicated by ●.
Only the light source LL2 for 2 is turned on, and the light source LL1 for the left eye EYE1 shown by ◯ is turned off. At the next time point, the image L-1 for the left eye is displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1, the light source LL1 for the left eye EYE1 indicated by ◯ among the linear light sources 45 is lit, and the right eye EYE2 indicated by ●. The light source LL2 is turned off.

As described above, the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1 and the linear light source 4 are provided.
By switching the light source for the left eye and the light source for the right eye of 5 in a time division manner, the direction images are separately projected to the left and right eyes and can be viewed as a stereoscopic image. In addition, FIG.
The conventional example in which the number of directions emitted by the linear light source is 2 has been described above. However, when the number of directions is 3 or more, the linear light sources 44 are set to LL1 and LL corresponding to each pixel of the transmissive image display plate 1.
By arranging a plurality of 2, LL3, ..., When a directional image at a certain time point is displayed on the transmissive image display panel 1, only one corresponding linear light source is turned on.
Since even three or more directional images are separately projected, the wraparound of the stereoscopic image can be expressed by moving the observation position.

[0007]

In the conventional stereoscopic image display device described with reference to FIG. 32, the linear light source for irradiating the transmissive image display plate has a finer structure than the pixels of the LCD used in the transmissive image display plate. There was a problem that it was necessary to

Further, in the irradiation with the linear light source, since the number of directional images to be projected can be increased only to the left and right, there is a problem that the change of the stereoscopic image when the observer moves up and down or back and forth cannot be expressed. It was

Further, when the number of directional images to be projected is two, there is only one observing position, so that there is a problem that a stereoscopic image cannot be displayed when the observer moves the position.

Further, when the number of directional images forming a three-dimensional image is increased, there is a problem that it is necessary to increase the time-division switching frequency until flicker cannot be recognized.

In addition, since the directional image is projected only on one eye of the observer while moving to an observation position where a stereoscopic image can be observed, there is a problem that the images of the left and right eyes become completely different and unpleasant. It was

Further, in the projection of three or more directional images, there is a problem that even if a plurality of observers can observe a stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image is different for each observer.

Further, even when a normal two-dimensional image is displayed by repeating the same image and simultaneously irradiating a linear light source without forming a different directional image for the image displayed on the transmissive image display plate for each field, the observation position is stereoscopic. Like the display, there was a problem that there was only one place.

Further, since the shape of the linear light source is determined by the transmissive image display plate and the observation position, there is a problem that there is no degree of freedom in design.

Further, the image by time-divided image input for each field as shown in FIG. 33 (a), when displayed on the CRT as shown in FIG. 33 (b), is at the scanning point only at the moment when the display surface is scanned. The image R-1 and the image L-1 are separated temporally at any moment, because they only illuminate.
When the image is displayed on the LCD as a transmissive image display plate as shown in (c), the pixels on the display surface continue to be displayed until the next pixel is scanned, so that the image R-1 and the image L are displayed in all the shaded areas. There was a problem that they were not separated in time because the display of -1 continued.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is a light source having a simple structure and a directional image displayed by a transmission type image display plate in a time division manner.

The light emitted from the points 3a to 2b and the points 3b to 2a is imaged on the point c by the convex lens plate 2, and the light emitted from the points 3a to 2a and the points 3b to 2b is imaged on the point d by the convex lens plate 2. On the contrary, when the convex lens plate 2 is viewed from the point a, the point 3a is enlarged on the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 and the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light. Similarly, when the convex lens plate 2 is viewed from the position on the line L from the point a to the point b, the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light by the light emitted from the points 3a to 3b. When the convex lens plate 2 is viewed from the points c and d, the region 3L is enlarged over the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 and the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light. That is, when the region 3L of the divided light source 3 is emitting light, the observation position where the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to be emitting light is within the range of diagonal lines including the line L surrounded by the solid lines of points a, b, c, and d. Outside this range, the light emitted from the region 3L of the divided light source 3 cannot be seen, and the convex lens plate 2 is dark. Similarly,
When the region 3R of the divided light source 3 emits light, the observation position where the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light is within the hatched range including the line R surrounded by the dotted line. Since the transmissive image display plate 1 does not emit light itself and controls transmitted light to display an image, an image cannot be seen without a backlight. for that reason,
Since the state in which the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 can be seen to emit light corresponds to the state in which there is a backlight, when the region 3L is emitting light, the region 3R emits light only when viewed from within the shaded region including the line L. When it is present, the image on the transmissive image display panel 1 can be observed only when it is seen from within the shaded area including the line R. Therefore, the images R and L are switched at high speed by the time division circuit 5 and displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1, and the division control circuit 6 correspondingly outputs the left and right light emitting regions 3R and 3L of the division light source 3.
By switching between the high speeds of the left eye and the right eye from any position in the shaded area including the line L and the right eye from any position in the shaded area including the line R, the R and L can be viewed as direction images with different parallax angles for the left and right eyes separately.

Further, the luminance depending on the position in the shaded area where the image on the transmissive image display plate 1 can be observed is shown in FIG.
Described in. 2A shows an optical path of a backlight which illuminates each position on the transmissive image display plate 1 when viewed from the point a and from the point c. In (b), since the light of the entire region 3L passes through the transmissive image display plate 1, it seems that only the light at the point 3a passes through the transmissive image display plate 1 and is brighter than in the case of (a). However, of the light emitted from the point 3a in (b), only the light passing through the point 2b can be seen at the point c, and it is irrelevant otherwise. That is, the brightness of light passing through the point 2b is the same in (a) and (b). Similarly, points 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e
As for the light emitted by, only the light passing through the points 2a, 2c, 2d, and o out of all the points emitting light in all directions can be seen at the point c, so the transmissive image display plate 1 can be seen from the point a. Also, the brightness is the same when viewed from the point b. As a result, since it is possible to observe as a directional image of the same brightness regardless of the position in the shaded area where the image of the transmissive image display plate 1 can be observed, the stereoscopic display can be observed in a wide range.

Embodiment 2 FIG. In the first embodiment, the split light source 3
In the second embodiment, the divided light source 3 is divided into three or more parts in the left-right direction to emit light, and FIG. 3 is a stereoscopic image display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a principle view of the above as viewed from above. In the figure, 7 is a plurality of video signal sources for outputting signals of three or more directional images to be displayed on the transmissive video display panel 1, and 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D in FIG.
Outputs four images A, B, C, D. Reference numeral 8 denotes a plurality of time division circuits for sequentially switching three or more directional images to be displayed on the transmissive image display panel 1, and 9 denotes a divided light source 3 for the transmissive image display panel 1.
Corresponding to the sequential switching of three or more direction images displayed on
This is a multiple division control circuit that controls so as to sequentially emit light in the regions 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D divided as described above.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when the region 3A of the divided light source 3 divided by the multi-division control circuit 9 is emitting light, the convex lens plate 2
The observation position where the entire surface is seen to emit light is within the shaded area including the line A surrounded by the solid lines of points a, e, f, g, and outside this range, the light emitted from the area 3A of the split light source 3 is visible. No
The convex lens plate 2 is dark. Similarly, the region 3B of the divided light source 3,
When 3C and 3D are emitting light, the observation position where the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 is seen to emit light is within a hatched range including the lines B, C, and D surrounded by dotted lines. Since the transmissive image display plate 1 does not emit light itself but controls transmitted light to display an image, the light emitting regions 3A, 3B, 3C, 3 of the split light source 3 are displayed.
In response to the high-speed switching of D, the images A, B, C, and D are switched by the multiple time division circuit 8 and displayed on the transmissive image display panel 1, so that the directions of the lines A, B, C, and D can be changed. Images can be projected. As a result, different stereoscopic images can be seen at the three viewing positions where the left and right eyes are at positions A and B, or B and C, or C and D. For example, the stereoscopic display object was viewed by moving in the left and right direction. It is also possible to display the wraparound in the case.

Example 3. In the second embodiment, the split light source 3
In the third embodiment, the split light source 3 is further divided into the left and right and up and down directions to emit light. FIG. 4 shows the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a principle view of the stereoscopic image display device as seen from an angle. In the figure, a plurality of video signal sources 7 are signal sources of left-right and up-down direction images to be displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1, and in FIG.
A total of 16 images A divided into 4 parts on the left, right, and top of 7DD
Output A to DD. The plurality of video signal sources 7 are switched by the plurality of time division circuits 8 to display on the transmissive video display panel 1.
Reference numeral 10 is a plane division control circuit for controlling the divided light sources 3 to sequentially emit light in the left and right divided regions 3AA to 3DD corresponding to the sequential switching of the left and right direction images displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1. Is.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the plane division control circuit 10 controls 16 of the divided light sources 3.
When the area 3DB of the divided areas is emitting light, the observation position where the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light is within the octahedron range including the surface DB, and outside this range, the light is emitted from the area 3DB of the divided light source 3. I can't see the light. In synchronization with the high-speed switching of the light emitting areas 3AA to 3DD of the divided light source 3, the image AA to
Since DD is switched by the plurality of time division circuits 8 and displayed on the transmissive image display plate 1, images in each direction can be projected in 16 directions in total on the left and right. As a result, the left and right eyes can see different stereoscopic images in the left-right direction and the vertical direction at the viewpoint positions, and for example, the wraparound can be displayed when the stereoscopic display object is moved in the left-right direction and the vertical direction.

Example 4. FIG. 5 is a principle view of a stereoscopic image display device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention as viewed from above. In the figure, 11 is a left / right position detector for detecting the left / right position of an observer, and 12 is a left / right position detector for moving the split position of the split light source 3.
It is a division position moving circuit that controls so as to emit light in a divided region.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, when the division position moving circuit 12 alternately emits light in the left and right regions 3E and 3F divided at the point 3f on the divided light source 3, when the region 3E is emitting light, the entire convex lens plate 2 emits light. The observable position that appears is within the shaded area including the line E surrounded by the solid lines of the points a, h, i, and j.
When F is emitting light, the observation position where the entire surface of the convex lens plate 2 appears to be emitting light is within the range of diagonal lines including the line F surrounded by the dotted line. That is, the viewpoint position by projecting the directional images of the images R and L moves left and right according to the movement of the point h at the point o symmetrical position when the point 3f on the divided light source 3 is moved left and right. Therefore, when the observer moves to the left and right, the left and right position detector 11 that detects the position of the observer is used to move the division position moving circuit 12
By making the observer follow the viewpoint position by projecting the direction images of the images R and L, the stereoscopic image can be always observed even when the observer moves.

Example 5. FIG. 6 is a principle view of the stereoscopic image display device according to the fifteenth embodiment of the present invention as seen from above. In other words, the division position moving circuit 12 according to the fourth embodiment is required in the left and right directions depending on the position of the observer. In this area, the light emitting position left / right moving circuit 13 for making the divided light sources emit light is shown. As shown in FIG. 6, the left-right position detector 11 for detecting the position of the observer controls the light-emission position left-right movement circuit 13, and if the observer's EYE1 and EYE2 are at the positions of points a and k, the divided light sources are detected. If light is emitted only on points 3a and 3e on 3 and EYE1 and EYE2 move to the positions of points e and l, the light emitting points on the divided light source 3 move to the positions of points 3c and 3g. That is, as in the case of the fourth embodiment, the stereoscopic image can be always observed even when the observer moves left and right, and the power consumption can be reduced by minimizing the light emitting area on the divided light source 3. .

Example 6. In the fourth and fifth embodiments, the light emitting area of the divided light source 3 is moved in the left-right direction, but the sixth embodiment is different.
Further, the light emitting region of the divided light source 3 is moved to the left and right and up and down, and FIG. 7 is a principle view of the stereoscopic image display device according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention when viewed obliquely. In the figure, 14 is a plane position detector that detects the left and right and up and down positions of the observer, and 15 is a light emitting position plane moving circuit that causes the split light source 3 to emit light in the left and right and up and down directions in a minimum necessary area.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, a plane position detector 14 for detecting the plane position of the observer.
The light emitting position plane moving circuit 15 is controlled by the
If E1 and EYE2 are located at the points aa and ba, a stereoscopic image can be observed by emitting light only on the points 3aa and 3ba on the split light source 3, and the light emitting area on the split light source 3 can be minimized in the vertical direction. It is possible to further reduce power consumption by causing light emission only in the range.

Example 7. FIG. 8 is a principle view of a stereoscopic image display device according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention viewed from above. In the figure, 16 is a distance detector that detects the distance to the observer, and 17 is a light emitting area left / right variable circuit that changes the light emitting area range in the left / right direction of the divided light source 3 according to the distance to the observer.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, when the left and right eyes of the observer are at the points n and p,
The light emitting position left / right moving circuit 13 is moved by the left / right position detector 11.
Indicates the light emitting position in the left and right direction, and the light emitting area left / right variable circuit 17 controls the light emitting area range by the distance detector 16 to cause the areas 3G and 3H of the divided light source 3 to emit light alternately. Area 3
G and 3H emit light with overlapping ranges, so the convex lens plate 2
Both diagonally shaded areas of the observation position where the entire surface appears to emit light are overlapped, but the range in which the points n and p can follow can be made wider than the range of Examples 4 and 5 described in FIGS.

Example 8. In the above-described seventh embodiment, the tracking of the viewpoint position with respect to the observer is in the left-right and front-back directions, but in the eighth embodiment, the vertical position is further tracked. FIG. It is a principle view seen from the diagonal of the device. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes a light emitting area plane variable circuit for changing the left and right and up and down light emitting area ranges of the divided light source 3 according to the distance to the observer.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when the left and right eyes of the observer are at the positions of the points ga and gb, the plane position detector 14 causes the plane light emitting position moving circuit 15 to determine the light emitting positions in the left and right and up and down directions, respectively. The light emitting area plane variable circuit 18 controls the light emitting area range in the left / right and up / down directions by using
Alternately emit HA. Since the regions 3GA and 3HA emit light with overlapping ranges, the range of the observation position where the entire convex lens plate 2 appears to emit light also overlaps, but the stereoscopic images at points ga and gb are emitted from the regions 3GA and 3HA on the split light source 3. It is possible to observe the light only by itself, and since it is possible to emit light only in a required range in the vertical direction and follow the front and rear positions as compared with the seventh embodiment described in FIG. 8, it is possible to reduce power consumption.

Example 9. FIG. 10 is a principle view of a stereoscopic image display device according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention viewed from above.

Further, the signals of the plurality of video signal sources 7 correspond to the alternating light emission by the division position switching circuit 20 by the three time division circuits 5 in the combination of the video signals A and B, the video signals B and C, and the video signals C and D. It has been switched. Here, when the left and right eyes of the observer are at the positions A and B, the left and right position detector 11 detects and controls the division position switching circuit 20, and the division light source 3 is divided into the region 3 by the point 3c.
The signal left / right switching circuit is selected so as to display the output of the time division circuit 5 for switching the video signals A and B at the same time as alternately emitting light of A and the other. Similarly, even when the left and right eyes of the observer are at positions B and C, and C and D, selection is made by the signal left / right switching circuit. As a result, even when three or more directional images are displayed in the left-right direction, the three or more directional images are not sequentially switched and displayed as in the second embodiment, but display is performed by alternately switching each adjacent directional image for a time. Can be selected and displayed according to the position of the observer, so that it is not necessary to increase the switching frequency in order to reduce flicker.

The signals are alternately emitted and at the same time, the output of the time division circuit 5 for switching the video signals A and B is selected by the signal left / right switching circuit so as to be displayed on the transmissive video display panel 1. Similarly, even when the left and right eyes of the observer are at positions B and C, and C and D, selection is made by the signal left / right switching circuit. As a result, the same display as that of the ninth embodiment is displayed on the split light source 3.
Since the light emitting area of can be made small, the power consumption can be reduced.

The signal left / right switching circuit 19 selects the left / right position of the output of the time division circuit 5 for switching between the signals CB and DB.
Further, the vertical position is selected by the signal vertical switching circuit 22 and displayed on the transmissive image display panel 1. As a result, instead of sequentially switching the left, right, upper and lower direction images to be displayed as in the third embodiment, the display in which the adjacent direction images are alternately switched for a time is selected and displayed according to the position of the observer. Because you can
