Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image reproducing apparatus for facing a stereoscopic image obtained by reproducing a disc on a display panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent personal computers (hereinafter abbreviated as personal computers), technological development has been made possible because it is easy to input various data into the personal computer and edit the input data and output the data. Going forward, desktop PCs are called stationary PCs that are placed on a desk, and laptop PCs are called portable PCs (usually referred to as notebook PCs) that are convenient to carry around. Various products have been developed according to the application.

When the operator proceeds with a business negotiation with the customer while operating these personal computers, the display panel of the personal computer is moved toward the customer facing the operator, or the operator gives the customer the customer. Business negotiations can proceed under the arrangement facing the display panel, such as moving diagonally to line up with the customer.

As described above, when proceeding with a business negotiation using a conventional type personal computer having a display panel integrated with an operation section, the display panel of the personal computer should be disposed toward the operation section side. Due to this, there is an inconvenience that it is difficult for the operator to conduct face-to-face business negotiations with the customer at the same time by using a personal computer.

On the other hand, a so-called game device is a stereoscopic image reproducing device which has a personal computer function and projects a stereoscopic image obtained by reproducing a 3D disc to reproduce a more realistic scene and is used for a game or the like. Has been used as a prize in the general market.

In recent years, in order to effectively use a 3D image by a 3D disk and use it for business purposes in business negotiations, a 3D image reproducing device using a liquid crystal display as a display panel has been developed.

However, when a liquid crystal display is used for the display panel, there is a drawback in that the operator and the customer must be located within a range where the stereoscopic image can be normally recognized.

That is, in the range where a good image peculiar to a liquid crystal display can be obtained, a normal image can be seen when the liquid crystal display is observed from the front, but when the viewpoint is moved, the lightness and darkness of the image is reversed and whitish in other directions. Since the image is a (low contrast) image, the angle range where the original good image is obtained is about ± 10 to 15 degrees centering on the front of the liquid crystal display. It is necessary to set the orientation of the display panel as well.

Further, in the case of a stereoscopic image, the reproduced image is stereoscopically viewed on the basis of the left and right parallax of a human, so that the image displayed on the liquid crystal display does not exceed the horizontal range in which the image can be stereoscopically viewed. Need to be adjusted,
The angular range of the liquid crystal display further narrows the range in which the user and the customer are located.

For this reason, in a business negotiation for advancing a three-dimensional image using a liquid crystal display, there is a problem that face-to-face business negotiations in which the display panel is opposed to the customer are restricted, and at the same time, a realistic three-dimensional image is displayed. The problem was how to proceed with business negotiations based on replay images that take advantage of the advantages.
