Description

3D display device, method and terminal

Technical Field

The present application relates to a naked-eye type 3D display technology, and for example, to a 3D display device, a 3D display method, and a 3D display terminal.

Background

3D (stereoscopic) imaging is one of the hot technologies in the video industry, and the technology change from flat display to 3D display is being promoted. The 3D display technology is a key part in the 3D image industry, and is mainly classified into two types, namely, glasses type 3D display technology and naked eye type 3D display technology. The naked-eye 3D display technology is a technology in which a user can view a 3D display screen without wearing glasses. Compared with glasses type 3D display, the glasses type 3D display belongs to an auto-stereoscopic display technology, and the constraint on a user is reduced.

The naked-eye 3D display is based on a viewpoint, and recently, multi-viewpoint naked-eye 3D display has been proposed, so that a sequence of parallax images (frames) is formed at different positions in a space, so that a pair of 3D images having a parallax relationship can enter left and right eyes of a person, respectively, thereby giving a 3D feeling to a user. For a conventional multi-view naked eye 3D display with e.g. N views, multiple views of the space are to be projected with multiple independent pixels on the display panel.

However, in the configuration of the conventional naked-eye 3D display, a 3D display effect is provided by providing a raster on one side or both sides of a 2D display panel, and transmission and display of a 3D image or video are based on the 2D display panel. This presents the dilemma of resolution degradation and a surge in rendering computation.

The proliferation of rendering computations results in an increased computational burden on the display. This is likely to cause image display delays, machine jams, or other display-unsmooth problems.

This background is only for convenience in understanding the relevant art in this field and is not to be taken as an admission of prior art.
