About.

A laminated type three-dimensional display device that displays a three-dimensional stereoscopic image to an observer by arranging a plurality of transmission type display devices (for example, liquid crystal display devices) at different depth positions as viewed from the observer is known. ing. As one of the stacked three-dimensional display devices, for example, there are (Depth Fused 3-D) type three-dimensional display devices disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below.
The DFD-type three-dimensional display device described in Patent Document 2 is optically different from the observer when viewing two display surfaces, for example, display surface A and display surface B.

As prior art documents related to the invention of the present application, there are the following.
Japanese Patent No. 3460671 Japanese Patent No. 3022558 JP 2003-57595 A

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a conventional DFD type three-dimensional display device, and is a diagram illustrating the three-dimensional display device described in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 3 described above.
The three-dimensional display device shown in FIG. 17 includes a plurality of projector-type two-dimensional display devices (for example, CRT type, LCD type, ILA type, DMD type, etc.) (161, 162) and reflective holographic diffusion that is a transparent screen. The display device is configured by using the plates (131, 132).
The reflective holographic diffusion plates (131, 132) are generally transparent so that the observer can see the display behind.
However, in the configuration shown in FIG. 17, the screen and the projector must be arranged so that the projection light from the projector does not interfere with other screens, and the transparent screen interval must be increased to some extent for projection. It was.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to make the transparent screen interval narrower than before in a three-dimensional display device. However, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of displaying an image that is not separated back and forth.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of reducing crosstalk between transparent screens and realizing display for a large number of people in a three-dimensional display device.
The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

The inventors of the present application have found that in a multi-layer transparent screen display that projects from between transparent screens, there is a limit between the surfaces, and it is difficult to display continuous depth.
The present invention has been made on the basis of the above findings, and the outline of typical ones of the inventions disclosed in the present application will be briefly described as follows.
(1) A plurality of display devices arranged at different depth positions as viewed from an observer are provided, and at least two of the plurality of display devices have a transparent screen and an image on the transparent screen. A three-dimensional display device comprising a projection display device for projecting display, wherein the transparent screen reflects or diffuses light that enters at a specific angle determined in advance and comes from other directions The transparent screen has a property of transmitting light as it is. At least one transparent screen in the transparent screen projects an image from the observer side, and at least one transparent screen in the transparent screen. An image is projected from the opposite side to the observer on the transparent screen.

The effects obtained by the representative ones of the inventions disclosed in the present application will be briefly described as follows.
(1) According to the three-dimensional display device of the present invention, the interval between the transparent screens can be made narrower than before, and an image that is not separated back and forth even when viewed from near can be displayed.
(2) According to the three-dimensional display device of the present invention, it is possible to reduce crosstalk between transparent screens and realize display for a large number of people.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, parts having the same functions are given the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation thereof is omitted.
[Example 1]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a three-dimensional display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, two transparent screens (20, 21) are arranged, and an image is projected using two projectors (10, 11) for each. In this specification, the transparent screen is a transparent screen having a property of reflecting or diffusing light that enters at a specific angle determined in advance and transmitting light from other directions as it is. For example, a hologram transparent screen or the like.
In this embodiment, as the transparent screen 20 close to the viewer side, for example, a reflective transparent screen (for example, a crystal illusion film (product name)) in which a liquid crystal material is coated on a transparent film is used, and another transparent screen 20 is used. As the screen 21, a transmissive hologram transparent screen can be used.
The projection light from the projector 10 is imaged on the transparent screen 20 close to the observer 100. Since the transparent screen 20 is a reflection type, the imaged light efficiently reaches the eyes of the observer 100.
The projection light from the projector 11 forms an image on the transparent screen 21 far from the observer 100. Since the transparent screen 21 is a transmission type, the imaged light is directed toward the observer 100. Since the transparent screen 20 close to the observer 100 is transparent, the observer 100 can simultaneously see the images on the front and rear transparent screens.

Thus, in this embodiment, a three-dimensional display of a stacked type is possible. In this embodiment, a bright image can be seen because there is no light absorption loss factor. Further, since the transparency of the front transparent screen 20 is good, the rear surface is not blurred. Furthermore, since the transparent screen has no pixel structure, moire suppression is unnecessary.
In addition, since the transparent screens (20, 21) are transparent, it is possible to express a unique image with a floating feeling in the air, and naturally, a see-through effect is also obtained.
In the present embodiment, the reflective transparent screen 20 is provided on the viewer side, but the transmissive transparent screen 21 may be provided on the viewer side. In this case, strong light emitted from the projector hits a transparent screen other than the transparent screen to be projected, so image quality is likely to deteriorate due to crosstalk. However, the projection distance can be saved by the distance between the transparent screens, reducing the installation space. There is an effect that can be done.
In addition, since many transparent screens use the diffraction effect, they function as a transparent screen for light from a specific direction and transmit light for light from other directions. . Therefore, by making the irradiation directions of the projectors non-parallel to each other, for example, even if light from the projector leaks and reaches an unintended transparent screen, it is transmitted as it is. A three-dimensional image can be obtained.

[Example 2]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the three-dimensional display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, two transparent screens (22, 23) that reflect specific polarized light are arranged, and images are projected using two projectors (12, 13) on each of them.
In this example, since the reflective transparent screen in which the liquid crystal material is coated on the transparent film exemplified in Example 1 described above has polarization selectivity, the same type of reflective screen was used. That is, as the transparent screen 22 close to the observer side, for example, the reflective transparent screen described in Example 1 that reflects right circularly polarized light is used, and as the other transparent screen 23, left circularly polarized light is reflected. The reflective transparent screen described in Example 1 was used.
The projection light from the projector 12 forms an image on the transparent screen 22 close to the observer 100. Since the transparent screen 22 is a reflection type, the imaged light efficiently reaches the eyes of the observer 100. In particular, by adjusting the polarization of the projection light from the projector 12 to the transparent screen 22 to be projected, it is possible to increase the reflection efficiency and suppress the leakage light.
The projection light from the projector 13 forms an image on the transparent screen 23 far from the observer 100. In particular, by matching the polarization of the projection light from the projector 13 with the transparent screen 23 far from the observer 100, the image can be projected and observed without being affected by the transparent screen 22 in front of the observer 100. . The observer 100 can see the images on the front and rear transparent screens at the same time.

In this embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, there is an advantage that the projection space can be reduced because the two projectors are on one side.
Further, in the configuration of FIG. 2, two types of transparent screens are necessary. As shown in FIG. 3, a half-wave plate, for example, a half-wave plate, is provided between two adjacent transparent screens. By providing the film 1, the polarization of the light applied to the transparent screen 24 in the back as viewed from the observer 100 can be set to a desired state. That is, it can be constituted by two transparent screens for selecting the same polarized light, and the cost can be reduced.
Further, in both of the examples of FIGS. 2 and 3, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to use a transmission type polarization selective transparent screen (25, 26) to form a rear projection configuration.
Further, by combining front projection and rear projection, a transparent screen four-surface configuration is possible. Further, the number of transparent screens can be further increased by utilizing the angle selectivity of the transparent screen.
In projection, as shown in FIG. 5, by providing polarizing plates (2, 3) between the projectors (12, 13) and the transparent screens (22, 23), the polarization purity is improved and the image quality is improved. Needless to say, you can.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, by providing a polarizing plate 4 between the transparent screens so as to attenuate the leakage light from the transparent screen 22 in front of the observer 100, crosstalk between the transparent screens can be reduced. The image quality can be reduced.
The configuration in which the polarizing plate 5 is sandwiched between the two is effective even in a mixed configuration of front projection and rear projection as shown in FIG. 7. By sandwiching the polarizing plate 4, the light of the projector 10 on the viewer side is reflected on the back side. Projection on the transparent screen 21 can be prevented, crosstalk can be reduced, and image quality can be improved.
In the present embodiment, a transparent screen for selecting a specific circularly polarized light is used, but it goes without saying that a transparent screen for selecting a specific linearly polarized light or a specific elliptically polarized light may be used.
In addition, the transparent screen far from the observer 100 does not necessarily require polarization selectivity, and it goes without saying that a general holographic transparent screen may be used when transparency is required, and a mere screen may be used when transparency is not required. .

Further, for a display device far from the viewer 100, as shown in FIG. 8, a liquid crystal display, plasma display, SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display), CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, LED (Light Emission Diode) display Any two-dimensional display device 30 such as a plasma display, an FED (Field Emission Display), a DMD (Digita 1 Mirror Display), an EL (electroluminescence) display, a rear projection display, an aurora vision, or a picture-story show may be used.
In addition, since many transparent screens use the diffraction effect, they function as a transparent screen for light from a specific direction and transmit light for light from other directions. . Therefore, by making the irradiation directions of the projectors non-parallel to each other, even if light from the projector leaks and reaches an unintended transparent screen, it is transmitted as it is. A dimensional image can be obtained.
In the first and second embodiments, the mode of projecting obliquely from above on the screen has been described, but it goes without saying that projection from a lower direction or a horizontal direction may be possible. Further, it goes without saying that various forms are possible, such as installing the screen at an angle close to horizontal and projecting from above and below.

[Example 3]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the three-dimensional display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
Image projection onto the transparent screen 20 close to the observer 100 is the same as in the second and third embodiments.
A feature of this embodiment is that a multi-eye directional image is used as a display far from the observer 100. In this embodiment, a directional transparent screen 27 that spreads incident light by a limited angle is used.
In FIG. 9, an LSD (beam shaping diffuser, Physical Optics Corporation (USA)) having a diffusion characteristic of 20 degrees in the left-right direction and 60 degrees in the up-down direction is used in order to generate a directional image of two eyes in the left-right direction. used. Then, the projectors (14, 15) were installed so that the angle between them was 20 °, and a directional image was generated.
The three-dimensional display device shown in FIG. 9 has two usage methods.
(1) The first is to observe two directional images at the positions of the left and right eyes, respectively, and appreciate the effect of the binocular stereoscopic effect.
(2) Second, observation is performed at a position where both eyes can see one directional image. In this case, by displaying the directional image corresponding to the viewpoint position, it is possible to display the front and back without shifting even at different viewing positions, and the observer 100 can move around and can be viewed by a large number of people.
In this embodiment, the rear image is a directional image, but a transparent screen with a small spread angle is used, and the front image may be a directional image, or both.
Furthermore, although an example using a binocular image has been described, a multi-view or super-multi-view directional image may be used, and the directivity may be not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction.
In addition, the directivity image on the screen far from the viewer 100 is not limited to the transparent screen, but may be a non-transparent screen, and is not limited to the projection type, but may be a direct view type, parallax barrier, lenticular lens, integral photo. Various types of displays such as graphy can be used.

[Example 4]
In each of the above-described embodiments, the stacked type three-dimensional display device has been mainly described. However, the three-dimensional display device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention replaces the three-dimensional display device described in each of the above-described embodiments with the DFD method. This is an embodiment applied to the three-dimensional display device.
First, a DFD type three-dimensional display device will be described.
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the three-dimensional display method of the DFD method.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of display surfaces, for example, display surfaces (101, 102) (the surface 101 is closer to the observer 100 than the surface 102) are set on the front surface of the observer 100. 2D images are respectively displayed on the display surfaces (101, 102). In order to display a plurality of two-dimensional images on these display surfaces (101, 102), an optical system is constructed using a two-dimensional display device and various optical elements.
As the two-dimensional display device, for example, a CRT (cathode ray tube) display, a liquid crystal display, an LED (Light Emission Diode) display, a plasma display, an FED (Field Emission Display), a DMD (Digita1 Mirror Display), A projection type display, a line drawing type display, or the like can be used. However, in the present embodiment, these two display devices can be used only when the last display surface does not need to be a transmissive transparent screen. A dimensional display can be used.
Further, as the optical element, for example, a lens, a total reflection mirror, a partial reflection mirror, a curved mirror, a prism, a polarization element, a wave plate, or the like is used.
Note that FIG. 10 has the same configuration as that described in Patent Document 2 described above, and for the method of setting the display surface, refer to Patent Document 2 described above.

Hereinafter, a DFD three-dimensional display method will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 11, an image (hereinafter referred to as “hereinafter,“ a three-dimensional object 104) to be presented to the viewer 100 is projected onto the display surface (101, 102) from the direction of the eyes of both eyes of the viewer 100. 2D image (105, 106), which is called “2D image”.
As a method for generating the 2D image, for example, a method using a two-dimensional image obtained by photographing a three-dimensional object 104 with a camera from the line-of-sight direction, a method of combining from a plurality of two-dimensional images taken from different directions, or There are various methods such as a computer graphic synthesis technique and a method using modeling.
As shown in FIG. 10, the 2D image (105, 106) overlaps both the display surface 101 and the display surface 102 as viewed from one point on the line connecting the right eye and the left eye of the viewer 100, respectively. To display. This can be achieved, for example, by controlling the arrangement of the center position and the gravity center position of each 2D image (105, 106) and the enlargement / reduction of each image.
In the present embodiment, the depth position of the three-dimensional object 104 is maintained on the apparatus having the above-described configuration while keeping the brightness of each of the 2D images (105, 106) constant as viewed from the viewer 100. In response to the above, a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of the three-dimensional object 104 existing between the display surface 101 and the display surface 102 is displayed.

An example of how to change the luminance of each 2D image (105, 106) will be described.
For example, when the three-dimensional object 104 is on the display surface 101, as shown in FIG. 12, the luminance of the 2D image 105 above is made equal to the luminance of the three-dimensional object 104, and 2D on the display surface 102 is displayed. The luminance of the converted image 106 is zero.
In FIG. 12 to FIG. 16, since the drawings are black and white, the higher luminance is shown darker for easy understanding.
Next, for example, when the three-dimensional object 104 is slightly away from the viewer 100 and is slightly closer to the display surface 102 than the display surface 101, the brightness of the 2D image 105 is increased as shown in FIG. Slightly lower the brightness of the 2D image 106 slightly.
Further, for example, when the three-dimensional object 104 is further away from the observer 100 and is further away from the display surface 101 toward the display surface 102, the brightness of the 2D image 105 is further increased as shown in FIG. The brightness of the 2D image 106 is further increased.

Further, for example, when the three-dimensional object 104 is on the display surface 102, the luminance of the 2D image 106 on the display surface 102 is made equal to the luminance of the three-dimensional object 104 as shown in FIG. The brightness of the 2D image 105 is zero. In the above description, setting the luminance of the 2D image displayed on the display surface (101, 102) to zero means that nothing is displayed on the display surface (101, 102).
By displaying in this way, even if the 2D image (105, 106) is displayed due to the physiological or psychological factors or illusions of the observer (person) 100, it is as if the observer 100 It feels as if the three-dimensional object 104 is located in the middle of the display surface (101, 102).
That is, for example, when a 2D image (105, 106) having substantially equal luminance is displayed on the display surface (101, 102), the three-dimensional object 104 is located near the middle of the depth position of the display surface (101, 102). It feels like there is.
In this case, the three-dimensional object 104 is perceived by the observer 100 with a stereoscopic effect. In the above description, for example, the method of expressing the depth position of the entire three-dimensional object using, for example, a two-dimensional image displayed on the display surface (101, 102) has been mainly described. For example, it is obvious that the method can also be used as a method of expressing the depth of the three-dimensional object itself.

An important point in expressing the depth of the three-dimensional object itself is that the brightness of each part of the 2D image (105, 106) is viewed from the observer 100 on the apparatus having the configuration shown in FIG. It is to change corresponding to the depth position of each part of the three-dimensional object 104 while keeping the overall luminance constant.
An example of how to change the luminance of each 2D image (105, 106) will be described.
16A shows an example of a 2D image displayed on a display surface close to the viewer 100, for example, the display surface 101, and FIG. 16B shows a display surface far from the viewer 100, for example, the display surface 102. 2D is an example of a 2D image displayed on the screen.
For example, when a cake as shown in FIG. 16 is taken as an example of a three-dimensional object, the upper surface and the lower surface of the cake (three-dimensional object) are, for example, substantially flat, except for the candle that stands on the top. The side surface is, for example, a cylindrical shape, and the candle is disposed, for example, near the circumference of the upper surface.
In the 2D image in this case, on the upper surface and the lower display surface, the upper side is located at the back, and on the side surface, the middle is located at the back as it goes toward the end, and further the hidden upper middle is It will be located in the back.

In this case, the luminance change on the upper and lower display surfaces is a portion close to the observer 100 (in the 2D image, as shown in FIG. 16A) on the display surface close to the observer 100, for example, the display surface 101. For example, the lower part is gradually changed corresponding to the depth position so that the luminance is high and the far part (for example, the upper part in the 2D image) has a low luminance. Further, on a display surface far from the viewer 100, for example, the display screen 102, as shown in FIG. 16B, a portion close to the viewer 100 (for example, the lower side in the 2D image) has low brightness and is far from the viewer. The part (in the 2D image, for example, the upper part) is gradually changed corresponding to the depth position so that the luminance is increased.
Next, the change in luminance of the cylindrical portion also corresponds to the depth position, and on the display surface close to the viewer 100, for example, on the display surface 101, as shown in FIG. For example, the luminance is gradually changed so that the luminance is high in the vicinity of the middle) and the luminance is low in the far part (for example, near the left and right ends).
Further, on a display surface far from the viewer 100, for example, the display screen 102, as shown in FIG. 16B, a portion near the viewer 100 (for example, near the middle) has a low luminance and a portion far away (for example, near the center) , The left and right edges are gradually changed so that the luminance increases.
By displaying in this way, even if a two-dimensional image is displayed due to the physiological or psychological factors or illusion of the observer (person) 100, the observer 100 is as if the upper and lower display surfaces are displayed. There seems to be an almost flat columnar cake.

In the above description, the description has been given of the case where only the two display surfaces are mainly described among the display surfaces on which the two-dimensional image is arranged, and the object to be presented to the observer 100 is between the two display surfaces. However, even if the number of display surfaces on which a two-dimensional image is arranged is larger than this, or even when the position of an object to be presented is different, it is possible to display a three-dimensional stereoscopic image by a similar method. it is obvious.
For example, there are three display surfaces, the first three-dimensional object between the display surface close to the observer 100 and the intermediate display surface, and the intermediate display surface and the display surface far from the observer 100 If the second three-dimensional object is present on the display surface, a 2D image of the first three-dimensional object is displayed on the display surface close to the viewer 100 and the intermediate display surface, and the intermediate display surface; By displaying the 2D image of the second three-dimensional object on the display surface far from the observer 100, it is possible to display the three-dimensional stereoscopic images of the first and second three-dimensional objects.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, no particular description has been given regarding the case where the 2D image moves three-dimensionally, but the movement of the observer 100 in the horizontal and vertical directions is the same as in the case of a normal two-dimensional display device. This is possible by moving image reproduction within the display surface. Regarding the movement in the depth direction, the luminance of each of the 2D images (105, 106) is kept constant while maintaining the overall luminance as viewed from the observer 100. It is obvious that a moving image of a three-dimensional image can be expressed by changing the depth position of the three-dimensional stereoscopic image corresponding to the temporal change.
For example, a case where a three-dimensional stereoscopic image moves from the display surface 101 to the display surface 102 in time will be described.
When the 3D stereoscopic image is on the display surface 101, the luminance of the 2D image 105 on the display surface 101 is made equal to the luminance of the 3D stereoscopic image, and the luminance of the 2D image 106 on the display surface 102 is zero. And
Next, for example, when the three-dimensional stereoscopic image gradually moves away from the observer 100 in time and slightly approaches in time from the display surface 101 toward the display surface 102, the depth position of the three-dimensional stereoscopic image is changed. Corresponding to the movement, the luminance of the 2D image 105 is slightly lowered in time, and the luminance of the 2D image 106 is slightly increased in time.
Next, for example, when the three-dimensional stereoscopic image is further away from the observer 100 in time and moved to the position closer to the display surface 102 than the display surface 101, the depth position of the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. Accordingly, the luminance of the 2D image 105 is further lowered with time, and the luminance of the 2D image 106 is further raised with time.

Further, for example, when the 3D stereoscopic image finally moves to the display surface 102 in time, the luminance of the 2D image 106 above the 3D stereoscopic image 106 is adjusted to correspond to the movement of the depth position of the 3D stereoscopic image. The time is changed until it becomes equal to the luminance of the three-dimensional stereoscopic image, and is changed until the luminance of the 2D image 105 on the display surface 101 becomes zero.
By displaying in this way, even if a 2D image (105, 106) is displayed due to a human physiological or psychological factor or illusion, the viewer 100 is as if the display surface (101, 101) is displayed. 102), it is felt that the three-dimensional stereoscopic image moves from the display surface 101 to the display surface 102 in the depth direction.
In the above description, the case where the three-dimensional stereoscopic image moves from the display surface 101 to the display surface 102 has been described, but this moves from the halfway position between the display surfaces (101, 102) to the display surface 102. In the case of moving to a depth position in the middle between the display surface 101 and the display surface (101, 102) or from the depth position in the middle between the display surfaces (101, 102). It is clear that the same can be done even when moving to another depth position in the middle.

In the above description, only the two display surfaces are mainly described in the display surface on which the 2D image is arranged, and the three-dimensional stereoscopic image presented to the observer 100 moves between the two display surfaces. Although the case has been described, even when the number of display surfaces on which a two-dimensional image is arranged is larger than this, or even when a three-dimensional object to be presented moves across a plurality of display surfaces, the same method is used. It is obvious that a three-dimensional stereoscopic image can be displayed and the same effect can be expected.
Furthermore, in the above description, a case where one 3D stereoscopic image moves within two display surfaces on which a 2D image is arranged has been described. However, when a plurality of 3D objects move, that is, displayed. If the two-dimensional image includes a plurality of object images having different movement directions, the luminance of the object image displayed on each display surface is determined according to the movement direction and movement speed of the object for each object image. Obviously, it can be changed. For a detailed description of the three-dimensional display method of this embodiment, refer to the above-mentioned Patent Document 2.

In this embodiment, the luminance distribution image that distributes the luminance of the image to be displayed to two adjacent screens (for example, the transparent screen 20 and the transparent screen 21) according to the DFD method, that is, according to the display position of the image to be displayed. A generation device 50 and a control device 51 for displaying the luminance-distributed image on each transparent screen, and projecting and displaying the above-described 2D image from each projector on the above-described transparent screen (20 to 23). A three-dimensional image is displayed by the DFD method. In this case, the luminance distribution image generation device 50 may be incorporated in each projector.
As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to inexpensively and easily perform three-dimensional display of a large screen with less fatigue. In addition, the space between the display surfaces can be narrowed, the depth feeling can be continuous, and the depth of the apparatus can be shortened.
In addition, crosstalk between the screens can be reduced, and further, a laminated three-dimensional display that does not easily form a double image even at different viewing positions is possible.
As mentioned above, the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described based on the above embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Of course.
