Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device,

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device.

The stereoscopic image display device is divided into a stereoscopic technique and an autostereoscopic technique.

The binocular parallax method uses the parallax images of the left and right eyes with large stereoscopic effects. In the binocular parallax system, there are a glasses system and a non-glasses system, and both systems are now practically used. In the spectacle method, the polarizing direction of the right and left parallax images is changed in a time-division manner to a direct-view liquid crystal panel or a projector, and a stereoscopic image is implemented using polarizing glasses or liquid crystal shutter glasses. In the non-eyeglass system, an optical plate such as a parallax barrier for separating the optical axis of left and right parallax images is installed in front of or behind the liquid crystal panel.

The pattern-driven retarder mixes the left-eye image and the right-eye image in a line-by-line manner and displays them in an interlace manner. To this end, the patterned retarder polarizes the odd lines to right circularly polarized light and the even lines to left circularly polarized light (or vice versa) to separate the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel.

The patterned retarder has a black matrix for distinguishing between the odd line and the even line, thereby causing luminance drop in the two-dimensional image display. Conventionally, one subpixel is divided into a main subpixel and an auxiliary subpixel, and image data is input to the main subpixel and the auxiliary subpixel at the time of two-dimensional image display, and the image data is input to the main subpixel at the time of three- A black matrix is implemented by inputting black data into subpixels.

However, in the case of a three-dimensional image display device in which one sub-pixel is divided into a main sub-pixel and an auxiliary sub-pixel to represent a three-dimensional image, there is a need to improve the viewing angle.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a stereoscopic image display device capable of freeing up and down viewing angles and capable of increasing a horizontal resolution during driving in a 2D mode, Device.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal panel which is switched to one of a 2D mode and a 3D mode; A pattern retarder positioned on the display surface of the liquid crystal panel; A gate driver for supplying gate signals through gate lines arranged in the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal panel; And a data driver for supplying data signals through data lines arranged in the vertical direction of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the liquid crystal panel includes subpixels divided into a first subpixel and a second subpixel, The size of the horizontal direction is larger than the size of the three-dimensional image.

The pattern retarder may include a vertically partitioned black matrix.

The black matrix may be formed in a plurality corresponding to a region between the first subpixel and the second subpixel.

The sizes of the first subpixel and the second subpixel may be different from each other.

The size of the first subpixel may be greater than the size of the second subpixel.

The size of the second subpixel may be greater than the size of the first subpixel.

When the liquid crystal panel is driven in the 2D mode, the first subpixel and the second subpixel display an image, and when the liquid crystal panel is driven in the 3D mode, one of the first subpixel and the second subpixel displays an image, Can be in a black state.

In a liquid crystal panel, one subpixel can be defined by one gate line and two data lines.

When the liquid crystal panel is driven in the 2D mode, image data may be supplied to two data lines.

When the liquid crystal panel is driven in the 3D mode, one of the two data lines may be supplied with image data and the other may be supplied with black data.

Since the size of the subpixel in the horizontal direction is larger than that of the vertical direction, the upper and lower viewing angles can be free, so that the horizontal resolution is increased more than two times There is an effect of providing a stereoscopic image display device which can be provided with a stereoscopic image.

The user interface includes user input means such as an OSD (On Screen Display), a remote controller, a keyboard, and a mouse. Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the image supply unit (SBD) is selected as the 3D mode and supplies the 3D image frame data to the timing control unit (TCN).

The timing control unit TCN receives 3D image frame data including left eye image frame data and right eye image frame data from the image supply unit SBD. The timing controller TCN alternately supplies the left eye image frame data and the right eye image frame data to the driver DRV at a frame frequency of 120 Hz or more. In addition, the timing control unit TCN supplies a control signal corresponding to the image frame data to the driving unit DRV.

The driving unit DRV includes a data driver connected to the data lines to supply a data signal, and a gate driver connected to the gate lines and supplying a gate signal. The data driver of the driving unit DRV converts the digital left-eye and right-eye image frame data into analog left-eye and right-eye image frame data under the control of the timing control unit TCN and supplies them to the data lines. The data driver supplies the data signals through the data lines arranged in the vertical direction. The gate driver of the driver DRV sequentially supplies the gate signals to the gate lines under the control of the timing controller TCN. The gate driver supplies the gate signals through the gate lines arranged in the horizontal direction.

A liquid crystal panel (LCD) receives a gate signal and a data signal from a driver DRV, and displays a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image corresponding thereto. A liquid crystal panel (LCD) includes a thin film transistor substrate (hereinafter referred to as a TFT substrate) on which a thin film transistor (TFT) and a capacitor are formed, and a color filter substrate on which a color filter and a black matrix are formed. In the liquid crystal panel (LCD), subpixels (SP) including a liquid crystal layer formed between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate are formed in a matrix form.

2, the subpixel SP may include a red subpixel SPr, a green subpixel SPg, and a blue subpixel SPb. The red subpixel SPr, the green subpixel SPg and the blue subpixel SPb are formed in the display region and partitioned into the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2, respectively. The first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 may be implemented in an IPS (In Plane Switching) mode, a FFS (Fringe Field Switching) mode, a TN (Twisted Nematic) mode, a VA .

 In this structure, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 display images. On the other hand, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 3D mode, one of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 displays an image while the other is in a black state. This will be described in more detail below.

The lower polarizer plate POL1 and the upper polarizer plate POL2 are attached to the TFT substrate of the liquid crystal panel (LCD) and the color filter substrate, respectively. The liquid crystal panel (LCD) thus configured is capable of displaying an image by the light provided from the backlight unit (BLU).

The backlight unit BLU is driven under the control of the image supply unit SBD or the timing control unit TCN to provide light to the liquid crystal panel LCD. The backlight unit BLU includes a light source for emitting light, a light guide plate for guiding the light emitted from the light source toward the liquid crystal panel (LCD), an optical member for diffusing and condensing the light emitted from the light guide plate, and the like.

The backlight unit (BLU) is composed of an edge type, a dual type, a quad type, and a direct type. In the edge type, a light source is arranged on one side of a liquid crystal panel (LCD), a dual type is a light source is arranged on both sides of a liquid crystal panel (LCD), and a quad type is a light source is arranged on all sides of a liquid crystal panel And the direct type is a type in which a light source is disposed below a liquid crystal panel (LCD).

The pattern retarder PRF displays a left-eye image and a right-eye image displayed on a liquid crystal panel (LCD) in a line-by-line manner and displays them in an interlace manner. To this end, the pattern retarder PRF separates the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel LCD by polarizing the odd line to the right circularly polarized light R and the even line to the left circularly polarized light L (or vice versa).

As shown in FIG. 3, the pattern retarder PRF is disposed on a liquid crystal panel (LCD), which is formed in a film form. The pattern retarder (PRF) includes a black matrix (BM) arranged in the vertical direction and composed of black series. The black matrix BM is arranged in a plurality corresponding to the area between the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 included in the sub-pixel. For example, one black matrix BM is arranged to correspond to an area between the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 included in the red subpixel SPr. That is, although the black matrix of the conventional pattern retarder is arranged in the horizontal direction, the black matrix of the pattern retarder of the first embodiment is formed in the vertical direction.

In the above description, the backlight unit (BLU), the liquid crystal panel (LCD), and the pattern retarder (PRF) are integrated devices for displaying images. Therefore, in the description of the present invention, these are defined as an image panel (PNL).

The polarizing glasses (GLS) serve to separate the image displayed on the image panel (PNL) into a left eye image and a right eye image. The left eyeglasses LEFT of the polarizing glasses GLS transmit only the odd sub-pixels displayed through the pattern retarder PRF, so that the user sees only the left eye image. On the other hand, the right eyeglasses RIGHT of the polarizing glasses GLS transmit only the even-numbered sub-pixels displayed through the pattern retarder PRF, so that the user sees only the right eye image.

According to the above structure, the left and right eye images are alternately displayed on the image panel PNL for each frame, and the user can view the three-dimensional image through the polarizing glasses (GLS).

Hereinafter, the structure of subpixels will be described in more detail.

The red subpixel SPr, the green subpixel SPg and the blue subpixel SPb are connected to the gate lines Gm to Gm + 2 rather than the vertical direction, which is the arrangement direction of the data lines Dn and Dn + The size in the horizontal direction is larger. In other words, although the conventional subpixel is formed to be long in the vertical direction which is the arrangement direction of the data lines Dn and Dn + 1, the subpixel of the first embodiment is arranged in the horizontal direction in the arrangement direction of the gate lines Gm to Gm + .

In the stereoscopic image display apparatus according to the first embodiment, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, one of the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 is a main subpixel And the other operates as an auxiliary sub-pixel to assist in this. In contrast, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) operates in the 3D mode, one of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 acts as a main sub-pixel for displaying an image and the other acts as an active black stripe .

In the case of the auxiliary subpixel that assists the main subpixel, it is formed to be smaller than the size of the main subpixel since it operates to serve as a black stripe when driving in the 3D mode, while preventing luminance degradation in the 2D mode driving.

When the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, the image data is supplied to the two data lines Dn and Dn + 1. In contrast, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 3D mode, the image data is supplied to the Nth data line Dn, which is one of the two data lines Dn and Dn + 1, Th data line Dn + 1 are supplied with black data.

When the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, the image data is supplied to the two data lines Dn and Dn + 1. In contrast, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 3D mode, black data is supplied to the Nth data line Dn, which is one of the two data lines Dn and Dn + 1, Th data line Dn + 1 is supplied with image data.

≪ Embodiment 2 >

6 is a view illustrating a part of a stereoscopic image display apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the stereoscopic image display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes an image supply unit SBD, a timing control unit TCN, a driving unit DRV, a liquid crystal panel LCD, (PRF) and polarizing glasses (GLS).

The image supply unit (SBD) generates 2D image frame data in a two-dimensional mode (2D mode) and 3D image frame data in a three-dimensional mode (3D mode). The image supply unit SBD supplies the timing control unit TCN with timing signals and video frame data such as a vertical synchronization signal Vsync, a horizontal synchronization signal Hsync, a data enable signal DE and a main clock do.

The image supply unit SBD is selected in a 2D or 3D mode according to a user selection input through the user interface, generates image frame data corresponding thereto, and supplies the image frame data to the timing control unit TCN. The user interface includes user input means such as an OSD (On Screen Display), a remote controller, a keyboard, and a mouse. Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the image supply unit (SBD) is selected as the 3D mode and supplies the 3D image frame data to the timing control unit (TCN).

The timing control unit TCN receives 3D image frame data including left eye image frame data and right eye image frame data from the image supply unit SBD. The timing controller TCN alternately supplies the left eye image frame data and the right eye image frame data to the driver DRV at a frame frequency of 120 Hz or more. In addition, the timing control unit TCN supplies a control signal corresponding to the image frame data to the driving unit DRV.

The driving unit DRV includes a data driver connected to the data lines to supply a data signal, and a gate driver connected to the gate lines and supplying a gate signal. The data driver of the driving unit DRV converts the digital left-eye and right-eye image frame data into analog left-eye and right-eye image frame data under the control of the timing control unit TCN and supplies them to the data lines. The data driver supplies the data signals through the data lines arranged in the vertical direction. The gate driver of the driver DRV sequentially supplies the gate signals to the gate lines under the control of the timing controller TCN. The gate driver supplies the gate signals through the gate lines arranged in the horizontal direction.

A liquid crystal panel (LCD) receives a gate signal and a data signal from a driver DRV, and displays a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional image corresponding thereto. A liquid crystal panel (LCD) includes a thin film transistor substrate (hereinafter referred to as a TFT substrate) on which a thin film transistor (TFT) and a capacitor are formed, and a color filter substrate on which a color filter and a black matrix are formed. In the liquid crystal panel (LCD), subpixels (SP) including a liquid crystal layer formed between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate are formed in a matrix form.

The subpixel SP may include a green subpixel and a blue subpixel as well as a red subpixel SPr. The red subpixel SPr, the green subpixel, and the blue subpixel are formed in the display region and partitioned into the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2, respectively. The first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 may be implemented in an IPS (In Plane Switching) mode, a FFS (Fringe Field Switching) mode, a TN (Twisted Nematic) mode, a VA .

The size of the red subpixel SPr, the green subpixel, and the blue subpixel is larger in the horizontal direction, which is the arrangement direction of the gate lines than the vertical direction, which is the arrangement direction of the data lines, as in the first embodiment. The sizes of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 are different from each other.

In this structure, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 display images. On the other hand, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 3D mode, one of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 displays an image while the other is in a black state.

Accordingly, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is driven in the 2D mode, one of the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 acts as a main subpixel displaying an image and the other operates as an auxiliary subpixel . In contrast, when the liquid crystal panel (LCD) operates in the 3D mode, one of the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 acts as a main sub-pixel for displaying an image and the other acts as an active black stripe .

In the case of the stereoscopic image display device according to the second embodiment, one side of the liquid crystal panel (LCD) is referred to as a first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2, And operates as an auxiliary sub-pixel. Here, the size of the first subpixel SP1 is larger than that of the second subpixel SP2. In the other side, the first sub-pixel SP1 operates as an auxiliary sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel SP2 operates as a main sub-pixel with respect to the central region CP of the liquid crystal panel (LCD). Here, the size of the second sub-pixel SP2 is larger than that of the first sub-pixel SP1. For example, the first sub-pixel SP1 of the red sub-pixel SPr located at one side of the central region CP operates as a main sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel SP2 operates as an auxiliary sub-pixel. The first sub-pixel SP1 of the red sub-pixel SPr located on the other side of the central region CP operates as an auxiliary sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel SP2 operates as a main sub-pixel.

The lower polarizer plate POL1 and the upper polarizer plate POL2 are attached to the TFT substrate of the liquid crystal panel (LCD) and the color filter substrate, respectively. The liquid crystal panel (LCD) thus configured is capable of displaying an image by the light provided from the backlight unit (BLU).

The backlight unit BLU is driven under the control of the image supply unit SBD or the timing control unit TCN to provide light to the liquid crystal panel LCD. The backlight unit BLU includes a light source for emitting light, a light guide plate for guiding the light emitted from the light source toward the liquid crystal panel (LCD), an optical member for diffusing and condensing the light emitted from the light guide plate, and the like.

The backlight unit (BLU) is composed of an edge type, a dual type, a quad type, and a direct type. In the edge type, a light source is arranged on one side of a liquid crystal panel (LCD), a dual type is a light source is arranged on both sides of a liquid crystal panel (LCD), and a quad type is a light source is arranged on all sides of a liquid crystal panel And the direct type is a type in which a light source is disposed below a liquid crystal panel (LCD).

The pattern retarder PRF displays a left-eye image and a right-eye image displayed on a liquid crystal panel (LCD) in a line-by-line manner and displays them in an interlace manner. To this end, the pattern retarder PRF separates the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel LCD by polarizing the odd line to the right circularly polarized light R and the even line to the left circularly polarized light L (or vice versa).

The pattern retarder (PRF) is disposed on a liquid crystal panel (LCD), which is formed in a film form. The pattern retarder (PRF) includes a black matrix (BM) arranged in the vertical direction and composed of black series. The black matrix BM is arranged in a plurality corresponding to the area between the first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 included in the sub-pixel. For example, one black matrix BM is arranged to correspond to an area between the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 included in the red subpixel SPr. That is, although the black matrix of the conventional pattern retarder is arranged in the horizontal direction, the black matrix BM of the pattern retarder PRF of the second embodiment is formed in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the black matrix BM of the pattern retarder PRF according to the second embodiment may have a mirror shape on one side and the other side with respect to the central region CP of the liquid crystal panel LCD. This is because the first subpixel SP1 and the second subpixel SP2 included in the subpixel are divided into one side and the other side with respect to the central region CP of the liquid crystal panel LCD, This is because the position changes.

In the above description, the backlight unit (BLU), the liquid crystal panel (LCD), and the pattern retarder (PRF) are integrated devices for displaying images. Therefore, in the description of the present invention, these are defined as an image panel (PNL).

The polarizing glasses (GLS) serve to separate the image displayed on the image panel (PNL) into a left eye image and a right eye image. The left eyeglasses LEFT of the polarizing glasses GLS transmit only the odd sub-pixels displayed through the pattern retarder PRF, so that the user sees only the left eye image. On the other hand, the right eyeglasses RIGHT of the polarizing glasses GLS transmit only the even-numbered sub-pixels displayed through the pattern retarder PRF, so that the user sees only the right eye image.

As described above, the embodiment of the present invention provides a stereoscopic image display device capable of free up / down viewing angles because the size of the sub pixels in the horizontal direction is larger than the size in the vertical direction. The stereoscopic image display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can increase the horizontal resolution in the 2D mode driving and increase the horizontal resolution more than twice as compared with the conventional structure.
