FIGS. 21 to 22B are diagrams for explaining a parallax barrier 3D image output by a vehicle user interface device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 21, the display unit 251 may include a barrier unit 2231 and an image output unit 2232.

The processor 270 can output the parallax barrier 3D image through the barrier unit 2231 and the video output unit 2232. [

The barrier unit 2231 is disposed between the video output unit 2232 and the user's sight line 2310.

The processor 270 implements a parallax barrier in the barrier portion 2231. The processor 270 outputs the disparity image corresponding to the parallax barrier to the video output unit 2232. [ At this time, a parallax barrier 3D image is displayed on the display unit 251.

The parallax barrier comprises at least one opaque blocking section 2231a and at least one transparent slit section 2231b.

Since the slit section 2231b is transparent, light can pass through it. Accordingly, the user can see the video displayed on the video output unit 2232 through the slit section 2231b.

The block section 2231a is opaque, so that light can not pass through it. Accordingly, the user can not see the portion of the video displayed on the video output unit 2232 due to the blocking section 2231a.

The disparity image is a combination of an R image and an L image. The R image is an image to be displayed in the left eye of the user. L image is an image to be displayed on the right side of the user.

The parallax barrier allows only the L image to be displayed in the user's left eye (L) and only the R image in the user's right eye (R). Accordingly, a parallax barrier 3D image having a three-dimensional effect can be seen by the user.

The combination of the R image and the L image depends on the type of the parallax barrier implemented by the barrier unit 2231. [

Types of parallax barriers include a vertical parallax barrier in which a block section and a slit section are formed in a vertical direction, a pin hole parallax barrier in which a slit section is a pinhole, a step parallax barrier in which resolution degradation is equalized horizontally and vertically, And time-sharing parallax barriers in which two barrier portions are arranged in an interlocking manner and a time-division method is applied.

The disparity image output to the image output unit 2232 is different because the combination form of the R image and the L image is changed according to the type of the parallax barrier.

22A and 22B, the operations of the barrier unit 2231 and the video display unit 2233 are different when a 2D image is output and when a parallax barrier 3D image is output.

Referring to FIG. 22A, when a 2D image is output to the display unit 251, the processor 270 controls all the sections of the barrier unit 2231 to be a slit section through which light passes. As a result, the entire barrier portion 2231 becomes transparent.

The processor 270 outputs the 2D image to the image display unit 2233. Accordingly, the user recognizes the image output to the display unit 251 as a 2D image.

Referring to FIG. 22B, when a parallax barrier 3D image is output to the display unit 251, the processor 270 controls the specific section of the barrier unit 2231 to be an opaque block period. As a result, the remaining section outside the block section becomes a slit section, and a parallax barrier is realized in the barrier section 2231. [

The processor 270 outputs the disparity image corresponding to the parallax barrier to the image display unit 2233. [ Accordingly, only the L video is displayed in the left eye of the user, and only the R video is displayed in the right eye. The user recognizes the image output to the display unit 251 as a 3D image.

In the structure of the display section 251, the barrier section 2231 may be disposed at the top of the video output section 2232.

23A to 23C are diagrams for explaining a barrier offset of a display unit adjusted by a vehicle user interface device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 23A, when the barrier offset is 0, it can be confirmed that the start point 2612 of the parallax barrier 2231a is the same as the start point 2611 of the disparity image 2232a.

Since the viewing position 2613 of the user is the center and the barrier offset is 0, only the R image can be seen in the right eye of the user, and only the L image can be seen in the left eye.

Since the parallax barrier and the disparity image start at the same point, in principle, the barrier offset is zero. However, in the manufacturing process of the display unit 251, a minute barrier offset in micrometer may occur when the barrier unit 2231 and the video output unit 2232 are bonded.

Since the parallax barrier 3D image is directly influenced by the relative arrangement of the parallax barrier appearing in the barrier portion 2231 and the parallax barrier image displayed in the video output portion 2232, the parallax barrier 3D image is directly influenced by the barrier offset, , When the barrier offset occurs, the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image may be deteriorated. A phenomenon in which a barrier offset occurs and a 3D sensation experienced by a user viewing a parallax barrier 3D image is degraded can be referred to as a ghosting phenomenon.

23B, it can be confirmed that when the barrier offset is 1, the interval between the start point 2612 of the parallax barrier 2231a and the start point 2611 of the disparity image 2232a is equal to the interval of one channel .

Since the user's viewing position 2613 is at the center but the barrier offset is 1, an R image and a little L image can be seen in the right eye and an L image and a little R image can be seen in the left eye. As a result, the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image may be deteriorated.

In this way, when the barrier offset is 1, the viewing position 2613 of the user must be moved to the right in order not to deteriorate the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image.

For example, if the distance between channels 1 is 8.44 um and the barrier offset is 1, the viewing position 2613 of the user must be moved to the right by about 5.416 mm, so that the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image may not deteriorate.

23C, it can be confirmed that when the barrier offset is 2, the interval between the start point 2612 of the parallax barrier 2231a and the start point 2611 of the disparity image 2232a is equal to the interval of two channels .

Since the user's viewing position 2613 is at the center but the barrier offset is 2, an R image and a slight l image can be seen in the right eye and an L image and a little R image can be seen in the left eye. In this case, the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image may be further lowered than when the barrier offset is 1.

For example, if the distance between channels 1 is 8.44 um and the barrier offset is 2, the viewing position 2613 of the user must be moved to the right by about 10.8 mm, so that the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image may not deteriorate.

The barrier offset is in the order of micrometers, but the viewing position of the user may be directly affected. The vehicle user interface device 200 may adjust the barrier offset of the display unit 251 in order to prevent the parallax barrier 3D image from being deteriorated in 3D effect due to the tolerance that may occur in the production process of the display unit 251 have.

24 is a diagram referred to explain depth levels of a parallax barrier 3D image adjusted by a vehicle user interface device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When a parallax barriers 3D image is output to the display unit 251, the 3D sensation experienced by the user may differ depending on the depth level of the parallax barrier 3D image.

If the depth level is relatively large, the image 2230a of the image recognized by the user may be larger than the image 2230b of the image recognized by the user when the depth level is relatively small.

That is, the user may feel that the objects appearing in the image are closer as the depth level is higher.

When a driver of the vehicle 100 views a 3D image with excessive stereoscopic effect, dizziness or motion sickness may be caused. The processor 251 can output a 3D image having an optimal stereoscopic effect by adjusting the depth level optimized for the user according to the input of the user.

Processor 270 may adjust the depth level of the parallax barrier 3D image. The processor 270 can adjust the depth level by adjusting the disparity image.

The depth level of the parallax barriers 3D image can indicate the degree of stereoscopic effect appearing in the parallax barriers 3D image. For example, the larger the depth level of the parallax barriers 3D image, the greater the stereoscopic effect the user can feel. The user may feel that objects appearing in the parallax barrier 3D image are closer as the depth level is higher. When the depth level of the parallax barriers 3D image is 0, a 2D image having no stereoscopic effect appears.

Each person may have different perception of binocular distance, visual acuity, astigmatism, difference in right and left visual acuity, and age. Accordingly, it is necessary to adjust the stereoscopic effect of the parallax barrier 3D image suitable for each person. If the user feels excessive stereoscopic feeling in the Parallax Barrier 3D image, he or she may experience dizziness or nausea.

In the disparity image, the depth level of the parallax barrier 3D image increases as the position of the object shown in the left eye of the user and the position of the object shown in the right eye of the user become more distant. In this case, a user viewing a parallax barriers 3D image can feel a relatively large stereoscopic effect. On the other hand, the closer the position of the object shown in the left eye of the user to the position of the object shown in the right eye, the lower the depth level. In the disparity image, when the position of the object shown on the left eye of the user is the same as the position of the object shown on the right eye, the depth level becomes zero.

That is, the processor 270 can adjust the depth level of the parallax barrier 3D image by adjusting the interval between the position of the object shown in the left eye of the user and the position of the object shown in the right eye in the disparity image.

25 is a diagram for describing an operation of varying the depth level for each region of the content displayed on the display unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 25, the processor 270 may display the first content in a first area 2510 of the display unit 251.

The processor 270 may display the second content in the second area 2520 of the display unit 251. [

The processor 270 may control the first content to have a first depth level. The processor 270 may output the first content to the first disparity level through the video output unit 2232. [ The first content output to the outside through the barrier unit 2231 may have a first depth level.

The processor 270 may control the second content to have a second depth level. The processor 270 may output the second content to the second disparity level through the video output unit 2232. [ And the second content output to the outside via the barrier unit 2231 may have a second depth level.

As illustrated in FIG. 25, the first depth level may be larger than the second depth level.
