Specifically, the polarizing glasses method is a method of changing the polarization direction of the left and right parallax images displayed on the flat panel display device, and the shutter glasses method is a method of time-divisionally displaying the left and right parallax images displayed on the flat panel display device.
The flat panel display device of the polarizing glasses method further includes a polarizing layer including a patterned retarder. To serve.
However, the polarized glasses method has a problem in that visibility of 3D images is poor due to 3D crosstalk generated at upper and lower viewing angle positions. In the 3D crosstalk, the left eye image passes through the right eye patterned retarder area as well as the left eye patterned retarder area at the upper / lower viewing angle position, and the right eye image R as well as the left eye patterned retarder area as well. Occurs because it passes through the area.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, a method of increasing the upper and lower viewing angles and increasing the visibility of the 3D image by forming a black stripe (BS) region on the display panel has been proposed.
