Description
The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device and a method using binocular parallax, and more particularly, the observer can change the display position of the stereoscopic image displayed on the display unit according to the positional change of the observer. The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display apparatus using a display pixel change and to a stereoscopic image display method for observing continuous and natural stereoscopic images without distortion.
In general, a binocular parallax type stereoscopic image display device uses a non-auto stereo scope method for wearing a special glasses-like device to observe a stereoscopic image, and an autostereoscopic method for observing a stereoscopic image with the naked eye. scope method).
Representative methods for implementing stereoscopic images using binocular disparity in autostereoscopic methods include a method using a lenticular lens sheet and a parallax barrier method.
In the method using the lenticular lens sheet, the lenticular lens sheet is attached to the front surface of the terminal display unit, and the image is incident to the left and right eyes by using the angular angle of the lenticular lens. However, this method causes a phenomenon in which the image quality is deteriorated because the 2D image cannot be displayed as it is due to the lens refraction characteristics of the lenticular lens sheet when observing a general 2D image constituting most contents. Therefore, such a method generates a distortion phenomenon that requires precision or does not accurately display image information such as numbers and letters.
The parallax barrier method uses a slit that forms an opaque band and a transparent band at regular intervals without using a curvature of the lens itself to observe a three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The image is separated into the left and right eyes by controlling the incident angle or the exit angle of the light.
Recently, an opaque band is formed where an electrical signal is input, and a transparent band is formed where an electric signal is not input. A liquid crystal panel is installed between the display unit and the observer. Forming and varying methods have been introduced and used.
1 is a diagram illustrating a stereoscopic image display method using a conventional parallax barrier method.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the conventional parallax barrier method, the right eye image and the left eye image are alternately repeatedly displayed in order from the left pixel RGB of the display unit. In addition, a liquid crystal panel (LCD filter) is formed between the display unit and the observer's eye by alternately repeating the transparent and opaque bands of the vertical line according to the electric signal. The stereoscopic image is displayed by allowing only the right eye image to be incident.
In this case, in FIG. 1, "left" and "right" represent a left eye image and a right eye image incident on an observer's left eye and right eye through display pixels, and each display pixel includes R (Red) and G (Green). ), B (Blue) consists of three subpixels.
The parallax barrier method using the liquid crystal panel has the advantage that the entire liquid crystal panel is transparent by completely blocking the electrical signal to the liquid crystal panel when the stereoscopic image is not observed, and thus the general 2D image can be observed without deterioration. have.
However, in the conventional stereoscopic image display apparatus of FIG. 1, since the position of the slit is fixed and the image information is incident to the left and right eyes by simply using binocular disparity, the stereoscopic image is limited to a specific angle and position. There is a disadvantage that can be observed.
For example, when the position of the observer changes from side to side, the natural stereoscopic image region cannot be maintained and only the left eye image or the right eye image is visible, or the left eye image and the right eye image are overlapped, and thus the image quality is distorted or the stereoscopic image is reversed.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to change the display position of the left and right images according to the position of the observer to enable the observer to observe the stereoscopic image without distortion, regardless of the position change of the observer.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stereoscopic image display device comprising: an observer position detecting unit detecting a position change of an observer observing the stereoscopic image and outputting an observer position signal corresponding to the position change; An image controller configured to generate and output a control signal for varying a display position of the stereoscopic image displayed on the display unit according to the observer position signal; And an image reproduction unit for outputting an image reproduction signal for displaying the stereoscopic image to the display unit according to the control signal.
The stereoscopic image display method of the present invention includes a first step of detecting a change in the position of an observer who observes the stereoscopic image; And a second step of varying a display position of the stereoscopic image on the display unit on which the stereoscopic image is displayed according to a change in the position of the observer.
Preferably, the stereoscopic image display device and the stereoscopic image display method of the present invention vary the display position of the stereoscopic image in units of R, G, and B subpixels of the display unit.
The stereoscopic image display device of the present invention changes the display position of the left eye image and the right eye image of the stereoscopic image in units of subpixels as the position of the observer is changed from side to side, so that the observer is continuous and natural stereoscopic without distortion even if the observer's position changes. Allows you to observe the image.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail preferred embodiments of the present invention.
In order to display a stereoscopic image through a flat panel display screen, binocular, trinocular, and four-eye multi-dimensional stereoscopic image information may be alternately arranged on the display pixels. Among these methods, using binocular vision is the most economical. Can be. Therefore, in the following embodiment, for convenience of description, a case of a binocular with a stereoscopic image displayed as a left eye image and a right eye image will be described.

For example, the
When the position of the observer changes by more than a predetermined level based on the observer position signal from the observer position detector 40 (step 220), the
For example, when the observer's eye, which normally observes the stereoscopic image, moves from the L and R positions to the L1 and R1 positions as shown in FIG. 4A, the observer's left eye and right eye are mixed with the left eye image and the right eye image. Can not observe the stereoscopic image properly. That is, distortion of the stereoscopic image is generated. Therefore, in order to eliminate such distortion, the position of the slit formed in the
In this case, the display position change amount of the left eye image and the right eye image is the size of the slit formed by the designer of the stereoscopic
The
In the present invention, a method of changing the display position of the left eye image and the right eye image in units of subpixels of R, G, and B will be described in more detail.
FIG. 4 is a view for explaining how the position of the observer is slightly changed (moved) to shift the display positions of the left eye image and the right eye image by 2 subpixels.
With the size of the slit formed in the three-
However, in this situation, when the observer's eye moves from the L and R positions to the L1 and R1 positions, in the conventional stereoscopic image display apparatus in which the slit is fixed, the left eye and the observer's left eye are shown in FIG. The left eye image and the right eye image of the stereoscopic image are overlapped and incident on the right eye. That is, a part of the left eye image and a part of the right eye image are incident on the left eye and the right eye of the observer, respectively, so that the observer cannot see the normal stereoscopic image.
In this case, in the conventional stereoscopic image display apparatus, the positions of the slits are appropriately shifted by varying the positions of the transparent and opaque bands formed on the stereoscopic panel. By varying the display position of the image and the right eye image, the effect is the same as changing the slits of the stereoscopic panel. In this case, the display position change (movement) of the left eye image and the right eye image may be performed in units of display pixels, but it is preferably made in units of R, G, and B subpixels constituting the display pixels for a more accurate position change.
Each display pixel of the
FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the left eye image and the right eye image in FIG. 4A are moved in subpixel units based on the above-described logic.
4B is compared with FIG. 4A, the left eye image and the right eye image in FIG. 4B are shifted left by 2 subpixels compared to the left eye image and the right eye image in FIG. 4A, and correspond to the left eye image and the right eye image in FIG. 4B. It can be seen that the subpixels are located in the order of GBR rather than in the order of RGB as shown in FIG. 4A (see the circled circle in FIGS. 4A and 4B).
For example, the
In FIG. 4, only the case where the stereoscopic image is shifted to the left is illustrated. However, when the display pixels R N , G N , and B N which are in the N th are to be moved to the right by 2 sub pixels, R N and G are similarly used. The video reproduction signal applied to the N and B N subpixels may be applied to the subpixels of B N , R N + 1 and G N +1 .
In the state of FIG. 4, when the position of the observer is further changed to move the display position of the stereoscopic image by one subpixel to the left, the position where the left and right images are displayed is changed as shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 5A illustrates a case in which the left eye image is incident to the right eye and the right eye image is incident to the left eye when the position of the observer is changed in the past. FIG. 5B is a left eye image and a right eye to solve the problem of FIG. 5A. The image has been moved by 3 subpixels to the left.
That is, in the conventional stereoscopic image display device, the first left eye image is still displayed on the
