Description

Stereoscopic Display Device {STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device.

The stereoscopic image display apparatus is divided into a binocular parallax technique and an autostereoscopic technique.

In the spectacle method, the polarization of the left and right parallax images is displayed on the direct view display device or the projector or displayed in a time division method. The glasses method implements a stereoscopic image using polarized glasses or liquid crystal shutter glasses.

Referring to FIG. 1, the higher the surface temperature of the display panel, the lower the 3D crosstalk ratio at all gray levels. Although the surface temperature of the display panel is only 27 ° C. during initial driving, the surface temperature of the display panel rises to about 33 ° C. after 2 hours of aging. In addition, since the surface temperature of the display panel rises to about 38 ° C at the time of set tightening, the fluctuation range of the temperature is further increased.

As shown in FIG. 1, since the response characteristics of the liquid crystal change according to the surface temperature of the display panel, the 3D crosstalk ratio varies according to the surface temperature of the display panel. However, the backlight unit is driven to a fixed set value without considering the change in the surface temperature of the display panel. In this case, since the backlight unit is driven irrespective of the change in the response characteristic of the liquid crystal of the display panel, 3D crosstalk may occur.
