Description
- This application is a Divisional of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/117,257, filed Apr. 28, 2005 and entitled “2D/3D DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR FORMING 3D IMAGE,” incorporated herein by reference.
- The invention relates to a flat panel display and in particular to a flat panel display capable of providing 2D and 3D images.
- In a conventional stereoscopic or three-dimensional (3D) display, users are required to wear a device, such as a shutter or polarization glasses, that ensure left and right views are seen by the correct eye. Such a stereoscopic display, however, suffers from the drawback that the viewers must wear, or be very close to, the device to separate left and right eye views.
- Recently, many stereoscopic display designs, such as lenticular and parallax designs have been proposed which do not require use of shutter or polarization glasses. In these stereoscopic display devices, specific optical devices such as lenticular lens or parallax barriers are generally disposed on the front or rear sides of image display devices. For example, a simple stereoscopic image display device can be easily constituted by a combination of such parallax barriers and a two-dimensional (2D) display device, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). Half the pixels of the display device radiate light only in directions seen by the left eye and half the pixels in directions seen by the right eye through the parallax barrier, creating twin-view stereoscopic images. Conventionally, the parallax barrier comprises a retarder which suffers from the drawback of difficult alignment between the LCD and the parallax barrier.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,157,424 discloses a 2D/3D image display, in which two LCDs are employed. One of the LCDs provides image information and the other parallax barrier image patterns. LCDS, however, suffer from the drawback of higher power consumption due to back light device.
- A 2D/3D display and methods for forming a 3D image are provided. An embodiment of a 2D/3D display comprises a liquid crystal display device and a self-emissive display device. The liquid crystal display device provides a first image. The self-emissive display device is disposed on the rear of the liquid crystal display device, providing a backlight source and a second image. One of the first and second images comprises a parallax barrier pattern for forming a 3D image, and the other is a 2D image.
- An embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image comprising forming a 2D image by a liquid crystal display device is provided. An image with a parallax barrier pattern is formed behind the 2D image by a self-emissive display device, such that a viewer sees a 3D image from the liquid crystal display device side by transferring the 2D image through the parallax barrier pattern.
- Additionally, an embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image comprising forming a 2D image by a self-emissive display device is provided. An image with a parallax barrier pattern is formed in front of the 2D image by a liquid crystal display device, such that a viewer sees a 3D image from the liquid crystal display device side by transferring the 2D image through the parallax barrier pattern.
- A 2D/3D display and methods for forming a 3D image will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings, given by way of illustration only and thus not intended to be limitative of the invention.

FIGS. 1 a and 2 a illustrate embodiments of 2D/3D display 100. Thedisplay 100 comprises a self-emissive display device 102, a liquidcrystal display device 104, adetector device 108, and acontrol device 110. The liquidcrystal display device 104 provides a first image, such as a 2D image.

In this embodiment, the self-emissive display device 102 may comprise a plasma display device, an organic light-emitting device, or other electroluminescent display device. The first or second image presented ondisplay 100 in a 2D mode may comprise a clear pattern. For example, the self-emissive display device 102 only serves as a backlight source without providing any image information (that is, a clear pattern). The 2D image information is provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104. Conversely, the 2D image information may be provided by the self-emissive display device 102, while the liquidcrystal display device 104 does not display any image information. Moreover, the first or second image may provide a parallax pattern formed by a 2D image when the display in a 3D mode. For example, the parallax barrier pattern may be provided by the self-emissive display device 102. The 2D image information provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104 may be transformed into the 3D image information through the parallax barrier pattern. Conversely, the parallax barrier pattern may be provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104. The 2D image information provided by the self-emissive display device 102 may also be transformed into the 3D image information through the parallax barrier pattern. In this case, the liquidcrystal display device 104 may not require color filters. - The
detector device 108 is coupled to the liquidcrystal display device 104, measuring a distance between a viewer and thedisplay 100. Moreover, thecontrol device 110 is coupled to the display device providing the parallax barrier pattern, such as the self-emissive display device 102 (as shown inFIG. 1 a) or the liquid crystal display device (as shown inFIG. 2 a), thereby adjusting the parallax barrier pattern in the 3D mode according to the distance between a viewer and thedisplay 100. -
FIG. 1 b illustrates an embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image. A2D image 103 is provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104. Another 2D image with a parallax barrier pattern is provided by the self-emissive display device 102 disposed on the rear of the liquidcrystal display device 104, such that a3D image 103 is observed by a viewer from the liquidcrystal display device 104 side by transferring the2D image 103 through theparallax barrier pattern 101. -
FIGS. 3 a and 3 b illustrate embodiments ofparallax barrier patterns 101. InFIG. 3 a, theparallax barrier pattern 101 comprises a plurality ofdark strips 101 a parallel to each other. InFIG. 3 b, theparallax barrier pattern 101 comprises a plurality ofdark strips 101 a perpendicular to each other. The2D image 103 may fully overlap theparallax barrier pattern 101, as shown inFIG. 5 a, thereby completely transforming the2D image 103 provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104 into a 3D image. -
FIG. 1 c illustrates another embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image. In this embodiment, the difference fromFIG. 1 b is that the 2D image provided by the self-emissive display device 102 comprises a clear pattern and at least one parallax barrier pattern, such that the2D image 103 in front of the parallax barrier pattern is transferred into the 3D image and that in front of the clear pattern is maintained without being transferred, as it is observed by a viewer from the liquidcrystal display device 104 side. That is, thedisplay 100 may simultaneously display 2D and 3D images. In this embodiment, the parallax barrier pattern partially overlaps the2D image 103. Moreover, the number and size of the parallax barrier pattern and the position thereof with respect to the2D image 103 can be adjusted according to demands, as shown inFIG. 5 b. -
FIG. 2 b illustrates yet another embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image. In this embodiment, the difference fromFIG. 1 b is that the2D image 103 is provided by the self-emissive display device 102 and the 2D image with theparallax barrier pattern 101 provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104 in front of the self-emissive display device 102, such that the2D image 103 provided by the self-emissive display device 102 is transferred into the 3D image through theparallax barrier pattern 101, as it is observed by a viewer from the liquidcrystal display device 104 side. -
FIG. 2 c illustrates further another embodiment of a method for forming a 3D image. In this embodiment, the difference fromFIG. 2 b is that the 2D image provided by the liquidcrystal display device 104 comprises a clear pattern and at least one parallax barrier pattern, such that the2D image 103 behind the parallax barrier pattern is transformed into the 3D image and the2D image 103 behind the clear pattern is maintained without being transferred, as it is observed by a viewer from the liquidcrystal display device 104 side. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the relative positions of aviewer 10 and adisplay 100. In the embodiments ofFIGS. 1 b, 1 c, 2 b, and 2 c, a perpendicular distance L and a parallel distance of theviewer 10 to the center of thedisplay 100 can further be measured. Next, in the parallax barrier pattern 101 (as shown inFIG. 3 a or 3 b), the width of eachdark strip 101 a and the space therebetween can be adjusted according to the perpendicular distance L. Moreover, the shift of thedark strips 101 a in a perpendicular direction can be adjusted according to the parallel distance d. - According to the 2D/3D display of the invention, since the self-emissive display device does not require a backlight device, power consumption can be reduced. Moreover, since the parallax barrier pattern is provided by the self-emissive display device or the liquid crystal display device, the 2D and/or 3D images can be provided. Furthermore, the relative positions between the 2D and 3D images can be randomly changed by adjusting the number, size, and position of the parallax barrier pattern.
- While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
