Description

DESCRIPTION
A STEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY APPARATUS
The invention relates to a stereoscopic display apparatus comprising means for producing a display having picture elements in a first plane and optical directory means comprising at least one optical directory liquid crystal element, the optical directory liquid crystal means overlying the picture elements in the first plane for directing the outputs of the picture elements in mutually different angular directions, the optical liquid crystal directory means being switchable between two different states by means of driving means.
Such stereoscopic display apparatuses are increasingly used both in hand held applications like telephones and in (TV) monitors, where a multiple view is used.
A stereoscopic display apparatus of the kind mentioned above is described in US 6.064.424, which shows an active matrix liquid crystal display panel having picture elements arranged in groups of picture elements and a lenticular screen having (cylindrical) lenticular elements, or lenticulars, overlying the display panel.
Each of the lenticular elements, which are based on a liquid crystal device, covers several picture elements. In one state, e.g. in the case no voltage is applied across the material, for one polarization direction a difference in index of refraction exists between the liquid crystal material and the material of the lenticular (lens structure).
Consequently the light of each picture element is sent into different well- defined directions depending. In this way in a typical example nine independent views are created corresponding to nine different viewing angles.
A viewer receives different views in each eye and, when using the proper image content, observes a three-dimensional image. If a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal material of the lenticular element, the liquid crystal molecules orient themselves differently and there is no difference in index of refraction. Consequently, there is no lens effect.
So, by changing the voltage, switching between a two-dimensional view (2D -mode) and a three-dimensional view (3D mode) is possible.
It appears however that, in practice, the switching speed e.g. from the 3D mode to the 2D mode is too low for practical purposes.
The invention has as one of its purposes to overcome this problem. To this end a device according to the invention has driving means, which in at least one switching direction driving provide the optical liquid crystal directory means with an overdrive voltage before applying to the optical liquid crystal directory means a stationary hold voltage.
The invention is based on the insight that increasing the voltage does in fact lead to an increased switching speed, but the at the same time introduced increased power consumption can be greatly overcome by switching back to a kind of hold- voltage. In fact the non-linearity of the capacity of the switchable liquid crystal material is used to obtain faster switching behavior (so-called "capacitive overdrive"). In this respect it should be noted that this "capacitive overdrive" is known per se from US 5.495265. In this application switching back to a kind of hold- voltage is not possible however, since this is a display application in which, while preparing the next overdrive pulse it is assumed that the former drive voltage still is present on the capacitance representing the pixel. So this "switching back to a kind of hold- voltage" only is possible in devices using two bistable states.
These and other aspects of the invention are apparent from and will be elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter. In the drawings: Figure 1 schematically shows a part of a device according to the invention,
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the part of the device of Figure 1 , while Figure 3 shows a diagrammatical representation of the device of Figure 1 and
Figure 4 show an example of a driving pattern.
The Figures are diagrammatic and not to scale; corresponding components are generally denoted by the same reference numerals.
Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a part of a device 1 according to the invention having a display device 5 with laterally separated picture elements 2 in a first plane 3. The device 1 has optical directory means, in this example a group of lenses (lenticulars) 4, each of which is associated with a group of picture elements 2. The lenses 4 cover the picture elements 2 in the first plane 3 for directing the outputs of the picture elements in mutually different angular directions, the first plane lying substantially out of the main focus plane of the lenses 4. In this example the lenses are provided on a separate plate 5 in front of the display, with the curved side facing the display. The angular directions are indicated by means of arrows 6.
A possible realization of such a lens 4 is shown in Figure 2. A layer of liquid crystal material 10 is provided between two glass substrates 7. The glass substrates 7 comprise electrodes 8. On one glass plate a lens structure has been made for instance by means of replication technique. On this lens structure and also on the opposite glass substrate an orientation layer has been provided to orient the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal material 10. In case there is no potential difference applied across the liquid crystal material of the lens 4 via the electrodes 8, there is (for one polarization direction) a difference in the index of refraction between the liquid crystal material and the material of the lens structure.
The result is that the structure acts as a lens, or a lens array in case more lenses 4 are provided (a lenticular screen). If a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal material, the liquid crystal molecules orient themselves differently and there is no difference in the index of refraction. Consequently, there is no lens effect. So, by introducing the possibility of changing the voltage, a lens is obtained, which is switchable between a two-dimensional view (2D -mode) and a three-dimensional view (3D mode).
To avoid charging of the liquid crystal material AC driving of the switchable lenses is preferred. In a typical application it is sufficient to have an AC voltage of 1OVoIt at a frequency of 1 kHz to obtain switching between the two-dimensional view (2D -mode) and a three-dimensional view (3D mode). However, at 1OVoIt the initial switching from a 3D mode to a 2D mode is performed relatively slowly. Increasing the voltage goes with an increased switching speed, but at the same time with an increased power consumption. In particular in mobile applications this power consumption is a severe drawback. According to the invention this higher voltage is only applied for a short instance and afterwards the AC voltage is reduced. In fact the non-linearity of the capacity of the switchable lenses 4 is used to obtain such a switching behavior.
An electrical circuit that performs this behavior is shown in Figure 3. the impedance 22 can be tuned such that for the capacity C, corresponding to the 3D mode of the lens circuit 21 , the circuit is close to it's resonant frequency. The ratio between the applied voltage Vn and the voltage across the cell V^n is given by:
Figure imgf000005_0001
in which ω is the driving frequency.
Now if Z is chosen such that Z equals 1/( ωC) , C being a capacity that belongs for instance to 1VoIt driving voltage the voltage swing Vceιι across the cell is large (e.g. an AC voyage Vi with Vi = 30 V (or higher), see Figure 4).
Due to the large voltage swing the 3D mode changes into the 2D mode rapidly and the capacity changes. Then the circuit is not driven close to it's resonant frequency any longer and consequently the voltage swing across the cell is more moderate (e.g. an AC voyage V2 with V2 = 10 V, see Figure 4).
The switching speed from the 2D to 3D mode is not determined by the applied voltage but by the mechanical tension in the molecules. This tension is, among others, determined by cell gap and twist angle. In switching from the
3D mode to the 2D mode the cell may be short-circuited to allow the cell to discharge.
The invention is not restricted to the examples shown. For instance other constructions of the lenses 4 are possible. By changing the liquid crystal material it is possible to have a lens in which for the 3D mode a voltage needs to be applied, while for the 2D mode the cell is short-circuited. Also at lower voltages of \Λ (e.g. 20 V) the 3D mode changes into the 2D mode rapidly.
Instead of liquid crystal display picture elements, electrophoretic picture elements, electro-wetting picture elements may be used alternatively.
The invention resides in each and every novel characteristic feature and each and every combination of features. Reference numerals in the claims do not limit the protective scope of these claims. The use of the verb "to comprise" and its conjugations does not exclude the presence of elements other than those stated in the claims. The use of the article "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements.
