- the shades of the opening and closing timings of the liquid crystal shutters in (b) and (c) represent the transmission amount of light passing through the liquid crystal shutter in luminance as shown in the lower part of FIG. When switching from closed to open, an intermediate transmission amount occurs.
- the left-eye image (frame f01) for stereoscopic viewing is input to the right eye, or conversely the right-eye image.
- a so-called crosstalk phenomenon occurs in which (frame f03) is input to the left eye, which may cause a reduction in stereoscopic effect.
- FIG. 5 is an example in which the transition period of switching of the open / close state of the liquid crystal shutter is reliably ended while an image for inputting to one of the left and right eyes is being displayed.
- FIG. 5 also shows the passage of time from left to right, as in FIG. 3 and FIG.
- A Switching sequence of display image frames (f01 to f04) displayed on the image display device
- b Timing of opening / closing the liquid crystal shutter for the left eye of the liquid crystal shutter glasses
- c Liquid crystal shutter for the right eye of the liquid crystal shutter glasses
- FIG. 5 illustrates switching of display images and timing synchronization of liquid crystal shutter opening and closing to enable observation of a good 3D image when using realistic liquid crystal shutter glasses that have a predetermined transition period for shutter opening and closing.
- FIG. 5 This is because the problem caused by the existence of the transition period of the open / close state of the liquid crystal shutter described above is taken into consideration.
- the start timing of closing the shutter of the liquid crystal shutter glasses is set earlier than the screen switching timing, and the transition from closing to opening is set later than the screen switching timing.
- the left and right shutters of the shutter glasses are completely closed during the period in which the frame f02 and the frame f04 including additional information are displayed as shown in FIG. . Further, the shutter is open only during the period in which the frame f01 intended to be input to the left eye is displayed, and the shutter is open during the period in which the frame f03 intended to be input to the right eye is displayed. The process is implemented in which only the right eye is open.

- b Timing of opening / closing the liquid crystal shutter for the left eye of the liquid crystal shutter glasses
- c Liquid crystal shutter for the right eye of the liquid crystal shutter glasses
- FIG. 6 also shows a technique for solving the problem caused by the existence of the transition period of the open / close state of the liquid crystal shutter, as in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the frame f01a and the frame f01b having the same left-eye image are displayed continuously for two frame display periods, and after that, “please wear glasses” for only one frame display period. The frame f02 including the additional information is displayed. Further, thereafter, the process of displaying the frames f03a and f03b having the same right-eye image continuously for two frame display periods and then displaying the frame f04 including additional information for one frame display period is repeated.
- the start timing for closing the shutter of the liquid crystal shutter glasses is set earlier than the screen switching timing, and the transition from closing to opening is delayed from the screen switching timing. It is set. Therefore, an observer wearing liquid crystal shutter glasses can observe only the right eye image with the right eye and only the left eye image with the left eye. Furthermore, in the process shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of images for right eye and left eye (two frames in this example), which are 3D image observation images, are displayed in succession, and the frame distribution is larger than frames having additional information. It is a set configuration.
- the configuration shown in FIG. 5 described above has a drawback in that the observer wearing the glasses feels darkness because the period during which one of the left and right binocular shutters is completely open is too short.
- the display period of the right-eye image and the left-eye image presenting the 3D image is longer than the display period of the additional information including subtitles.
- the degree of feeling the darkness of the image can be reduced. Further, jerkiness perception can be reduced when displaying a moving image.
- the sequence shown in FIG. 6 is performed, as described above, in order that the observer 11 who does not wear glasses does not perceive the flicker phenomenon, faster frame switching of the image display device is required.
- An observer wearing 3D image observation glasses perceives a 3D (stereoscopic) image

Abstract
Description
偏光方式(パッシブ・ステレオ方式)とは、偏光フィルタを用いて、特定の方向に振動する光のみを通過させて左右の眼用の画像を分離して左眼用と右眼用の画像を観察者の左右の眼に観察させる方式である。
パッシブ・ステレオ方式の問題は、画像表示装置に何らかの偏光の仕組みを持たなければならない点である。例えば、放送コンテンツを3D表示するテレビ装置は、走査線ごとに異なる偏光層を設定したディスプレイが利用されている。このような偏光層の設定は、普段見る2D映像の画質に悪影響を及ぼす可能性がある。
またこの場合、走査線ごとに左右の眼用の異なる画像を表示することが必要であり、結果として、ディスプレイの持つ縦方向の解像度の半分の解像度の画像しか提供できないという問題がある。
アクティブ・ステレオ方式では、画像表示装置において左右の各眼用の画像をフレーム毎に切り替えて表示することが必要となる。しかしこのような表示を行う場合、画像表示装置のリフレッシュレートが低いとフリッカ現象(画面のちらつき)を発生させる。フリッカが発生した状態で、長時間の鑑賞を行うと目や脳の疲れが激しく感じるという問題がある。
しかし、例えば、テレビで時分割方式(アクティブ・ステレオ方式)に従った放送コンテンツを提供する場合、ユーザに3D画像観察用の眼鏡の装着を促すことが要求される。例えば、3D映像コンテンツの開始時点において、視聴者に対して3D映像コンテンツの放送が開始されることを通知するなどの処理が必要である。

1.本発明の画像表示装置の実行する処理の概要についての説明
2.3D画像観察用眼鏡の装着メッセージなどの付加情報を眼鏡非装着者に提示する実施例(第1実施例)
3.3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡装着者にのみ快適な3D画像を提示可能とした実施例(第2実施例)
4,画像表示装置における画像フレームの表示期間を考慮した実施例(第3実施例)
5.本発明の画像表示装置と3D画像観察用眼鏡の構成例について
6.2次元画像情報に対応する処理例(第4実施例)
まず、本発明の画像表示装置の実行する処理の概要について説明する。本発明は、例えば時分割方式(アクティブ・ステレオ方式)の3D画像表示システムにおいて、表示装置に3D画像を表示するとともに、3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡の非装着者に対してメッセージなどの付加情報を提示することを可能としたものである。
すなわち、
3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡を装着した観察者は"見なくて済む"、
シャッタ式眼鏡を装着していない観察者は"見える"
このような付加情報の提示を実現する。
(第1利用例)
第1利用例(第1ユースケース)は、上記の付加情報を3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡の装着を促すメッセージとする利用例である。
すなわち、3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡を装着した視聴者は、眼鏡の装着を促すメッセージを観察することなく3D映像のみを観察することができる。一方、3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡を装着していない観察者は、3D画像観察用の眼鏡を装着することを促すメッセージを確認することが可能となる。
第2利用例(第2ユースケース)は、上記の付加情報を、見えると不快な情報や、見えない方が主となるコンテンツ映像を快適に鑑賞できるような情報とした利用例である。
3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡を装着した観察者は、不快な情報や見えない方が快適に鑑賞できるような情報を観察することなく3D画像を観察することができる。
一方、3D画像観察用のシャッタ式眼鏡を装着していない観察者は、例えば画面一面をグレー一色としたグレー画像や、ゆがみ画像やモザイク画像など、正規の3D画像の構成情報とは異なる不快な情報などが観察される。
まず、本発明の第1実施例として、上述した第1利用例(第1ユースケース)について説明する。第1実施例は、付加情報を3D画像観察用の眼鏡の装着を促すメッセージとした実施例である。
(a)3D画像観察用眼鏡非装着観察者の知覚イメージ
(b)3D画像観察用眼鏡装着観察者の知覚イメージ
これらの知覚イメージは、同一の画像表示装置に表示されている同一の映像を観察していて、それぞれの観察者によって知覚されるイメージである。
さらに、観察者11の知覚イメージの下部領域には、「メガネをかけてご覧下さい」という付加情報31である字幕が知覚されるが、観察者21はこの付加情報31である字幕を知覚しない。
図2は、フレームf01~f04が順に表示され、フレームf04の表示後、再度フレームf01に戻り、フレームf01~f04を繰り返し表示することを示している。
(b)は液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミングを示し、
(c)は液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミングを示している。
なお、左右両眼用の液晶シャッタは、理想的な開閉を想定しており、「開」状態から「閉」状態への切り替え時の開閉状態の遷移期間は0であるものとして示している。
1つ目は、画像のちらつき感を感ずるいわゆるフリッカ現象を知覚してしまうという問題である。各表示画像、および液晶シャッタの開状態と閉状態の維持期間が一定よりも長い場合、つまり、フレームの切り替えが一定よりも低速である場合、特に眼鏡を装着しない観察者11は画像のちらつき感を感ずる。これがフリッカ現象をである。このフリッカ現象を低減させるためには表示フレームの切り替え、および、液晶シャッタの開閉の切り替えをある一定値よりも高速にする必要がある。
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
これらを示している。
図5は、左右の両眼に一方に入力するための画像を表示している間に、液晶シャッタの開閉状態の切り替えの遷移期間を確実に終了させる例である。
図5も図3、図4と同様、左から右に時間経過を示し、
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
これらを示している。
この問題を解決する処理例について図6を参照して説明する。
図6も図3~図5と同様、左から右に時間経過を示し、
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
これらを示している。
具体的には、図6に示すように、同一の左眼用画像を持つフレームf01a、フレームf01bを、2フレーム表示期間続けて表示し、その後1フレーム表示期間のみ「メガネをかけてご覧下さい」という付加情報を含むフレームf02を表示する。さらに、その後、同一の右眼用画像を持つフレームf03a、フレームf03bを2フレーム表示期間続けて表示し、その後、付加情報を含むフレームf04を1フレーム表示期間、表示するという処理を繰り返す。
さらに、図6に示す処理では、3D画像観察用画像である右眼用画像と左眼用画像を複数(本例では2フレーム)連続して表示し、付加情報を持つフレームよりフレーム配分を多く設定した構成である。
ただし、図6に示すシーケンスを行う場合でも、先述の通り、眼鏡を装着しない観察者11がフリッカ現象を知覚しないためには、画像表示装置のより高速なフレーム切り替えが求められる。
次に、本発明の第2実施例として、上述した第2利用例(第2ユースケース)について説明する。第2実施例は、付加情報を3D画像の正常な観察を妨げる情報とした例である。
3D画像観察用眼鏡を装着した観察者には、3D(立体)映像が知覚され、3D画像観察用眼鏡の非装着者には、3D画像の正常な観察を妨げる情報(付加情報)が観察される。以下では、具体例として、3D画像観察用眼鏡の非装着者には、一面グレーの画像が観察される例について説明する。
(a)3D画像観察用眼鏡非装着観察者の知覚イメージ
(b)3D画像観察用眼鏡装着観察者の知覚イメージ
これらの知覚イメージは、同一の画像表示装置30のディスプレイに表示されている同一の映像を観察していて、それぞれの観察者によって知覚されるイメージである。
図8は、フレームf01~f04が順に表示され、フレームf04の表示後、再度フレームf01に戻り、フレームf01~f04を繰り返し表示することを示している。
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
これらを示している。
なお、左右両眼用の液晶シャッタは、理想的な開閉を想定しており、「開」状態から「閉」状態への切り替え時の開閉状態の遷移期間は0であるものとして示している。
フリッカの発生、
シャッタ開閉状態切り替えにおける遷移期間、
これらの問題である。
図10は、左右の両眼に一方に入力するための画像を表示している間に、液晶シャッタの開閉状態の切り替えの遷移期間を確実に終了させる例である。
図10も図9と同様、左から右に時間経過を示し、
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
これらを示している。
前述した実施例1、実施例2では、画像表示装置におけるフレーム表示が瞬時に切り替わるものとして説明した。すなわち、フレーム表示切り替え期間について考慮していない。以下では、実施例3として、画像表示装置の1フレーム画像が画像表示装置の表示部左上端から右下端まで順次走査されて表示され、所定のフレーム表示切り替え期間(Tf)を考慮した実施例について説明する。
(a)画像表示装置に表示する表示画像フレーム(f01~f04)の切り替えシーケンス
(b)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の左眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング
(c)液晶シャッタ眼鏡の右眼用の液晶シャッタの開閉のタイミング

次に、図16以下を参照して画像表示装置と3D画像観察用眼鏡の構成例について説明する。

制御信号=01:左眼シャッタを開、右眼シャッタを閉
制御信号=10:左眼シャッタを閉、右眼シャッタを開
制御信号=11:左眼シャッタを開、右眼シャッタを開
この制御シーケンスによって、3D画像観察用眼鏡を装着した観察者は、3D画像を構成する左眼用画像を左眼で観察し、右眼用画像を右眼で観察することになり、立体画像を知覚することができる。

一方、3D画像観察用眼鏡を装着しない観察者は、通常の2次元画像フレームであるフレームf01,f03のみならず、反転画像フレームであるf02,f04についても両眼で観察する。すなわちフレームf01~f04を連続して両眼で観察することになる。
