Abstract

A parallax barrier according to the present invention includes a plurality of first barrier sections and a plurality of second barrier sections. A plurality of first light reduction sections are constituted of a plurality of regions which are repeatedly arranged, so as to be staggered by a prescribed length in one horizontal direction, in a direction which is in-plane orthogonal to a parallax direction. The plurality of first light reduction sections and a plurality of second light reduction sections allow image light to pass therethrough at a transmission factor which is less than a first value. A plurality of first light transmission sections and a plurality of second light transmission sections are divided by the plurality of first light reduction sections. The plurality of first light transmission sections allows the image light to pass therethrough at a transmission factor greater than or equal to a second value. The second light reduction sections are symmetrical to the first light reduction sections with respect to the boundary line between the first barrier sections and the second barrier sections. The plurality of second light transmission sections are delineated by the plurality of second light reduction sections.

 まず、本開示のパララックスバリアが基礎とする構成について説明する。 First, the configuration on which the parallax barrier of the present disclosure is based will be described.
 本開示のパララックスバリアが基礎とする構成として、3次元表示装置において、表示パネルが表示する画像の一部を利用者の一方の眼に視認させ、残りの一部を他方の眼に視認させるために、パララックスバリアが用いられている。例えば、パララックスバリアは、鉛直方向において、水平方向の一方の方向にずれて配列されているマスク部分と、当該マスク部分によって画定される開口部分とによって構成されている。 As a configuration based on the parallax barrier of the present disclosure, in a three-dimensional display device, a part of the image displayed by the display panel is made visible to one eye of the user, and the other part is made to be visually recognized by the other eye. Therefore, a parallax barrier is used. For example, the paralux barrier is composed of a mask portion arranged so as to be displaced in one horizontal direction in the vertical direction, and an opening portion defined by the mask portion.
 利用者の各眼に適切な視差画像を視認させるために、利用者の眼の位置及び姿勢に応じて表示パネルの各サブピクセルに表示させる画像の種別を左眼画像と右眼画像との間で切り替える必要がある。左眼画像および右眼画像は、それぞれ左眼及び右眼に視認させるための画像である。上述した本開示のパララックスバリアが基礎とするバララックスバリアを用いる3次元表示装置では、利用者の眼がロール方向に回転したときに、回転の角度が同じであっても、回転の方向に応じて、表示パネルの各サブピクセルに表示させる画像の種別を制御しなければならない。すなわち、3次元表示装置は、利用者の頭部の回転に応じて画像の種別を制御しなければならず、処理負荷が高くなることがあった。 In order to make each user's eye visually recognize an appropriate parallax image, the type of image to be displayed in each subpixel of the display panel according to the position and orientation of the user's eye is between the left eye image and the right eye image. Need to switch with. The left eye image and the right eye image are images for being visually recognized by the left eye and the right eye, respectively. In the three-dimensional display device using the ballarax barrier based on the paralux barrier of the present disclosure described above, when the user's eye is rotated in the roll direction, even if the rotation angle is the same, the rotation direction is changed. Correspondingly, the type of image displayed in each subpixel of the display panel must be controlled. That is, the three-dimensional display device has to control the type of image according to the rotation of the user's head, which may increase the processing load.
 本開示は、利用者の頭部のロール方向の回転に伴って発生するクロストークを低減させることができるパララックスバリア、3次元表示装置、3次元表示システム、ヘッドアップディスプレイ、および移動体を提供する。 The present disclosure provides a paralux barrier, a three-dimensional display device, a three-dimensional display system, a head-up display, and a moving body capable of reducing crosstalk generated by rotation of the user's head in the roll direction.

The type of image is a type indicating whether it is a left-eye image or a right-eye image. The plurality of subpixels P constituting the subpixel group Pg of 1 can be displayed by switching between the left eye image and the right eye image. For example, the images displayed on the plurality of subpixels P1 in all the subpixel group Pg are switched at the same timing.

For example, the timing at which the plurality of subpixels P1 switch between the left eye image and the right eye image may be the same as or different from the timing at which the plurality of subpixels P2 switch between the left eye image and the right eye image. May be good. The timing at which the other two plurality of subpixels P having different identification information from each other switch between the left eye image and the right eye image may be the same or may be different.

Is included. In this way, when the left eye is displaced from the position "0" in the horizontal direction by k × E / (2 × n) (k × E / 8 in this example), the left visible region 5a is left visible. A plurality of subpixels P arranged so as to be offset by k from the plurality of subpixels P included in the region 5aL0 are included.
 右可視領域5aRは、類似して、右眼の位置に応じて定まる。右眼が位置「4」から水平方向にk×E/(2×n)(本例ではk×E/8)ずれた位置にある場合の右可視領域5aには、右可視領域5aR0に含まれる複数のサブピクセルPからk個分ずれて配置されている複数のサブピクセルPが含まれる。 The right visible region 5aR is similarly determined according to the position of the right eye. The right visible region 5a when the right eye is displaced horizontally by k × E / (2 × n) (k × E / 8 in this example) from the position “4” is included in the right visible region 5aR0. A plurality of subpixels P arranged so as to be offset by k from the plurality of subpixels P are included.
 次に、利用者の顔がロール方向に傾いた場合の可視領域5aについて説明する。利用者の顔がロール方向に傾くと、図7に示すように、利用者の左眼が水平方向および鉛直方向に変位する。同じく、利用者の右眼が水平方向および鉛直方向に変位する。ロール方向の傾きは、奥行方向(z軸方向)の位置を変化させずに、奥行方向を法線方向とする平面(xy平面)内の傾きである。 Next, the visible region 5a when the user's face is tilted in the roll direction will be described. When the user's face is tilted in the roll direction, the user's left eye is displaced in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction as shown in FIG. Similarly, the user's right eye is displaced horizontally and vertically. The inclination in the roll direction is an inclination in a plane (xy plane) whose normal direction is the depth direction without changing the position in the depth direction (z-axis direction).
 以降の説明で、パララックスバリア6から適視距離Dにあり、眼間方向が水平方向となるような利用者の眼の位置を標準位置とする。左眼の標準位置を左標準位置EL0、右眼の標準位置を右標準位置ER0という。両眼の中心(眼間中心)を軸にして、顔がロール方向のうちの所定方向(例えば、反時計回りの方向)に回転することによって変位した左眼および右眼の位置をそれぞれ左変位位置EL1および右変位位置ER1という。眼間中心を軸にして顔が所定方向とは反対方向(例えば、時計回りの方向)に回転することによって変位した左眼および右眼の位置を左変位位置EL2および右変位位置ER2という。 In the following explanation, the position of the user's eyes, which is at an appropriate viewing distance D from the parallax barrier 6 and whose inter-eye direction is horizontal, is set as the standard position. The standard position of the left eye is called the left standard position EL0, and the standard position of the right eye is called the right standard position ER0. The positions of the left eye and the right eye, which are displaced by the rotation of the face in a predetermined direction (for example, counterclockwise direction) in the roll direction with the center of both eyes (inter-eye center) as the axis, are displaced to the left, respectively. It is called position EL1 and right displacement position ER1. The positions of the left eye and the right eye displaced by rotating the face in a direction opposite to a predetermined direction (for example, a clockwise direction) with respect to the center of the eye are referred to as a left displacement position EL2 and a right displacement position ER2.
 コントローラ7は、取得部3によって取得された瞳の位置に基づいて、表示パネル5の各サブピクセルPに表示させる画像の種別を制御するように構成される。 The controller 7 is configured to control the type of image to be displayed on each subpixel P of the display panel 5 based on the position of the pupil acquired by the acquisition unit 3.
 コントローラ7は、左眼の位置が制御境界を越えて移動すると、少なくとも一部のサブピクセルに表示させる画像を変更するよう構成される。制御境界は、互いに隣接する制御領域の境界である。制御領域は、可視領域5a全体の面積に対する当該眼に対応する画像の面積の割合が最も高くなるように、各サブピクセルPが画像を表示するよう制御したときに、各サブピクセルPに表示される画像の種別が同じである、眼が位置する領域である。 The controller 7 is configured to change the image displayed on at least some of the subpixels when the position of the left eye moves beyond the control boundary. A control boundary is a boundary of control regions adjacent to each other. The control area is displayed in each subpixel P when each subpixel P is controlled to display an image so that the ratio of the area of the image corresponding to the eye to the total area of the visible area 5a is the highest. This is the area where the eye is located, which has the same type of image.
 図6の例では、「0」、「1」、「2」、・・・、「7」を囲む矩形は、それぞれ制御領域である。以降においては、「0」、「1」、「2」、・・・、「7」の識別番号をそれぞれ含む矩形を制御領域「1」、制御領域「2」、・・・制御領域「7」という。左眼が制御領域「1」にある限りは、複数のサブピクセルP2~P5に左眼画像が表示され、複数のサブピクセルP6~P8、およびP1に右眼画像が表示されていると、左可視領域5aL全体の面積に対する左眼画像の面積の割合が最も高くなる。このとき、右眼は、制御領域「1」から眼間距離E離れている制御領域「4」にあり、右可視領域5aR全体の面積に対する右眼画像の面積の割合が最も高くなる。 In the example of FIG. 6, the rectangles surrounding "0", "1", "2", ..., "7" are control areas, respectively. In the following, the rectangles containing the identification numbers of "0", "1", "2", ..., "7" are defined as the control area "1", the control area "2", ..., The control area "7". ". As long as the left eye is in the control area "1", the left eye image is displayed in the plurality of subpixels P2 to P5, and the right eye image is displayed in the plurality of subpixels P6 to P8 and P1. The ratio of the area of the left eye image to the total area of the visible region 5aL is the highest. At this time, the right eye is in the control area “4” which is separated from the control area “1” by the inter-eye distance E, and the ratio of the area of the right eye image to the total area of the right visible area 5aR is the highest.
 <第1バリアを介した表示パネルの視認における制御>
 図8は、第1バリア61を介して表示パネル5の領域(図2~図5の例では、y1行~y3行、及びy7行~y9行)を視認する場合の、各制御領域を奥行方向から見た図である。
<Control in visual recognition of the display panel through the first barrier>
FIG. 8 shows the depth of each control area when the area of the display panel 5 (in the examples of FIGS. 2 to 5, y1 to y3 and y7 to y9) is visually recognized through the first barrier 61. It is a figure seen from a direction.
 利用者の頭部が反時計回り(図8の矢印Bで示した方向)に回転し、左眼が標準位置EL0から回転位置EL1に変位した場合、コントローラ7は、左眼が位置する制御領域を制御領域「3」から制御領域「4」に変更するように構成される。このとき、右眼は右標準位置ER0から回転位置ER1に変位するため、コントローラ7は、右眼が位置する制御領域を制御領域「7」に維持するように構成される。コントローラ7は、左眼が位置する制御領域「4」と、右眼が位置する制御領域「7」とに基づいて、第1バリア61を介して視認する表示パネル5の領域の各サブピクセルに左眼画像または右眼画像を表示させるように構成される。 When the user's head rotates counterclockwise (the direction indicated by the arrow B in FIG. 8) and the left eye is displaced from the standard position EL0 to the rotation position EL1, the controller 7 controls the control area in which the left eye is located. Is configured to change from the control area "3" to the control area "4". At this time, since the right eye is displaced from the right standard position ER0 to the rotation position ER1, the controller 7 is configured to maintain the control area in which the right eye is located in the control area “7”. Based on the control area "4" where the left eye is located and the control area "7" where the right eye is located, the controller 7 is used for each subpixel of the area of the display panel 5 which is visually recognized through the first barrier 61. It is configured to display a left-eye image or a right-eye image.
 例えば、図6を参照して理解されるように、左眼が制御領域「4」に位置する場合、左可視領域5aLには、複数のサブピクセルP5~P8が含まれる。一方、右眼が制御領域「7」に位置する場合、右可視領域5aRには、複数のサブピクセルP1~P3、およびP8が含まれる。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP5~P7に左眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、右可視領域5aRに含まれ、左可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP1~P3に右眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれる複数のサブピクセルP8に黒画像を表示させてよいし、優先眼画像を表示させてよい。優先眼画像は、左眼画像および右眼画像のうちのいずれかであって、例えば、利き眼である眼に対応する画像であってよい。 For example, as will be understood with reference to FIG. 6, when the left eye is located in the control area “4”, the left visible area 5aL includes a plurality of subpixels P5 to P8. On the other hand, when the right eye is located in the control area "7", the right visible area 5aR includes a plurality of subpixels P1 to P3 and P8. The controller 7 may display the left eye image on a plurality of subpixels P5 to P7 included in the left visible region 5aL and not included in the right visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display the right eye image on a plurality of subpixels P1 to P3 included in the right visible region 5aR and not included in the left visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display a black image on a plurality of subpixels P8 included in the left visible region 5aL and included in the right visible region 5aR, or may display a priority eye image. The priority eye image may be either a left eye image or a right eye image, and may be, for example, an image corresponding to the dominant eye.
 利用者の頭部が時計回り(図8の矢印Cで示した方向)に回転し、左眼が標準位置EL0から回転位置EL2に変位した場合、左眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「3」から制御領域「1」に変更される。このとき、右眼は右標準位置ER0から回転位置ER2に変位するため、右眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「7」から制御領域「2」に変更される。コントローラ7は、左眼が位置する制御領域「1」と、右眼が位置する制御領域「2」とに基づいて、各サブピクセルに左眼画像または右眼画像を表示させる。 When the user's head rotates clockwise (the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 8) and the left eye is displaced from the standard position EL0 to the rotation position EL2, the control area in which the left eye is located is the control area " The control area "1" is changed from "3". At this time, since the right eye is displaced from the right standard position ER0 to the rotation position ER2, the control area in which the right eye is located is changed from the control area “7” to the control area “2”. The controller 7 causes each subpixel to display a left eye image or a right eye image based on the control area “1” in which the left eye is located and the control area “2” in which the right eye is located.
 例えば、図6を参照して理解されるように、左眼が制御領域「1」に位置する場合、左可視領域5aLには複数のサブピクセルP2~P5が含まれる。一方、右眼が制御領域「2」に位置する場合、右可視領域5aRには、複数のサブピクセルP3~P6が含まれる。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP2に左眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、右可視領域5aRに含まれ、左可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP6に右眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれる複数のサブピクセルP3~P5に黒画像を表示させてよいし、優先眼画像を表示させてよい。 For example, as will be understood with reference to FIG. 6, when the left eye is located in the control area “1”, the left visible area 5aL includes a plurality of subpixels P2 to P5. On the other hand, when the right eye is located in the control area "2", the right visible area 5aR includes a plurality of subpixels P3 to P6. The controller 7 may display the left eye image on a plurality of subpixels P2 included in the left visible region 5aL and not included in the right visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display the right eye image on a plurality of subpixels P6 included in the right visible region 5aR and not included in the left visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display a black image on a plurality of subpixels P3 to P5 included in the left visible region 5aL and included in the right visible region 5aR, or may display a priority eye image.
 このように、第1バリア61を介した表示パネルの視認においては、利用者の頭部が反時計周りに回転した場合、時計周りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、眼間距離Eの水平方向の成分、すなわち、制御領域間の距離が短くなる。これにより、左可視領域5aLであり、かつ、右可視領域5aRである領域が大きくなり、左眼が視認する左眼画像または右眼が視認する右眼画像の少なくともいずれかの面積が少なくなる。したがって、利用者は、3次元画像を適切にし難くなる。言い換えれば、利用者の頭部が、時計周りに回転した場合、反時計回りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、3次元画像の視認し難さは低減されうる。 As described above, in the visual recognition of the display panel through the first barrier 61, when the user's head is rotated counterclockwise, the inter-eye distance E is larger than when the user's head is rotated at the same angle clockwise. The horizontal component, i.e., the distance between the control regions is reduced. As a result, the area that is the left visible region 5aL and the right visible region 5aR becomes large, and the area of at least one of the left eye image that the left eye sees and the right eye image that the right eye sees becomes small. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to make the three-dimensional image appropriate. In other words, when the user's head is rotated clockwise, the difficulty in visually recognizing the three-dimensional image can be reduced as compared with the case where the user's head is rotated at an angle equal to counterclockwise.
 <第2バリアを介した表示パネルの視認における制御>
 図9は、第2バリア62を介して表示パネル5の領域(図2~図5の例では、y4行~y6行)を視認する場合の、各制御領域を奥行方向から見た図である。
<Control in visual recognition of the display panel via the second barrier>
FIG. 9 is a view of each control region viewed from the depth direction when the region of the display panel 5 (rows y4 to y6 in the examples of FIGS. 2 to 5) is visually recognized through the second barrier 62. ..
 利用者の頭部が反時計回り(図9の矢印Bで示した方向)に回転し、左眼が標準位置EL0から回転位置EL1に変位した場合、左眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「3」から制御領域「0」に変更される。このとき、右眼は右標準位置ER0から回転位置ER1に変位するため、右眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「7」から制御領域「1」に変更される。コントローラ7は、左眼が位置する制御領域「0」と、右眼が位置する制御領域「1」とに基づいて、第2バリア61を介して視認する表示パネル5の領域の各サブピクセルに左眼画像または右眼画像を表示させる。 When the user's head rotates counterclockwise (the direction indicated by the arrow B in FIG. 9) and the left eye is displaced from the standard position EL0 to the rotation position EL1, the control area in which the left eye is located is the control area. The control area is changed from "3" to "0". At this time, since the right eye is displaced from the right standard position ER0 to the rotation position ER1, the control area in which the right eye is located is changed from the control area “7” to the control area “1”. Based on the control area "0" where the left eye is located and the control area "1" where the right eye is located, the controller 7 is used for each subpixel of the area of the display panel 5 which is visually recognized through the second barrier 61. Display the left eye image or the right eye image.
 例えば、図6を参照して理解されるように、左眼が制御領域「0」に位置する場合、左可視領域5aLには複数のサブピクセルP1~P4が含まれる。一方、右眼が制御領域「1」に位置する場合、右可視領域5aRには、複数のサブピクセルP2~P5が含まれる。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP1に左眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、右可視領域5aRに含まれ、左可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP5に右眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれる複数のサブピクセルP2~P4に黒画像を表示させてよいし、優先眼画像を表示させてよい。 For example, as understood with reference to FIG. 6, when the left eye is located in the control area “0”, the left visible area 5aL includes a plurality of subpixels P1 to P4. On the other hand, when the right eye is located in the control area "1", the right visible area 5aR includes a plurality of subpixels P2 to P5. The controller 7 may display the left eye image on a plurality of subpixels P1 included in the left visible region 5aL and not included in the right visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display the right eye image on a plurality of subpixels P5 included in the right visible region 5aR and not included in the left visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display a black image on a plurality of subpixels P2 to P4 included in the left visible region 5aL and included in the right visible region 5aR, or may display a priority eye image.
 利用者の頭部が時計回り(図9の矢印Cで示した方向)に回転し、左眼が標準位置EL0から回転位置EL2に変位した場合、左眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「3」に維持される。このとき、右眼は右標準位置ER0から回転位置ER2に変位するため、右眼が位置する制御領域は、制御領域「7」から制御領域「6」に変更される。コントローラ7は、左眼が位置する制御領域「3」と、右眼が位置する制御領域「6」とに基づいて、各サブピクセルに左眼画像または右眼画像を表示させる。 When the user's head rotates clockwise (the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 9) and the left eye is displaced from the standard position EL0 to the rotation position EL2, the control area in which the left eye is located is the control area " It is maintained at "3". At this time, since the right eye is displaced from the right standard position ER0 to the rotation position ER2, the control area in which the right eye is located is changed from the control area “7” to the control area “6”. The controller 7 causes each subpixel to display a left eye image or a right eye image based on the control area “3” where the left eye is located and the control area “6” where the right eye is located.
 例えば、図6を参照して理解されるように、左眼が制御領域「3」に位置する場合、左可視領域5aLには複数のサブピクセルP4~P8が含まれる。一方、右眼が制御領域「6」に位置する場合、右可視領域5aRには、複数のサブピクセルP1、P2、P7、およびP8が含まれる。そこで、コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP4~P6に左眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、右可視領域5aRに含まれ、左可視領域5aRに含まれない複数のサブピクセルP1、P2、およびP7に右眼画像を表示させてよい。コントローラ7は、左可視領域5aLに含まれ、右可視領域5aRに含まれる複数のサブピクセルP8に黒画像を表示させてよいし、優先眼画像を表示させてよい。 For example, as will be understood with reference to FIG. 6, when the left eye is located in the control area “3”, the left visible area 5aL includes a plurality of subpixels P4 to P8. On the other hand, when the right eye is located in the control area "6", the right visible area 5aR includes a plurality of subpixels P1, P2, P7, and P8. Therefore, the controller 7 may display the left eye image on a plurality of subpixels P4 to P6 included in the left visible region 5aL and not included in the right visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display the right eye image on a plurality of subpixels P1, P2, and P7 included in the right visible region 5aR and not included in the left visible region 5aR. The controller 7 may display a black image on a plurality of subpixels P8 included in the left visible region 5aL and included in the right visible region 5aR, or may display a priority eye image.
 第2バリア62を介した表示パネルの視認においては、利用者の頭部が時計周りに回転した場合、反時計周りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、眼間距離Eの水平方向の成分、すなわち、制御領域間の距離が短くなる。これにより、左可視領域5aLであり、かつ、右可視領域5aRである領域が大きくなり、左眼が視認する左眼画像または右眼が視認する右眼画像の少なくともいずれかの面積が少なくなる。したがって、利用者は、3次元画像を適切にし難くなる。言い換えれば、利用者の頭部が、反時計周りに回転した場合、時計回りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、3次元画像の視認し難さは低減されうる。 In the visual recognition of the display panel through the second barrier 62, when the user's head is rotated clockwise, the horizontal component of the inter-eye distance E is compared with the case where the user's head is rotated at the same angle counterclockwise. That is, the distance between the control areas becomes shorter. As a result, the area that is the left visible region 5aL and the right visible region 5aR becomes large, and the area of at least one of the left eye image that the left eye sees and the right eye image that the right eye sees becomes small. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to make the three-dimensional image appropriate. In other words, when the user's head is rotated counterclockwise, the difficulty in visually recognizing the three-dimensional image can be reduced as compared with the case where the user's head is rotated at an angle equal to clockwise.
 以上をまとめると、第1バリア61を介した表示パネル5の視認においては、利用者の頭部が時計周りに回転した場合、反時計回りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、3次元画像の視認し難さは低減されうる。一方、第2バリア62を介した表示パネル5の視認においては、利用者の頭部が反時計周りに回転した場合、時計回りに等しい角度で回転した場合に比べて、3次元画像の視認し難さは低減されうる。 Summarizing the above, in the visual recognition of the display panel 5 through the first barrier 61, when the user's head is rotated clockwise, a three-dimensional image is compared with the case where the user's head is rotated at an angle equal to counterclockwise. The difficulty of seeing can be reduced. On the other hand, in the visual recognition of the display panel 5 through the second barrier 62, when the user's head is rotated counterclockwise, the three-dimensional image is visually recognized as compared with the case where the user's head is rotated at an angle equal to clockwise. Difficulty can be reduced.
 すなわち、頭部が反時計周りに回転した場合、第1バリア61を介した表示パネル5の視認し難さが増加されることがあるが、第2バリア62を介した表示パネル5の視認し難さが低減されうる。頭部が時計周りに回転した場合、第2バリア62を介した表示パネル5の視認し難さが増加されることがあるが、第1バリア61を介した表示パネル5の視認し難さが低減されうる。したがって、利用者の頭部がいずれの方向に回転した場合も、第1バリア61及び第2バリア62のいずれかを介した表示パネル5の視認において、3次元画像の視認し難さは低減されうる。また、人間の眼には、適切に視認できない画像より、適切に視認した3次元画像を認識し易いという特性が見られることがある。このため、本実施形態のパララックスバリア6により、3次元表示装置2は、頭部がいずれの方向に回転しても、第1バリア61又は第2バリア62を介して視認した、比較的適切な3次元画像を認識させることができる。 That is, when the head is rotated counterclockwise, it may be difficult to see the display panel 5 through the first barrier 61, but the display panel 5 is visually recognized through the second barrier 62. Difficulty can be reduced. When the head is rotated clockwise, it may be difficult to see the display panel 5 through the second barrier 62, but it is difficult to see the display panel 5 through the first barrier 61. Can be reduced. Therefore, when the user's head is rotated in any direction, the difficulty in visually recognizing the three-dimensional image is reduced in the visual recognition of the display panel 5 through either the first barrier 61 or the second barrier 62. sell. In addition, the human eye may have a characteristic that it is easier to recognize a properly viewed three-dimensional image than an image that cannot be properly viewed. Therefore, according to the paralux barrier 6 of the present embodiment, the three-dimensional display device 2 is relatively appropriate as it is visually recognized through the first barrier 61 or the second barrier 62 regardless of the direction in which the head is rotated. 3D image can be recognized.
 図12に示した本開示のパララックスバリアが基礎とするパララックスバリア60は、鉛直方向で互いに隣接する、境界線に対して互いに対称な複数の第1バリア部61と複数の第2バリア部62を有さない。従来のパララックスバリア60における減光部601を構成する複数の矩形の領域は、鉛直方向において、水平方向の一方向に所定長さずれて、パララックスバリア60の一の端部から他の端部まで繰り返して配列されている。減光部601によって画定される透光部602を構成する複数の矩形の領域は、水平方向の一方向に所定長さずれて、パララックスバリア60の一の端部から他の端部まで繰り返して配列されている。したがって、利用者の頭部が時計周りと反時計回りとのいずれか(図12の例では時計回り)に回転した場合、表示パネル5の視認し難さが増加され、反対に(図12の例では反時計回り)回転した場合、表示パネル5の視認し難さが低減される。したがって、利用者の頭部が一方の方向(図12の例では時計回り)に回転した場合に、表示パネル5の視認し難さが低減されることはない。このような本開示のパララックスバリアが基礎とするパララックスバリア60に比べて、上述した本実施形態のパララックスバリア6を用いることによって、3次元表示装置2は、頭部がいずれの方向に回転しても、比較的適切な3次元画像を認識させることができるという効果を奏する。 The parallax barrier 60 based on the parallax barrier of the present disclosure shown in FIG. 12 has a plurality of first barrier portions 61 and a plurality of second barrier portions that are vertically adjacent to each other and are symmetrical with respect to the boundary line. Does not have 62. The plurality of rectangular regions constituting the dimming portion 601 of the conventional paralux barrier 60 are displaced by a predetermined length in one horizontal direction in the vertical direction from one end to the other end of the paralux barrier 60. It is arranged repeatedly up to the part. The plurality of rectangular regions constituting the translucent portion 602 defined by the dimming portion 601 are deviated by a predetermined length in one horizontal direction, and repeat from one end to the other end of the parallax barrier 60. Are arranged. Therefore, when the user's head is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise (clockwise in the example of FIG. 12), the visibility of the display panel 5 is increased, and conversely (in FIG. 12). When rotated counterclockwise in the example, the difficulty in visually recognizing the display panel 5 is reduced. Therefore, when the user's head is rotated in one direction (clockwise in the example of FIG. 12), the difficulty in visually recognizing the display panel 5 is not reduced. Compared to the parallax barrier 60 on which the parallax barrier of the present disclosure is based, by using the parallax barrier 6 of the present embodiment described above, the three-dimensional display device 2 has a head in which direction. Even if it is rotated, it has the effect of being able to recognize a relatively appropriate three-dimensional image.
 上述の実施形態は代表的な例として説明したが、本開示の趣旨および範囲内で、多くの変更および置換ができることは当業者に明らかである。したがって、本開示は、上述の実施形態によって制限するものと解するべきではなく、特許請求の範囲から逸脱することなく、種々の変形および変更が可能である。例えば、実施形態および実施例に記載の複数の構成ブロックを1つに組合せたり、あるいは1つの構成ブロックを分割したりすることが可能である。 Although the above-described embodiment has been described as a representative example, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications and substitutions can be made within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as limiting by the embodiments described above, and various modifications and modifications can be made without departing from the claims.

 図10に示すように、3次元表示装置2は、ヘッドアップディスプレイ100に搭載されうる。ヘッドアップディスプレイ100は、HUD(Head Up Display)100ともいう。HUD100は、3次元表示装置2と、光学部材110と、被投影面130を有する被投影部材120とを備える。HUD100は、3次元表示装置2から射出される画像光を、光学部材110を介して被投影部材120に到達させる。HUD100は、被投影部材120で反射させた画像光を、利用者の左眼および右眼に到達させる。つまり、HUD100は、破線で示される光路140に沿って、3次元表示装置2から利用者の左眼および右眼まで画像光を進行させる。利用者は、光路140に沿って到達した画像光を、虚像150として視認しうる。3次元表示装置2は、利用者の左眼および右眼の位置に応じて表示を制御することによって、利用者の動きに応じて立体視を提供しうる。 As shown in FIG. 10, the three-dimensional display device 2 can be mounted on the head-up display 100. The head-up display 100 is also referred to as a HUD (Head Up Display) 100.
