TIME SHARING TYPE AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A time sharing type autostereoscopic image display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel;
a polarization switch which is disposed on a front surface of the display panel and is divided into N segments to be independently driven to change a polarization direction of an incident light; and
a control unit which controls the polarization switch so that each of the N segments is driven in synchronization with an image scanning time of the display panel corresponding to each segment,wherein the control unit controls the polarization switch so that a time when a driving signal is applied to an initial segment of the N segments of the polarization switch is delayed relative to a time when an image starts to be scanned after a vertical synchronization signal is applied to the display panel.

Abstract
A time sharing type autostereoscopic display apparatus and a method for driving the same are provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel; a polarization switch; and a control unit which controls the polarization switch so that each of N segments of the polarization switch is driven in synchronization with an image scanning time of the display panel corresponding to each segment, and controls the polarization switch so that a time when a driving signal is applied to an initial segment is delayed relative to a time when an image starts to be scanned after a vertical synchronization signal is applied to the display panel. The method includes controlling the display apparatus so that a time when a driving signal is applied to an initial segment delayed relative to a time when an image starts to be scanned.

8. A method for driving a time sharing type autostereoscopic image display apparatus, the method comprising:
controlling the time sharing type autostereoscopic image display apparatus so that a time when a driving signal is applied to an initial segment of a polarization switch is delayed relative to a time when an image starts to be scanned after a vertical synchronization signal is applied to a display panel of the time sharing type autostereoscopic image display apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An autostereoscopic image display apparatus comprising:
-
a backlight unit; a polarization plate which allows light emitted from the backlight unit to have only a certain polarization direction; a polarization switch which changes a polarization direction of an incident light according to a control signal; a birefringent element array in which first and second birefringent elements are alternately disposed, the first and second birefringent elements changing a polarization direction of light incident to the first and second birefringent elements so that polarization directions of light transmitted through the first and second birefringent elements are perpendicular to each other; a lenticular lens sheet which separates the incident light into a left-eye region and a right-eye region and emits the incident light; and a liquid crystal display panel on which an image is displayed, wherein the polarization switch is divided into N segments sequentially switched in synchronization with an image scanning time of the liquid crystal display panel, and a time when a driving signal is applied to an initial segment of the N segments of the polarization switch is delayed relative to a time when an image starts to be scanned after a vertical synchronization signal is applied to the liquid crystal display panel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
