First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling viewing shutters, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory storing instructions for causing the processor to generate shutter control information including;
information specifying an open period, of a first viewing shutter, that is greater than a display period of a first image, andinformation specifying an open period, of a second viewing shutter, that is greater than a display period of a second image; and
a communication unit for transmitting the shutter control information to the viewing shutters.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and display apparatuses consistent with the invention may generate control signals to control n light-passing devices such that the n light-passing devices each are sequentially operated between ON and OFF states, and such that each of the n light-passing devices are in the ON state no less than 1/n of the viewing period. This may allow different images to be viewed through different light-passing devices. The embodiments may be used, for example, to present a three-dimensional image to a viewer or to present different videos to different viewers.

15. Display apparatus for displaying images to light-passing devices operable between ON and OFF states, comprising:
-
a light source; a display device sequentially generating n images during a viewing period, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; a first control system for generating control signals to control n of the light-passing devices such that the n light-passing devices each are sequentially operated between ON and OFF states; and a second control system for controlling the light source such that light from the light source passing through the n light-passing devices is below a predetermined level during time periods when more than one of the n light-passing devices is in the ON state. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
