Abstract

There are provided an IR receiver and liquid crystal shutter glasses with the same, and more particularly, an IR receiver and liquid crystal shutter glasses having the same to solve the problem in that a pair of the crystal liquid shutter glasses malfunctions by infrared generated from the surrounding environment, such as a halogen light.

The liquid crystal shutter glasses comprises: an IR receiver including an IR sensor to receive an IR signal transmitted from a display device; two lenses of a right eye lens and a left eye lens having their respective liquid crystal shutters; and a liquid crystal driving unit to open and close the liquid crystal shutters of the two lenses, wherein the IR receiver comprises: an IR lens unit being convex toward the IR sensor; and an IR absorber to absorb the IR entering at a predetermined height/angle or more, among the incidence of the IR toward the IR sensor.

Claims

1. An IR receiver including an IR sensor to receive an IR signal, the IR receiver comprising:

a condensing lens unit to concentrate IR from the outside to the IR sensor; and

an IR absorber connected to at least a part of the condensing lens unit, to absorb the IR entering at a predetermined angle, among the incidence of the IR toward the IR sensor to thereby exclude the absorbed IR from reaching the IR receiver.

2. Liquid crystal shutter glasses comprising:

an IR receiver including an IR sensor to receive an IR signal transmitted from a display device;

two lenses of a right eye lens and a left eye lens having their respective liquid crystal shutters; and

a liquid crystal driving unit to open and close the liquid crystal shutters of the two lenses,

wherein the IR receiver comprises;

an condensing lens unit to concentrate infrared (IR) to the IR sensor; and

an IR absorber connected to an upper part of the condensing lens unit, to absorb the IR entering at a predetermined height/angle or more, among the incidence of the IR toward the IR sensor to thereby exclude the absorbed IR from reaching the IR receiver.

3. The liquid crystal shutter glasses according to claim 2, wherein the condensing lens unit is formed of a convex lens being convex toward the IR sensor.

4. The liquid crystal shutter glasses according to claim 2, wherein the condensing lens unit is formed of the Fresnel lens to concentrate the IR to the IR sensor.

5. The liquid crystal shutter glasses according to claim 2, wherein the IR receiver further comprises:

a second IR absorber connected to a lower part of the condensing lens unit, to absorb the IR entering at a predetermined height/angle or less, among the incidence of the IR toward the IR sensor.

6. The liquid crystal shutter glasses according to claim 2, wherein the IR absorber is positioned, along an outside circumference of the condensing lens.

7. The liquid crystal shutter glasses according to claim 2, wherein the IR absorber is positioned, along an inside circumference of the condensing lens.
