Image quality in an image display device
First Claim
1. A display device for displaying a three dimensional image such that different views are displayed according to different viewing angles, the display device including:
- a display panel having a plurality of separately addressable pixels for displaying said image, the pixels being grouped such that different pixels in a group correspond to different views of the image; and
a retarder in optical association with the display panel, the retarder comprising a plurality of separately controllable retarder pixels, each retarder pixel being associated with at least one corresponding pixel in the display panel;
wherein at least one optical parameter of each retarder pixel is varied as a function of viewing angle relative to the at least one corresponding pixel in the display panel.

Abstract
A display device for displaying a three dimensional image such that different views are displayed according to the viewing angle. The display device includes a display panel having separately addressable pixels for displaying the image, where the pixels are grouped such that different pixels in a group correspond to different views. The display device further includes a retarder in optical association with the display panel. The retarder includes retarder pixels, where at least one retarder pixel is associated with each corresponding pixel in the display panel. Optical parameters of the retarder pixels are varied as function of the viewing angle associated with the corresponding pixel in the display panel.

19. A method for displaying a three dimensional image on a display device comprising a retarder including a plurality of separately controllable retarder pixels, the method comprising:
-
displaying an image on a plurality of separately addressable pixels in a display panel, the pixels being grouped such that different pixels in a group correspond to different views of the image; and altering the displayed image by varying at least one optical parameter of at least one retarder pixel as a function of viewing angle associated with a pixel of the display device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
