Three-dimensional image display device and three-dimensional image display method
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional image display device comprising:
- an image display unit configured to display a plurality of elemental images including a plurality of parallax component images on a display plane;
an optical plate facing the image display unit and including a plurality of optical apertures configured to control a direction of light emitted from the image display device, each optical aperture being associated with one of the plurality of elemental images, extending along a first direction and arranged in a second direction; and
an image data converting unit including;
an elemental image width adjustment value calculating unit configured to calculate an adjustment in an average value of widths of the plurality of elemental images;
a pixel conversion rule generating unit configured to generate a conversion rule for converting pixels of an input image based on the calculated adjustment; and
a pixel converting unit configured to convert one or more of the pixels of the input image to be displayed by the image display unit.

Abstract
It is made possible to provide a three-dimensional image display device by which a viewing zone can be readily adjusted in the parallel-ray one-dimensional IP system, without a decrease in processing speed. A three-dimensional image display device includes: an elemental image display unit that has pixels arranged in a matrix form in a display plane, and displays an elemental image; an optical plate that is placed to face the elemental image display unit, extends straightly in a vertical direction, and controls a light ray from the elemental image display unit, the optical plate having optical apertures arranged at intervals in a horizontal direction; and an image data converting unit that converts image data so as to replace missing image data with a neighboring parallax component in same the elemental image, based on the average width of elemental images in an input image data and the optimum average width of elemental images in a three-dimensional video image to be output.
