Mobile terminal and image display controlling method thereof
First Claim
1. A display module for a mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display for displaying an image that includes one or more objects;
a motion sensor configured to sense rotation of the mobile terminal, the sensed rotation corresponding to a switching command to change the image displayed on the display between a 2D image and a 3D image; and
a controller configured to change the image between the 2D image and the 3D image based on the received switching command, the controller controlling the display to sequentially display one or more intermediate images to gradually change an extent in which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display during the change in the image, wherein the extent in which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display as the rotation of the mobile terminal is sensed corresponds to a degree of rotation of the mobile terminal sensed by the motion sensor, and wherein a pre-determined extent in which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display is previously set for the 3D image, andwherein, response to the switching command, the controller is configured to control the display to sequentially display the one or more intermediate images including a first intermediate image that protrudes or recedes by a first amount that is less than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the first amount corresponding to a first amount of rotation of the mobile terminal, and then a second intermediate image that protrudes or recedes by a second amount that is greater than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the second amount corresponding to a second amount of rotation of the mobile terminal, prior to displaying the 3D image at the predetermined extent set for the 3D image.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method of controlling an image display thereof are disclosed. A display module for a mobile terminal as disclosed herein may include a display for displaying an image that includes one or more objects, a user input interface to receive an input to change the image between a 2D display and a 3D display, and a controller configured to change the displayed image between the 2D display and the 3D display based on the received input. The controller may control the display to sequentially display one or more intermediate images in order to gradually change an extent in which at least one of the one or more objects is perceived to protrude or recede into the display during the change in the displayed image.

20. A method of controlling a display in a mobile terminal, comprising:
-
displaying an image that includes one or more objects; receiving a switching command to change the displayed image between a 2D image and a 3D image, the switching command being sensed by a motion sensor configured to sense motion of the mobile terminal, the sensed motion being a rotation of the mobile terminal corresponding to the switching command to change the displayed image; and changing the displayed image between the 2D image and the 3D image, wherein changing the displayed image includes sequentially displaying one or more intermediate images to gradually change an extent in which at least one of the one or more objects is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display during the change in the displayed image, a pre-determined extent in which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display being previously set for the 3D image, wherein sequentially displaying the one or more intermediate images when changing the displayed image from the 2D image to the 3D image comprises sequentially displaying a first intermediate image and then a second intermediate image prior to displaying the 3D image, and wherein displaying a first intermediate image comprises displaying the first intermediate image such that the first intermediate image protrudes or recedes by a first amount that is less than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the first amount corresponding to a first amount of rotation of the mobile terminal, and displaying a second intermediate image comprises displaying the second intermediate image such that the second intermediate image protrudes or recedes by a second amount that is greater than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the second amount corresponding to a second amount of rotation of the mobile terminal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

29. A display unit for a mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a display for displaying an image that includes one or more objects; an input interface to receive switching command to change the image displayed on the display between a 2D image and a 3D image; and a controller configured to change the image between the 2D image and the 3D image in response to the received switching command, the controller controlling the display to sequentially display one or more intermediate images to gradually change an extent to which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display as the displayed image is changed, wherein the one or more intermediate images include at least one of the one or more objects, the at least one of the one or more objects of the one or more intermediate images perceived to protrude from or recede into the display by an intermediate amount, wherein a pre-determined extent in which the image is perceived to protrude from or recede into the display is previously set for the 3D image, and wherein, when changing the displayed image from the 2D image to the 3D image, the controller controls a display of a first intermediate image to protrude or recede by a first amount that is less than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the first amount corresponding to a first orientation of the mobile terminal, and controls a display of a second intermediate image to protrude or recede by a second amount that is greater than the pre-determined extent set for the 3D image, the second amount corresponding to a second orientation of the mobile terminal, prior to displaying the 3D image.
