First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for displaying a perceived three-dimensional (3D) image, comprising:
- a display panel having a plurality of subpixels, wherein red, green and blue subpixels are alternately arranged in a row direction of the display panel, and subpixels having a same color are arranged in a column direction of the display panel;
a 3D image filter provided in front of the display panel, the 3D image filter including a transparent area and a non-transparent area that are arranged alternately; and
a controller to determine a view image to be displayed at each subpixel as one of two view images based on numbers allocated to the subpixels, wherein the two view images includes a left view image and a right view image,wherein the controller determines a view image to be displayed based on an inclination direction of an edge of the non-transparent area of the 3D image filter and a number of view images, wherein the numbers are calculated based on information detected by the controller and the inclination direction of the edge of the non-transparent area, andwherein the detected information is information indicating the position of a center point of the viewer'"'"'s eyes,wherein the 3D image is a multi-view image including three or more number of images, and wherein a first part of the images, which is less than the number of images included in the multi-view image, are associated with the left view image, and a second part of the images, including at least one of remaining images, are associated with the right view image.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image is disclosed. On a display panel, red, green and blue subpixels are alternately arranged in a row direction and subpixels having the same color are arranged in a column direction. A 3D image filter is disposed ahead of the display panel and includes a transparent area and a non-transparent area arranged alternately. A controller determines a view image to be displayed at each subpixel of the display panel to one of two view images based on numbers allocated to the subpixels of the display panel.

11. A method of displaying a perceived three-dimensional (3D) image on a display panel having a plurality of subpixels, the method comprising:
-
determining a view image to be displayed at each subpixel of the display panel as one of two view images based on numbers allocated to the subpixels of the display panel and based on an inclination direction of an edge of a non-transparent area of a 3D image filter and a number of view images, wherein the numbers are calculated based on information detected by a controller and the inclination direction of the edge of the non-transparent area, and wherein the detected information is information indicating the positions of a center point of the viewer'"'"'s eyes; and displaying the determined view images through the subpixels, wherein red, green and blue subpixels are alternately arranged in a row direction of the display panel, and subpixels having a same color are arranged on the display panel in a column direction of the display panel, wherein the two view images includes a left view image and a right view image, wherein the 3D image is multi-view image including three or more images, and wherein a first part of the images, which is less than the number of images included in the multi-view image, is associated with the left view image, and a second part of the images, including at least one of remaining images, are associated with the right view image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 16, 17)
