Abstract:
A method of displaying a three-dimensional (“3D”) image, the method includes determining a shutter electrode of an unit part included in a shutter panel as a left-eye electrode and a right-eye electrode, the unit part including ‘n’ shutter electrodes (herein, n is a natural number), selectively driving the left-eye electrode and the right-eye electrode as an opening part based on an image displayed on a display panel to transmit light through the opening part, and providing light transmitted through the opening part with an observer's two eyes through a lens plate, the lens plate including a plurality of lenses.
Abstract:
A 3-dimensional image display device includes: a backlight unit; a barrier panel above the backlight unit and including unit barriers which selectively blocks light; a lenticular lens array above the barrier panel and including lenticular lenses, each having a principal point; a liquid crystal panel above the lenticular lens array; an eye tracking sensor which detects a position of eyes of a viewer and a distance between the principal point of the lenticular lenses and the eyes; and a controller which controls the backlight unit, the barrier panel and the liquid crystal panel based on an output of the eye tracking sensor, where the controller turns on and off the unit barriers such that light passes through the principal point of the lenticular lenses to apply a right-eye image to a right eye of the viewer and apply a left-eye image to a left eye of the viewer.
