Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical device including a display panel configured to display an image and a phase retardation plate disposed on the display panel. An optical modulation device is disposed on the phase retardation plate. The optical modulation device includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate. The first and second substrates include a plurality of unit regions. A liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. The first substrate includes a plurality of lower electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode. and the first substrate includes a first aligner. The second substrate includes an upper electrode and a second aligner. An alignment direction of the first aligner and an alignment direction of the second aligner are substantially parallel to each other.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (“3D”) image display device includes a display panel, and a liquid crystal lens part disposed on the display panel and which selectively provides a two-dimensional (“2D”) image and a 3D stereoscopic image, where the liquid crystal lens part includes: a lower substrate including a plurality of linear electrodes which are disposed in different layers; an upper substrate including a plate electrode; and a lens liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate, where the linear electrodes in the different layers are alternately arranged in a unit zone of the liquid crystal lens part, and where two adjacent linear electrodes of the linear electrodes are spaced apart from each other when viewed from a top view.
