Abstract: An interocular distance measurement method is implementable by a three-dimensional display device including a display, a barrier, a detector, and a controller. The display displays a parallax image. The barrier provides parallax between eyes of a user. The detector detects a position of a face of the user. The method includes displaying an image, detecting a first position, detecting a second position, and calculating an interocular distance. The displaying an image includes displaying an image for interocular distance measurement. The detecting a first position includes detecting a first position of the face of the user in response to an instruction from the user. The detecting a second position includes detecting a second position of the face of the user in response to an instruction from the user. The calculating an interocular distance includes calculating an interocular distance of the user based on the first and the second positions.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display device includes a display panel that displays a parallax image, an optical panel including a plurality of less-transmissive portions and a plurality of transmissive portions repeatedly arranged alternately in a parallax direction, and a controller that controls the display panel. Each of the plurality of transmissive portions has a first width in the parallax direction greater than a second width of each of the plurality of less-transmissive portions in the parallax direction. The controller causes the display panel to display a black image in a binocular viewable area on the display panel viewable to two eyes of a user to allow parallax separation of the parallax image.

Abstract: A head-up display includes a display panel, a parallax barrier, an optical system including a reflector and an optical member, and a controller. The optical system projects a virtual image of an image displayed by the display panel onto a virtual image plane. The controller controls the display panel such that first second images which have a parallax with each other are projected as a three-dimensional image in a field of view of the user, and a convergence angle at which the user views a point on the three-dimensional image is equal to or less than a maximum convergence angle which is greater by 0.43 degrees than a convergence angle for viewing a point on the virtual image plane and is equal to or greater than a minimum convergence angle which is less by 0.43 degrees than the convergence angle for viewing a point on the virtual image plane.

Abstract: An image display module includes a display that displays a parallax image projected to eyes of a user, a barrier that causes parallax between the eyes by defining a traveling direction of image light for the parallax image, and a controller that controls the display. The controller divides the display into a plurality of display control areas based on distortion of the parallax image projected, and controls, for each of the plurality of display control areas, a minimum repeat unit and an index for the parallax image.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display apparatus includes a display panel and an optical element. The display panel includes a display surface. The display surface extends in a first direction, extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The first direction corresponds to a parallax direction of user's eyes seeing an image. The display surface curves around a central axis extending in the second direction. The display surface includes subpixels arranged in a grid pattern in the first direction and the second direction within the display surface. The optical element is arranged along the display surface, and the optical element includes strip-shaped regions, each of which extends in a certain direction. The optical element is configured to define a beam direction of image light emitted from the subpixels. The display surface forms an arc in a cross-section that is orthogonal to the second direction. A position of an eye box, in the first direction, is set to a position within a distance r sin θ from the center of the arc. The r represents a diameter of the arc. The θ represents an angle formed by a linear line connecting between a first direction edge of the display panel and a center of the arc and a linear line connecting between a first direction center of the display panel and the center of the arc viewed in the second direction. The eye box is an acceptable range of a position of the user's eyes when the user sees the image.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display apparatus comprises a display panel (display element) and a parallax barrier (optical element). The display panel displays a left-eye image and a right-eye image respectively in first subpixels and second subpixels. The parallax barrier transmits at least part of the left-eye image toward the left eye, and at least part of the right-eye image toward the right eye. A first certain number of the first subpixels and of the second subpixels are each successively arranged in each column. A region in which the first subpixels are arranged and a region in which the second subpixels are arranged are displaced from each other by a second certain number between two adjacent columns. The first certain number is greater than the second certain number and is not a multiple of the second certain number.

Abstract: A display device includes: a first panel including a first image-forming surface for forming a first image visually recognized by a user and a plurality of first pixels; a second panel including a second image-forming surface for forming a second image visually recognized by the user and a plurality of second pixels; and a half-wavelength plate located between the first image-forming surface and the second image-forming surface. The half-wavelength plate includes an optical axis, is configured to be capable of transmitting incident light from either one panel of the first panel and the second panel, and of emitting light as emission light to the other panel. A polarization direction of the emission light from the half-wavelength plate is determined based on a polarization direction of the incident light on the half-wavelength plate and a direction of the optical axis.
