Abstract:
A liquid crystal lens includes a plurality of first sub liquid crystal portions having refractive indexes varied based on voltages applied thereto, a plurality of second sub liquid crystal portions having refractive indexes varied based on voltages applied thereto, where the second sub liquid crystal portions are adjacent to the first sub liquid crystal portions, respectively and a controller which controls the voltages applied to the first sub liquid crystal portions and the voltage applied to the second sub liquid crystal portions to provide a lens part.
Abstract:
A display panel includes a transmit-control portion and a light blocking portion. The pixel-transmit portion may include a pair of first sides and a pair of second sides and transmitting light, the pair of the first sides being inclined with respect to a horizontal-axis direction and substantially parallel with each other, the pair of the second sides being inclined with respect to a vertical-axis direction and substantially parallel with each other. The blocking portion may surround the pixel-transmit portion and block the light.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image display device using a diffractive lens. An image display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a display panel displaying an image, and a diffractive lens for the image of the display panel to be recognized as a two-dimensional (2D) image or a three-dimensional (3D) image, wherein the diffractive lens modifies a path of light by using an optical principle of a Fresnel zone plate.

Abstract:
A display device includes; a display panel, a lens substrate facing the display panel, an air layer disposed between the display panel and the lens substrate, and a light refraction portion disposed on a surface of the lens substrate facing the display panel, wherein an average refractive index of the light refraction portion taken along a plane substantially parallel to the display panel increases in a direction substantially parallel to a path of light from the display panel to the lens substrate.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a barrier part, a display panel driver and a barrier driver. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels. The barrier part is disposed on the display panel. The barrier part generates N viewpoint images using a plurality of barriers selectively transmitting and blocking a light. N is a natural number. The display panel driver provides image data to the display panel. The barrier driver controls the barrier part such that the different barriers have transmitting statuses in a first subframe and a second subframe.

Abstract:
A two-dimensional/three-dimensional switchable display apparatus includes: a display panel; a first substrate disposed on the display panel; a first electrode layer disposed on the first substrate and including a plurality of first electrodes; a second substrate disposed on the first substrate; a second electrode layer disposed on the second substrate and including a plurality of second electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates. A plurality of lens units are formed in association with a first position of the liquid crystal layer when a lens forming voltage profile is applied to the first electrodes and a common voltage is applied to the second electrodes. When the common voltage is applied to the first electrodes and the lens forming voltage is applied to the second electrodes, the plurality of lens units are formed in association with a second position spaced apart from the first position.
