THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING ELEMENTAL IMAGES TO THE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE ON THE DISPLAY APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus is provided with a display unit and a optical filter. The unit has pixels arranged in a matrix form, which are groped into a first group and second groups to display two-dimensional image information constituting elemental images, the image information being obtained from different directions. The optical filter has a first optical opening opposed to the first pixel group and second optical openings opposed to corresponding one of the second pixel groups. The center of the first pixel group is coincident with the axis of the first opening, each center of the second pixel groups is deviated from corresponding one of the second opening axe, and the deviation is gradually increased depending on a distance between the first and the second pixel group centers. The light rays are directed to a reference plane from the first and second pixel groups through the first and second opening axes.
