Abstract

A display device of the present invention is capable of reducing stereoscopic image noise to improve the quality of a three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The display device includes a display panel having a plurality of pixels provided therein and displaying an image, a lenticular sheet provided on the display panel and having a plurality of first cylindrical lenses arranged on one surface and a second cylindrical lens for focusing light arranged on the other surface, and a backlight assembly provided below the display panel and emitting light to the display panel.

Claims (27)

1 . A display device comprising:

a display panel having a plurality of pixels provided therein and displaying an image;

a lenticular sheet provided on the display panel and having a plurality of first cylindrical lenses arranged on one surface and a second cylindrical lens for focusing light arranged on the other surface; and

a backlight assembly provided below the display panel and emitting light to the display panel, wherein the first cylindrical lenses and the second cylindrical lens are arranged such that a lens axes thereof are parallel to each other.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius of the second cylindrical lens is decreased as a distance from the center of the lens axis is increased.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel faces the second cylindrical lens.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second cylindrical lens is a convex lens.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second cylindrical lens is a Fresnel lens.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the shape of each of the first cylindrical lenses and a shape of the second cylindrical lens in a cross-sectional view form a portion of a circle.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius of the second cylindrical lens is larger than that of the first cylindrical lens.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the lenticular sheet includes one second cylindrical lens that overlaps all of the plurality of first cylindrical lenses.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first cylindrical lens and the second cylindrical lens is a liquid lens.

10 . A display device comprising:

a display panel having a plurality of pixels provided therein and displaying an image;

a lenticular sheet provided on the display panel and having a plurality of first cylindrical lenses arranged on one surface;

a lens sheet provided between the lenticular sheet and the display panel, wherein the lens sheet has a second cylindrical lens for focusing light arranged on one surface; and

a backlight assembly provided below the display panel and emitting light to the display panel, wherein the first cylindrical lenses and the second cylindrical lens are arranged such that a lens axes thereof are parallel to each other.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein a curvature radius of the second cylindrical lens is decreased as a distance from the center of the lens axis is increased.

12 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the display panel faces the second cylindrical lens.

13 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the second cylindrical lens is a convex lens.

14 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein a convex surface of the second cylindrical lens faces the lenticular sheet.

15 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the second cylindrical lens is a Fresnel lens.

16 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein a shape of each of the first cylindrical lenses and the shape of the second cylindrical lens in a cross-sectional view form a portion of a circle.

17 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein a curvature radius of the second cylindrical lens is larger than that of the first cylindrical lens.

18 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the lenticular sheet includes one second cylindrical lens that overlaps all of the plurality of first cylindrical lenses.

19 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first cylindrical lens and the second cylindrical lens is a liquid lens.

20 . The display device of claim 19 , wherein at least one of the lenticular sheet and the lens sheet is a lens array substrate on which the liquid lenses are arranged in an array pattern
