Abstract

A stereo image displaying method adapted to a polarizing panel is provided. The stereo image displaying method includes the following steps. An original first eye image and the original second eye image are received. Each of the odd pixel data rows of the original first eye image is interpolation operated with at least one of two adjacent even pixel data rows of original the first eye image to serve as one of a plurality of pixel data rows of a first eye image of a display frame. Each of the even pixel data rows of the original second eye image is interpolation operated with at least one of two adjacent odd pixel data rows of the original second eye image to serve as one of a plurality of pixel data rows of a second eye image of the display frame. The display frame is applied on the polarizing panel.

each of the odd pixel data rows of the original first eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of two adjacent even pixel data rows of the original first eye image to serve as one of a plurality of pixel data rows of the first eye image;

each of the even pixel data rows of the original second eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of two adjacent odd pixel data rows of the original second eye image to serve as one of a plurality of pixel data rows of the second eye image;

combining the first eye image with the second eye image to obtain a display frame; and

applying the display frame on the polarizing panel to display the first eye image on the odd pixel row units and the second eye image on the even pixel row units,

wherein the step that each of the odd pixel data rows of the original first eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of two adjacent even pixel data rows of the original first eye image comprises:

a first pixel data in the each of the odd pixel data rows of the original first eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of a second pixel data and a third pixel data adjacent to the first pixel data,

wherein the step that each of the even pixel data rows of the original second eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of two adjacent odd pixel data rows of the original second eye image comprises:

a first pixel data in the each of the even pixel data rows of the original second eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of a second pixel data and a third pixel data adjacent to the first pixel data.

2. The stereo image displaying method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step that each of the odd pixel data rows of the original first eye image being interpolation-operated with at least one of two adjacent even pixel data rows of the original first eye image comprises:
