Abstract

A parallax system that includes a set of pixels disposed in a matrix where each pixel of the set of pixels has transmission portions and reflective portions symmetrically arranged about a pixel center. Further, the parallax system is implemented in a parallax image panel that may be embodied in one of a digital camera, a personal computer, a mobile terminal equipment, a video camera, or a game machine.

Claims (30)

1 . A parallax system, comprising:

a set of pixels disposed in a matrix,

wherein each pixel of the set of pixels has a transmission portion and a reflective portion, and

the transmission portion and the reflective portion are symmetrically arranged about a pixel center.

2 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein the transmission portion and the reflective portion are symmetrically arranged in a row direction about the pixel center.

3 . The parallax system of claim 2 , wherein the transmission portion is a set of two transmission portions that symmetrically boarder in the row direction the reflective portion that is centered on the pixel center.

4 . The parallax system of claim 2 , wherein the reflective portion is a set of two reflective portions that symmetrically boarder in the row direction the transmission portion that is centered on the pixel center.

5 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein the transmission portions and the reflective portions are alternatively arranged in parallel with a row direction of the pixel.

6 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein a total area of the transmission portion is greater than a total area of the reflective portion.

7 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein a backlight provides a luminance source for the transmission portion.

8 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein an outside light provides a luminance source for the reflective portion.

9 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein the parallax system is a parallax barrier system that has a parallax barrier layer disposed on a side opposite a substrate side of the set of pixels disposed in matrix.

10 . The parallax system of claim 9 , wherein the parallax barrier layer comprises a set of blocking portions, and

each blocking portion of the set of blocking portions corresponds to at least one pixel of the set of pixels.

11 . The parallax system of claim 1 , wherein the parallax system is a parallax lens system that has a parallax lens layer disposed on a side opposite a substrate side of the set of pixels disposed in matrix.

12 . The parallax barrier system of claim 11 , wherein the parallax lens layer comprises a set of parallax lenses, and

each parallax lens of the set of parallax lenses corresponds to at least one pixel of the set of pixels.

13 . A parallax image panel, comprising:

a pixel layer including a set of pixels disposed in a matrix, wherein each pixel of the set of pixels has a transmission portion and a reflective portion, and

the transmission portion and the reflective portion are symmetrically arranged about a pixel center.

14 . A device comprising a parallax image panel, including:

a pixel layer including a set of pixels disposed in a matrix, wherein each pixel of the set of pixels has a transmission portion and a reflective portion,

the transmission portion and the reflective portion are symmetrically arranged about a pixel center, and

the device is one of a digital camera, a personal computer, a mobile terminal equipment, a video camera, or a game machine.

15 . A parallax display method, comprising:

disposing a set of pixels in a matrix,

wherein each pixel of the set of pixels has a transmission portion and a reflective portion; and

symmetrically arranging the transmission portion and the reflective portion about a pixel center.

16 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code that when executed by a computer performs a parallax display process in a parallax system including a set of pixels disposed in a matrix, wherein each pixel of the set of pixels has a transmission portion and a reflective portion, the process comprising:

symmetrically selecting, by a computer, the transmission portion and the reflective portion about a pixel center.
