Abstract

A display module includes a transparent substrate, a black matrix layer, several light-shielding elements and a phase retardation film. The transparent substrate includes left-eye pixel regions and right-eye pixel regions for respectively displaying left-eye images and right-eye images. Each left-eye pixel region is adjacent to each right-eye pixel region. The black matrix layer is disposed on one side of the transparent substrate and corresponds to each boundary between the left-eye and right-eye pixel regions. The light-shielding elements are disposed on the other side of the transparent substrate and respectively correspond to the boundaries between the left-eye and right-eye pixel regions. The phase retardation film is disposed on the other side of the transparent substrate, and has first-phase retardation regions and second-phase retardation regions with difference phases. Positions of the first-phase and second-phase retardation regions respectively correspond to those of the left-eye and right-eye pixel regions.
