Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel which displays a left eye image and a right eye image; and a light-shielding barrier which has a slit section and a light-shielding section to cause binocular parallax, wherein the liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate which has a pixel electrode formed thereon, a second substrate which is separated from and opposed to the surface of the first substrate which has the pixel electrode formed thereon, and a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the pixel electrode has a plurality of strip-shaped parts which are arranged with intervals therebetween, and an extending direction of the strip-shaped parts is substantially perpendicular to an opening direction of the slit section.

Claims (30)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal panel which displays a left eye image and a right eye image; and

a light-shielding barrier which has a slit section and a light-shielding section to cause binocular parallax,

wherein the liquid crystal panel include

a first substrate which has a pixel electrode formed thereon,

a second substrate which is separated from and opposed to the surface of the first substrate which has the pixel electrode formed thereon, and

a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

the pixel electrode has a plurality of strip-shaped parts which are arranged with intervals therebetween, and

an extending direction of the strip-shaped parts is substantially perpendicular to an opening direction of the slit section.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the display of an image, when a rectangular pixel area is vertically longer, the strip-shaped parts of the pixel electrode extend in a transverse direction of the rectangular shape.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a barrier driving section which forms the stripe slit section and the stripe light-shielding section in the light-shielding barrier, and drives the light-shielding barrier to move the position of the light-shielding section in the light-shielding barrier in accordance with the position of an observer; and

a backlight which makes light rays for displaying the left eye image and the right eye image incident on the liquid crystal panel,

wherein the light-shielding barrier is disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein in the display of an image, the rectangular pixel area is horizontally longer, and

the strip-shaped parts of the pixel electrode extend in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular shape.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal display device which performs display on the basis of an image signal; and

a processor which generates the image signal through a predetermined process,

wherein the liquid crystal display device includes

a liquid crystal panel which displays a left eye image and a right eye image, and

a light-shielding barrier which has a slit section and a light-shielding section to cause binocular parallax,

the liquid crystal panel includes

a first substrate which has a pixel electrode formed thereon,

a second substrate which is separated from and opposed to the surface of the first substrate which has the pixel electrode formed thereon, and

a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

the pixel electrode has a plurality of strip-shaped parts which are arranged with intervals therebetween, and

an extending direction of the strip-shaped parts is substantially perpendicular to an opening direction of the slit section.
