Abstract

A three-dimensional display device includes an image display panel that has an alignment mark and a parallax formation panel that has an alignment mark and separates a left-eye image and a right-eye image displayed on the image display panel to enable autostereoscopic vision. At least one of the image display panel and the parallax formation panel has a pair of substrates placed on top of each other, and the alignment mark is formed between the pair of substrates.

Claims (20)

1. A three-dimensional display device comprising:

an image display panel that has an alignment mark; and

a parallax formation panel that has an alignment mark and separates a left-eye image and a right-eye image displayed on the image display panel to enable autostereoscopic vision, wherein

at least one of the image display panel and the parallax formation panel has a pair of substrates placed on top of each other, and the alignment mark is formed between the pair of substrates so as to be visually recognized by light passing through the pair of substrates, wherein the alignment mark appears on the surface of another substrate.

2. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the image display panel is a liquid crystal display panel, and has the pair of substrates and a black matrix layer formed on one of the substrates, and

a notch as the alignment mark is formed at a portion of the black matrix layer.

3. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 2 , further comprising a sealing material that seals a space between the pair of substrates of the image display panel, wherein

the sealing material of the image display panel overlaps with the notch formed in the black matrix layer.

4. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the parallax formation panel is a parallax barrier liquid crystal panel and has the pair of substrates.

5. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 4 , further comprising a sealing material that seals a space between the pair of substrates of the parallax formation panel, wherein

the sealing material of the parallax formation panel overlaps with the alignment mark.

6. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a polarizer is bonded to an outer surface of at least one of the pair of substrates so as to avoid an edge portion of the outer surface, and

the alignment mark of the image display panel and the alignment mark of the parallax formation panel are arranged to face the edge portion of the outer surface so as not overlap with the polarizer.

7. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a frame that is bonded to one of the image display panel and the parallax formation panel with a light-shielding double-faced tape, wherein

the alignment mark of the image display panel and the alignment mark of the parallax formation panel are arranged at a position overlapping with the light-shielding double-faced tape.

8. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment mark of the image display panel and the alignment mark of the parallax formation panel enable alignment of the image display panel with the parallax formation panel with one another.

9. The three-dimensional display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image display panel has the pair of substrates placed on top of each other, and the parallax formation panel has the another substrate.
