Abstract

A display device including: an image display section in which unit pixels each composed of a plurality of sub-pixels corresponding to a plurality of colors are arranged; and an optical element having a window section allocating light emitted from the image display section in units of the sub-pixels to a plurality of viewpoints, wherein a color arrangement of the sub-pixels of the image display section or an arrangement of the window section of the optical element is set such that, when the image display section is viewed from each of the plurality of viewpoints, in an arrangement of colors of light allocated by the window section of the optical element, a same color is not arranged linearly in a predetermined number of sub-pixels or more in succession in any of a row direction, a column direction, and an oblique direction.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

an image display section in which a plurality of RGB sub-pixels are arranged; and

an optical element allocating light emitted from the image display section of the RGB sub-pixels to a plurality of viewpoints,

wherein the optical element is controlled such that each RGB sub-pixel is associated with a respective viewpoint, and a color of each RGB sub-pixel in a respective viewpoint is different from a color of an adjacent RGB sub-pixel in the respective viewpoint in both a row direction and a column direction.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image display section displays a plurality of images with parallax.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is a parallax barrier, a lenticular lens, or a liquid crystal lens.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element has a window section which is arranged in an oblique direction.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is parallax barrier, and a step barrier arrangement or a delta arrangement is a form of transmitting sections of the parallax barrier.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein when the transmitting sections of the parallax barrier are in the step barrier arrangement, steps of the step barrier arrangement are arranged so as to be discontinuous.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element provides a plurality of images displayed by the image display section three-dimensionally to an image observer.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element provides a plurality of images displayed by the image display section separately to a plurality of image observers.

9. A display device comprising:

an image display section in which a plurality of RGB sub-pixels are arranged; and

an optical element allocating light emitted from the image display section of the RGB sub-pixels to a plurality of viewpoints, wherein

a color arrangement of the sub-pixels of the image display section or an arrangement of the optical element is set such that, when the image display section is viewed from each of the plurality of viewpoints, in an arrangement of colors of light allocated by the optical element, a same color is not arranged linearly in a predetermined number of sub-pixels or more in succession in any of a row direction, a column direction, and an oblique direction.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the image display section displays a plurality of images with parallax.

11. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the optical element is a parallax barrier, a lenticular lens, or a liquid crystal lens.

12. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the optical element has a window section which is arranged in an oblique direction.

13. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the optical element is a parallax barrier, and a step barrier arrangement or a delta arrangement is a form of transmitting sections of the parallax barrier.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein when the transmitting sections of the parallax barrier are in the step barrier arrangement, steps of the step barrier arrangement are arranged so as to be discontinuous.

15. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the optical element provides a plurality of images displayed by the image display section three-dimensionally to an image observer.

16. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element provides a plurality of images displayed by the image display section separately to a plurality of image observers.

17. A display device comprising:

an image display section in which a plurality of RGB sub-pixels are arranged; and

an optical element allowing a viewer at a plurality of viewpoints to view colors of the RGB sub-pixels,

wherein the RGB sub-pixels are arranged on the image display section such that, each RGB sub-pixel is associated with a respective viewpoint, and a color of each RGB sub-pixels in the respective viewpoint is different from a color of an adjacent RGB sub-pixel in the respective viewpoint in both a row direction and a column direction.
