Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display unit configured to display an image for right eye and an image for left eye. Resolution of the display unit is P pixels or more per inch. Pixel shift of the image for right eye and the image for left eye displayed on the display unit is 0.021×P pixels or less and one pixel or more.

Claims (53)

1. A display device comprising:

a display unit configured to display an image for a right eye at a first position on a screen and an image for a left eye at a second position on a screen,

wherein

a binocular parallax is in a range from 2 arc sec to 3 arc min,

resolution of the display unit is P pixels or more per inch,

a distance between the first position and the second position is between one pixel and 0.021×P pixels,

P is 300,

the display unit comprises sub-pixels of red, green, and blue,

two adjacent pixels in a first horizontal line are composed of six sub-pixels aligned in order of red, green, blue, blue, green, and red, and

two adjacent pixels in a second horizontal line adjacent to the first horizontal line are composed of six sub-pixels aligned in order of red, red, green, blue, blue, and green.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a memory configured to store the image for the right eye and the image for the left eye; and

a controller configured to cause the image for the right eye and the image for the left eye to be read from the memory and to be displayed at the first position and the second position on the screen.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an optical element configured to control propagation of light emitted from the display unit to make the image for the right eye incident on an observer's right eye and to make the image for the left eye incident on an observer's left eye.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein

the optical element comprises a lenticular lens, a parallax barrier, or a prism.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a pixel of the display unit comprises sub-pixels of different colors,

the display device further comprises:

a prism arranged for the sub-pixels and configured to control a direction of light emitted from each of the sub-pixels to make the image for the right eye incident on an observer's right eye and to make the image for the left eye incident on an observer's left eye, wherein a shape of the prism is different for the sub pixels of different colors.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein

the prism is formed of a material different in refractive index in accordance with a wavelength of light, and

the shape of the prism corresponds to the refractive index to light emitted from the sub-pixels.

7. A display device comprising:

a display unit configured to display an image for a right eye at a first position on a screen and an image for a left eye at a second position on a screen; and

a prism,

wherein

a binocular parallax is in a range from 2 arc sec to 3 arc min,

resolution of the display unit is P pixels or more per inch,

a pixel of the display unit comprises sub-pixels of different colors,

a distance between the first position and the second position is between one pixel and 0.021×pixels,

P is 300,

the display unit comprises sub-pixels of red, green, and blue,

two adjacent pixels in a first horizontal line are composed of six sub-pixels aligned in order of red, green, blue, blue, green, and red, and

two adjacent pixels in a second horizontal line adjacent to the first horizontal line are composed of six sub-pixels aligned in order of red, red, green, blue, blue, and green.

8. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a memory configured to store the image for the right eye and the image for the left eye; and

a controller configured to cause the image for the right eye and the image for the left eye to be read from the memory and to be displayed at the first position and the second position on the screen.

9. The display device of claim 7 , further comprising:

an optical element configured to control propagation of light emitted from the display unit to make the image for the right eye incident on an observer's right eye and to make the image for the left eye incident on an observer's left eye.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein

the optical element comprises a lenticular lens, a parallax barrier, or a prism.

11. A display device comprising:

a display unit configured to display an image for a right eye at a first position on a screen and an image for a left eye at a second position on a screen,

wherein

a binocular parallax is in a range from 2 arc sec to 3 arc min,

resolution of the display unit is P pixels or more per inch,

a distance between the first position and the second position is between one pixel and 0.021×P pixels,

P is 300,

a pixel of the display unit comprises sub-pixels of different colors, and

the display device further comprises:

a prism arranged for the sub-pixels and configured to control a direction of light emitted from each of the sub-pixels to make the image for the right eye incident on an observer's right eye and to make the image for the left eye incident on an observer's left eye, wherein a shape of the prism is different for the sub pixels of different colors.
