Abstract

The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional video display device using a single image source for background image and object image display, which uses a double Fresnel lens structure, multi-reflector, and half mirror part. In particular, the present invention relates to a 3-dimensional image device with which the problem in prior art of spatial size in obtaining a background image is resolved, and with which a background image of a large display and a 3-dimensional image having an enhanced sense of depth and a large image are displayed simultaneously using only a single image source.

Claims (14)

1. A 3-dimensional image display device, comprising:

an image source supply part split into two or more displays supplying different image sources;

a first lens part for reflecting and refracting a first image source projected by the image source supply part;

a half mirror part for reflecting and refracting the first image source projected from the first lens part and a second image source projected from the image source supply part; and

a second lens part for refracting the first image source and the second image source projected by the half mirror part to form a 3-dimensional image.

2. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 1 , wherein the first image source is an object image, the second image source is a background image, and the 3-dimensional image is a synthetic image of the object image and the background image.

3. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 1 , wherein the first lens part comprises:

a first reflector for reflecting the first image source;

a first Fresnel lens for refracting the first image source reflected from the first reflector; and

a second reflector and a third reflector, joined perpendicularly, for reflecting the first image source refracted from the Fresnel lens towards the half mirror part.

4. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 3 , wherein the first lens part is positioned between the second reflector and the third reflector and further comprises a third Fresnel lens for refracting the first image source.

5. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 3 , wherein the second lens part further comprises a fourth Fresnel lens for refracting the first image source and second image source to adjust the size and position of a 3-dimensional image.

6. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 1 , wherein the second lens part comprises a second Fresnel lens for refracting the first image source and the second image source.

7. The 3-dimensional image display device of claim 1 , wherein the image source supply part is split into a matrix form of four or more displays supplying different image sources, each of the split displays supplying an object image or a background image.
