Abstract

A grayscale driving method for three-dimensional (3D) shutter glasses is provided herein and comprises steps of: for every two frames as a cycle, sequentially inputting a first signal and a second signal into a first glass and a second glass, and the polarities of the first signal and the second signal in the cycle are the same; changing the polarities of the first signal and the second signal when the cycle transits into a next cycle; and respectively inputting a third signal and a fourth signal into the first glass and the second glass during the cycle to adjust the gamma voltages of the first signal and the second signal in the first glass and the second glass.

Claims (21)

1. A grayscale driving method for three-dimensional (3D) shutter glasses, comprising:

for every two frames as a cycle, sequentially inputting a first signal and a second signal into a first glass and a second glass in one cycle, and polarities of the first signal and the second signal in the cycle are the same;

changing the polarities of the first signal and the second signal when the cycle transits into a next cycle; and

respectively inputting a third signal and a fourth signal into the first glass and the second glass during the cycle to respectively adjust gamma voltages of the first signal and the second signal in the first glass and the second glass;

wherein the third signal and the fourth signal respectively adjust the gamma voltages of the first signal and the second signal in accordance with a gamma curve.

2. The grayscale driving method according to claim 1 , wherein the first signal and the second signal are image grayscale signals for providing images in the first glass and the second glass, and the third signal and the fourth signal are programmable-gamma (P-gamma) signals for dynamically adjusting the gamma voltages of the first signal and the second signal.

3. A 3D shutter glasses, comprising:

a first glass for receiving left eye images;
