Display device and method
View Patent ↗Provided is a display method that prevents degradation of image quality due to ghosting. The display method performed with a display apparatus includes a viewpoint position detection step (S 1 ) for detecting a viewpoint position d that is an interval between a reflection screen and a viewer α, a diffusion property control step (S 2 ) for controlling a diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 in accordance with the viewpoint position d, and a projection step for projecting multiple viewpoint video images having disparity from multiple projectors to the reflection screen. The diffusion property control step (S 2 ) includes controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen 40 by varying a voltage or a duty cycle of an ac signal that is applied to a diffuser layer included in the reflection screen.
1. A display method performed with a display apparatus, comprising:
detecting a viewpoint position that is a distance between a reflection screen and a viewer;
controlling a diffusion property of the reflection screen in accordance with the viewpoint position, comprising:
controlling a diffusion angle of the reflection screen based on the distance between the reflection screen and the viewer, wherein the diffusion angle is made narrower for a shorter distance between the reflection screen and the viewer; and
projecting multiple viewpoint video images having disparity from multiple projectors to the reflection screen.
2. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen in accordance with the viewpoint position includes controlling the diffusion property by varying a voltage or a duty cycle of an AC signal that is applied to a diffuser layer included in the reflection screen.
3. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen in accordance with the viewpoint position includes further varying a number of projectors in accordance with the viewpoint position.
4. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the diffusion property of the reflection screen in accordance with the viewpoint position includes controlling, at a viewpoint on the viewpoint position where luminance of one of the projectors is visually recognized to become highest, luminance of another of the projectors adjacent to the one of the projectors to a lower limit luminance capable of being visually recognized by the viewer.
5. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein the viewpoint position is a distance between the reflection screen and a viewer who is at a position that is closest to the reflection screen.
6. A display apparatus that projects multiple viewpoint video images having disparity from multiple projectors to display a three-dimensional image, the display apparatus comprising:
a viewpoint detection unit, including a camera, configured to detect a viewpoint position where a viewer visually recognizes the three-dimensional image;
a reflection screen of which a diffusion property is controlled, wherein a diffusion angle of the reflection screen is controlled based on a distance between the reflection screen and the viewer, wherein the diffusion angle is made narrower for a shorter distance between the reflection screen and the viewer; and
a diffusion property control unit that controls the diffusion property in accordance with the viewpoint position.
