DISPLAY DEVICE THAT DISPLAYS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) IMAGE AND A TWO-DIMENSIONAL (2D) IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18131206 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE THAT DISPLAYS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) IMAGE AND A TWO-DIMENSIONAL (2D) IMAGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that can switch between displaying 3D and 2D images. It includes a display panel, a switchable lens layer, a resin supply part, and a magnetic field generator.

  • The display panel can show a 3D image in one mode and a 2D image in another mode.
  • The switchable lens layer, made of resin, is placed on top of the display panel.
  • The resin supply part is connected to the switchable lens layer and provides resin to it.
  • When in the 3D mode, the resin moves from the supply part to the lens layer.
  • When in the 2D mode, a magnetic field is applied to the supply part, causing the resin to be stored there.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • 3D displays for entertainment purposes, such as gaming or movies.
  • Medical imaging, where 3D visualization is important for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices, providing immersive experiences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The ability to switch between 3D and 2D modes allows for versatile use of the display device.
  • The use of a switchable lens layer and resin supply part simplifies the switching mechanism.
  • The magnetic field generator provides a convenient way to store the resin when not in 3D mode.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with the ability to view both 3D and 2D content.
  • Simplified design and operation of the display device.
  • Cost-effective solution compared to other methods of achieving 3D and 2D display capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: a display panel displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image in a first mode and displaying a two-dimensional (2D) image in a second mode; a switchable lens layer disposed on the display panel and including a resin; a resin supply part connected to the switchable lens layer and supplying the resin to the switchable lens layer; and a magnetic field generator applying a magnetic field to the resin supply part when in the second mode, wherein the resin moves from the resin supply part to the switchable lens layer when in the first mode and is stored in the resin supply part when in the second mode.
