STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401109 titled 'STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a display device that can show both 2D and 3D images using different polarized light directions.
- Light transmission control unit passes 2D image light in one polarized direction and converts the polarized direction of 3D image light into another polarized direction.
- Optical device maintains the optical paths of 2D image light while refracting and emitting 3D image light in the converted polarized direction.
- The device allows for the display of both 2D and 3D images on the same display panel.
Potential Applications: - Entertainment industry for enhanced viewing experiences. - Medical imaging for detailed visualization of 3D structures. - Education sector for interactive learning environments.
Problems Solved: - Providing a display device capable of showing both 2D and 3D images effectively. - Enhancing user experience with versatile display options.
Benefits: - Improved visual quality for viewers. - Versatile display capabilities for various industries. - Enhanced user engagement and interaction.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Enhanced Viewing Experiences This technology can be used in: - Gaming consoles - Virtual reality headsets - Medical imaging equipment
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between 2D and 3D images for display? The light transmission control unit converts the polarized light direction based on the type of image being displayed. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a larger scale? Scaling up the technology for commercial applications may require additional optimization and cost considerations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel displaying a two-dimensional (2D) image and a three-dimensional (3D) image. A light transmission control unit passes 2D image display light displayed on the display panel in a first linearly polarized light direction and converts a polarized light direction of 3D image display light displayed on the display panel into a second linearly polarized light direction and emits the 3D image display light in the second linearly polarized light direction. An optical device passes the 2D image display light incident in the first linearly polarized light direction through the light transmission control unit while maintaining optical paths of the 2D image display light and refracting and emitting the 3D image display light of which the polarized light direction is converted into the second linearly polarized light direction through light transmission control unit.
