Description
- This application claims priority to Taiwan Patent Application Serial Number 98107430, filed Mar. 6, 2009, which is herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to a displaying apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a 2D/3D image displaying apparatus.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- For a conventional display for displaying three-dimensional (3D) images, it usually produces binocular disparity by temporally or spatially multiplexing left and right views. However, temporally multiplexing views easily causes images to flicker, and spatially multiplexing views easily causes resolution of images to deteriorate.
- On the other hand, for a conventional display for displaying two-dimensional (2D) images, in order to solve problems about viewing angles, a liquid crystal display with multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA) technique is developed. In the MVA liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal area is divided into multiple areas so that liquid crystal molecules incline to multiple directions to increase viewing angles of the liquid crystal display.

FIG. 1 illustrates a two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) image displaying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The 2D/3Dimage displaying apparatus 100 includes a plurality of data lines (e.g. D1, D2, . . . ), a plurality of scan lines (e.g. G1, G2, . . . ), adata driving circuit 102, agamma circuit 104 and apixel array 110, in which thepixel array 110 is defined by intersecting the data lines D1, D2, . . . and the scan lines G1, G2, . . . , and thegamma circuit 104 is configured for transmitting gamma signals to thedata driving circuit 102, so as to drive thepixel array 110 through the data lines D1, D2, . . . by thedata driving circuit 102, such that thepixel array 110 displays images according to data transmitted through the data lines D1, D2, . . . . - In the present embodiment, the
pixel array 110 includes a plurality ofpixels 111, and each of thepixels 111 includes a plurality ofsub-pixels 112 which can be red, green or blue. In addition, eachsub-pixel 112 includes afirst portion 112 a and asecond portion 112 b, and thefirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b of thesub-pixel 112 are separately coupled to the corresponding data lines and coupled to the corresponding scan line together. Specifically, inFIG. 1 , thefirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b of thesub-pixel 112 at the 1st column and 1st row are separately coupled to the corresponding data lines D1 and D2 and also coupled to the corresponding scan line G1 together. For thesub-pixel 112 on the same row and adjacent to thesub-pixel 112 at the 1st column and 1st row, itsfirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b are separately coupled to the corresponding data lines D3 and D4 and also coupled to the corresponding scan line G1 together. For thesub-pixel 112 on the same column and adjacent to thesub-pixel 112 at the 1st column and 1st row, itsfirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b are separately coupled to the corresponding data lines D1 and D2 and coupled to the corresponding scan line G2 together. The rest ofsub-pixels 112 may be deduced by analogy. Therefore, it can be seen that eachsub-pixel 112 is coupled to two data lines and one scan line. Moreover, in one embodiment, a ratio of the size of thefirst portion 112 a to the size of thesecond portion 112 b is approximately 1:1. However, persons skilled in the art can adjust the ratio in practice. - When the 2D/3D
image displaying apparatus 100 displays 2D images, thegamma circuit 104 transmits gamma signals to thedata driving circuit 102 such that thedata driving circuit 102 separately and dependently drives thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b of eachsub-pixel 112 through the data lines D1, D2, . . . . Specifically, when 2D images are displayed, thegamma circuit 104 transmits different gamma signals having dependent relationships therebetween to thedata driving circuit 102, such that thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b of each sub-pixel 112 are driven by thedata driving circuit 102, resulting in that the correspondingfirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b display images with different illumination. For example, when the sub-pixel 112 is about to display the image having a certain gray level, thegamma circuit 104 would transmit different but matching gamma signals to thedata driving circuit 102, such that gray-level images displayed by thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b are just matched to be the gray-level images which the sub-pixel 112 is about to display, even if thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b display different gray-level images. - On the other hand, when the 2D/3D
image displaying apparatus 100 displays 3D images, thegamma circuit 104 transmits gamma signals to thedata driving circuit 102 such that thedata driving circuit 102 separately and independently drives thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b of each sub-pixel 112 through the data lines D1, D2, . . . . Specifically, when 3D images are displayed, thegamma circuit 104 transmits a single gamma signal to thedata driving circuit 102, such that thefirst portion 112 a and thesecond portion 112 b of each sub-pixel 112 are driven by thedata driving circuit 102, resulting in that the correspondingfirst portion 112 a andsecond portion 112 b display different and independent gray-level images. - The 2D/3D
image displaying apparatus 100 further includes a patternedoptical phase retarder 120 which is selectively arranged corresponding to thefirst portions 112 a or thesecond portions 112 b of the sub-pixels 112, so as to modulate the light passing through thefirst portions 112 a or thesecond portions 112 b. In the present embodiment, the patternedoptical phase retarder 120 is exemplarily arranged corresponding to thefirst portions 112 a of each row of the sub-pixels 112, as shown inFIG. 1 , so as to modulate the light passing through thefirst portions 112 a, such that thefirst portions 112 a can produce different polarization from that of thesecond portions 112 b and display desired images. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. The 2D/3Dimage displaying apparatus 200 includes asplitter 202, timingcontrollers drivers display panel 208 and agamma circuit 210, in which thedisplay panel 208 can include the data lines, scan lines and pixel array as shown inFIG. 1 , and the timingcontrollers drivers splitter 202 transmits the processed signals to the timingcontrollers drivers controllers display panel 208 according to the processed signals received from the timingcontrollers gamma circuit 210, respectively, such that thedisplay panel 208 is capable of displaying 2D images with a frequency of 120 Hz without causing color wash-out problems. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram of the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. The 2D/3Dimage displaying apparatus 300 includes amixer 302, asplitter 304, timingcontrollers drivers display panel 310 and agamma circuit 312, in which thedisplay panel 310 can include the data lines, scan lines and pixel array as shown inFIG. 1 , the timingcontrollers drivers gamma circuit 312 can be the same as thegamma circuit 210 as shown inFIG. 2 . After receiving and superimposing a left-eye and right-eye video signal with full high definition (FHD) and a frequency of 60 Hz, themixer 302 transmits the processed signals to thesplitter 304. Then, after receiving and distributing the signal from themixer 302, thesplitter 304 transmits the processed signals to the timingcontrollers drivers controllers display panel 310 according to the processed signals received from the timingcontrollers gamma circuit 312, such that the first portions and second portions of the sub-pixels in thedisplay panel 310 are capable of respectively displaying left-eye and right-eye 3D images with frequency of 60 Hz, for users wearing polarized glasses to view the 3D images displayed on thedisplay panel 310, without causing resolution of 3D images to deteriorate. -
FIG. 3A illustrates the switch of gamma signals outputted by the gamma circuit operating under 2D and 3D image modes according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 3A , when the gamma circuit operates under the 2D image mode, the gamma circuit outputs different gamma signals A and B having dependent relationships therebetween, such that the driving circuit can separately drive thefirst portions 112 a and thesecond portions 112 b of the sub-pixels 112 according to the different gamma signals A and B, and thefirst portions 112 a and thesecond portions 112 b of the sub-pixels 112 display the images corresponding to the gamma signals A and B having dependent relationships therebetween, to solve color wash-out problems. The gamma signal D represented by the dotted line is equivalent to the ultimately outputted gamma signal (corresponding to the gray-level image on the display screen and viewed by human eyes) after the gamma signals A and B are superimposed. On the contrary, when the gamma circuit operates under the 3D image mode, the gamma circuit outputs single gamma signal C, such that the driving circuit can separately drive thefirst portions 112 a and thesecond portions 112 b of the sub-pixels 112 according to the gamma signal C, and thefirst portions 112 a and thesecond portions 112 b of the sub-pixels 112 separately display different and independent images according to the gamma signal C, to prevent from deteriorating resolution of 3D images. - In other words, when the display device operates under 2D and 3D image mode respectively, the switch between 2D and 3D image modes can be performed by using a programmable gamma circuit or gamma IC to transmit required gamma signals corresponding to 2D or 3D images to the driving circuit, for the display device to display 2D or 3D images.
- On the other hand, for the timing controllers shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , they transmit timing control signals with different frequencies to the driving circuit when 2D and 3D images are displayed respectively, so as to control the driving circuit. In one embodiment, the frequency of the timing control signal transmitted by the timing controller when the 2D image is displayed is larger than the frequency of the timing control signal transmitted when the 3D image is displayed. Taking the embodiments inFIGS. 2 and 3 for example, the timing control signal transmitted by the timing controller when the 2D image is displayed is two times the frequency of the timing control signal transmitted when the 3D image is displayed. As a result, the displaying apparatus can separately display 2D images with frequency of 120 Hz or 3D images with frequency of 60 Hz by being switched to operate with different frequencies. - Moreover, in another embodiment, the foregoing
splitter 304 further can transmit the processed signals to the timingcontrollers display panel 310 separately display the corresponding portions of the multi-view image, for viewers with naked eyes to view the displayed 3D images on thedisplay panel 310. Therefore, the foregoing embodiments inFIGS. 2 and 3 are employed with different data streaming manners to respectively transmit different frame data to different regions of each sub-pixel, to further achieve the effect of enhancing resolution of images. - Thus, when the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus in the embodiment of the present invention has the display panel shown in
FIG. 1 , the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus can include the circuits shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 and can switch when displaying 2D or 3D image, so as to process the 2D or 3D image data. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a pixel array according to another embodiment of the present invention. Compared toFIG. 1 , thepixel array 410 includes a plurality ofpixels 411, each of which further includes a plurality ofsub-pixels 412, and each sub-pixel 412 includes afirst portion 412 a and asecond portion 412 b, in which a ratio of the size of thefirst portion 412 a to the size of thesecond portion 412 b can be approximately 1:1, in which persons skilled in the art can adjust the ratio in practice, and thefirst portion 412 a and thesecond portion 412 b can be separately coupled to the corresponding scan lines and coupled to the corresponding data line together. - Specifically, in
FIG. 4 , thefirst portion 412 a and thesecond portion 412 b of the sub-pixel 412 at the 1st column and 1st row are separately coupled to the corresponding scan lines G1 and G2 and coupled to the corresponding data line D1 together. For the sub-pixel 412 on the same column and adjacent to the sub-pixel 412 at the 1st column and 1st row, itsfirst portion 412 a andsecond portion 412 b are separately coupled to the corresponding scan lines G3 and G4 and also coupled to the corresponding data line D1 together. For the sub-pixel 412 on the same row and adjacent to the sub-pixel 412 at the 1st column and 1st row, itsfirst portion 412 a andsecond portion 412 b are separately coupled to the corresponding scan lines G1 and G2 and coupled to the corresponding data line D2 together. The rest ofsub-pixels 412 may be deduced by analogy. Therefore, it can be seen that each sub-pixel 412 is coupled to two scan lines and one data line. - As a result, the
first portions 412 a and thesecond portions 412 b in thepixel array 410 also can be analogous to thefirst portions 112 a and thesecond portions 112 b inFIG. 1 and display corresponding 2D or 3D images according to the driving circuit and its operations. Similarly, the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus 400 can further include a patterned optical phase retarder (not shown) which is selectively arranged corresponding to thefirst portions 412 a or thesecond portions 412 b of the sub-pixels 412, so as to modulate the light passing through thefirst portions 412 a or thesecond portions 412 b. - Based on the concepts in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , a single sub-pixel further can be designed to include a plurality of portions.FIG. 5 illustrates a single sub-pixel according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. The sub-pixel 512 can be red, green or blue. Compared to the sub-pixel inFIGS. 1 and 4 , the sub-pixel 512 in the present embodiment includes a plurality ofportions 516 which are defined by intersecting a plurality of (e.g. M) data lines and a plurality of (e.g. N) scan lines; that is, each sub-pixel 512 is coupled to M data lines and N scan lines and has a plurality ofportions 516, and the sizes of theportions 516 can all be approximately the same. - Notably, although the multiple portions of the sub-pixel shown in
FIGS. 1 , 4 and 5 are exemplarily illustrated as quadrangles, they can be designed as triangles or other shapes in practice by persons skilled in the art and not limited to the shapes illustrated inFIGS. 1 , 4 and 5. - For the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the 2D/3D image displaying apparatus can be employed to not only improve the color wash-out when the displaying apparatus displays 2D images but also enhance resolution of 3D images displayed on the displaying apparatus when the displaying apparatus displays 3D images.
- As is understood by a person skilled in the art, the foregoing embodiments of the present invention are illustrative of the present invention rather than limiting of the present invention. It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
