Claim Text:
1. A three-dimensional image processing apparatus comprising: a display configured to display a left eye image and a right eye image to create a perceived three-dimensional view; a three-dimensional image filter positioned a prescribed distance relative to the display for adjusting the perceived three-dimensional view of the left and right eye images; a camera to detect a position of a user; and a controller configured to adjust the three-dimensional image filter or a position of the left or right eye images based on the detected position of the user, wherein the three-dimensional image filter includes a plurality of translucent regions and a plurality of opaque regions, the positions of the plurality of translucent and opaque region being adjustable along a length of the three-dimensional image filter, wherein the controller generates a first perceived three-dimensional view based on a first relative position of the translucent and opaque regions to the position of the left and right images and the detected position of the user, determines a second relative position of the translucent and opaque regions to the position of the left and right images and the detected position of the user, and generates a second perceived three-dimensional view based on the second relative position of the translucent and opaque regions, wherein the three-dimensional image filter includes a lens positioned to correspond to a prescribed number of the translucent and opaque regions, and wherein the controller controls a voltage applied to a plurality of electrodes to adjust a refractive index of a liquid crystal in order to form the lens, the electrodes corresponding to one of the translucent or opaque regions.
