Abstract:
1. A stereoscopic display device comprising: a display device comprising red, green and blue pixels arranged in a lateral direction in the same row alternatively, the pixels being disposed within a display plane; a beam controlling element disposed in front of the display device and having one of a plurality of apertures or a plurality of lenses having an optical opening portion extending linearly in a vertical direction, the controlling element controlling beam directions from the pixels to form elemental images corresponding to the respective apertures or lenses of the beam controlling element; means for, by an effective pixel with a generally square shape comprising 6n×18n (n=1, 2, 3, . . . ) pixels arranged in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction, applying the same parallax image information to 3n pixels arranged in a straight line in the same vertical direction as an extending direction of the opening portion of the beam controlling element and in the same position in a horizontal direction to display image signals as the total of 36n parallaxes at a stereoscopic image display time; and means for, by an effective pixel with a generally square shape comprising 3 pixels of red, green and blue arranged laterally, ignoring a lateral positional deviation by ⅙ an effective pixel width and regarding the effective pixel as a square arrangement to display image signals at a flat image display time where the beam controlling element has been detached or a function thereof has been invalidated, wherein:
