Abstract:
1. A display device configured for displaying three-dimensional images comprising: a display panel having a plurality of display unit cells disposed as a matrix in the form of rows and columns of successive ones of the unit cells, the successive unit cells being spaced apart one from a successive next with opaque areas disposed between the spaced apart successive unit cells, wherein a first pitch between successive unit cells in each row is ‘a’ and a second pitch between successive unit cells in each column is ‘b’; and an image-converting element disposed on the display panel and including a plurality of elongated lenticular lenses, each of the lenticular lenses having a longitudinal lens axis inclied with respect to the rows and columns of the matrix wherein the inclination of the lens axis is expressed as a ratio between a first distance, x in a first direction and a second distance, y in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein x is an integer multiple, m of the first pitch ‘a’ and y is an integer multiple, n of the second pitch ‘b’, wherein the respective multiples m and n are each greater than one, and wherein each of the lenticular lenses has a plurality of regularly spaced apart view point lines respectively associated therewith and projected as so regularly spaced onto the matrix of the underlying display panel, where the view point lines are inclined to be parallel to the longitudinal lens axis, and wherein each respective one of the view point lines passes through central points of respective and plural ones of the unit cells, and passes through the respective opaque areas disposed between the unit cells, wherein each respective one of the viewpoint lines passes a central portion of the opaque area defined between vertically successive unit cells.
