Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display system comprising: a liquid crystal (LC) panel; a backlight unit for illuminating the LC panel or a portion thereof, a controller configured to: control the LC panel to display a first image and a second image forming a stereoscopic image; control the backlight unit to only illuminate the LC panel or the portion thereof during a first period in time after the pixels of the LC panel or the portion thereof have a stable optical state according to the first image, and during a second period in time after the pixels of the LC panel or the portion thereof have a stable optical state according to the second image; and generate a control signal for controlling a first one of a pair of 3D shutter glasses to be in a transmissive state for enabling viewing of the pixels of the LC panel or the portion thereof at least during part of the first period in time and a second one of the pair of 3D shutter glasses to be in the transmissive state for enabling viewing of the pixels of the LC panel or the portion thereof at least during part of the second period in time, wherein each shutter glass of the pair of 3D shutter glasses is in the transmissive state for a period longer than a period that each shutter glass of the pair of 3D shutter glasses is in a non-transmissive state for disabling viewing of the pixels of the LC panel or the portion thereof.
