Abstract:
1. A method for displaying three dimensional (3D) images, the method comprising the steps of: selectively determining a left eye viewing envelope and a right eye viewing envelope; selectively determining a first set of light emitting diodes and a second set light emitting diodes from a plurality of light emitting diodes based on the left eye viewing envelope and the right eye viewing envelope; controlling a backlight to sequentially alternate between activating the first set of light emitting diodes of the backlight and activating a second set of light emitting diodes of the backlight based on the left eye viewing envelope and the right eye viewing envelope; and controlling a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel synchronously with the backlight in order to selectively pass or block portions of the light produced by the backlight in order to produce one or more left eye image frames in the left eye viewing envelope and one or more right eye image frames in the right eye viewing envelope.
