Abstract:
A stereoscopic image display apparatus for displaying a three dimensional image on a screen of a display panel, comprising:a three dimensional video signal processor for converting an analog three dimensional video signal to a digital three dimensional video signal, said three dimensional video signal processor comprising: an analog-to-digital converter for converting said analog video signal to said digital video signal; a first memory device for storing an odd field of said digital video signal, said odd field corresponding to a right image; a second memory device for storing an even field of said digital video signal, said even field corresponding to a left image; and a multiplexer for multiplexing the odd and even fields respectively output from said first and second field memory devices to generate said digital three dimensional video signal; a micropolarizer attached to said display panel, said micropolarizer being composed of a plurality of first polarizing regions having a first polarizing direction and a plurality of second polarizing regions having a second polarizing direction perpendicular to said first polarizing direction, said first and second polarizing regions being alternately arranged with each other in the form of a matrix to display the left and right images of said digital three dimensional video signal; and polarizing eye glasses having left and right polarizing lenses for separating the left and right images, displayed in the form of a matrix via said micropolarizer, to provide the left image to the left eye of a user and to provide the right image to the right eye of the user.
