Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional display device comprising: a phantom three-dimensional display device for displaying a phantom three-dimensional image comprised of an aggregation of depth sampled images in a depth direction; and a shutter device having a plurality of shutter elements for controlling a light transmittance of the displayed phantom three-dimensional image and having control means for controlling selection of the shutter elements, wherein the shutter elements are arranged such that a position of each shutter element is consistent with a position at a portion of the phantom image in the depth direction; wherein a plurality of the shutter elements are controlled at the same time such that each shutter element is set to an opening state or a closing state partially at one moment, and wherein one portion of the phantom image according to a position of the shutter element in the depth direction becomes a transparent state partially when the shutter element is set to the opening state partially and another portion of the phantom image according to a position of the shutter element in the depth direction becomes a non-transparent state partially when the shutter element is set to the closing state partially.
