Abstract:
1. An alternating-field stereoscopic image display apparatus for displaying a stereoscopic image by alternately displaying right and left parallax image data, comprising: compression means for compressing right and left parallax image data corresponding to one display gate line as one group, using identical compressing and decoding parameters, to produce compressed image data, first storing means for storing the compressed image data corresponding to one display gate line, together with the compressing and decoding parameters, second storing means for storing the compressed image data, for storing one of right and left compressed image data first, and for storing the other of the right and left compressed image data after a predetermined time period, reading and decoding means for reading and decoding the compressed image data stored in the second storing means for each of the right eye and the left eye and corresponding to one display gate line, line-by-line, gradation value conversion means for compensating delay in response of a liquid crystal material by emphasizing a gradation change between compressed image data for a current field and compressed image data for an immediately preceding field two fields constituting a frame, and display means for displaying input parallax image data for the fields corresponding to the right eye and the left eye a plurality of times, as alternating right and left fields, within one frame.
