Abstract:
1. An electronic stereoscopic three-dimensional display device that is configured to display images sequentially as a plurality of discrete image sections which are to be observed by a user with polarizing eyewear, comprising: an impulse backlight configured to independently illuminating each of said plurality of image sections, wherein a given image section is a segmented subset of a corresponding image; a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel configured to independently loading and holding image data for each of said plurality of image sections; a liquid crystal (LC) modulator configured to independently polarizing image data for each of said plurality of image sections with a plurality of polarizations, a first of said plurality of polarizations corresponding to a left eye image and a second of said plurality of polarizations corresponding to a right eye image; and a controller configured to control said impulse backlight, said LCD panel and said LC modulator; wherein, during a first time period, for a first of said image sections, said impulse backlight is enabled, said LCD panel is controlled to hold data corresponding to said left eye image, and said LC modulator is controlled to polarize according to said first of said polarizations; wherein, during said first time period, for a second of said image sections, said impulse backlight is disabled, and said LCD panel is controlled to load data corresponding to said left eye image; wherein, during a second time period, for said first of said image sections, said impulse backlight is disabled; wherein, during said second time period, for said second of said image sections, said impulse backlight is enabled, said LCD panel is controlled to hold data corresponding to said left eye image and said LC modulator is controlled to polarize according to said first of said polarizations; and wherein, by sequentially displaying said plurality of discrete image sections, said electronic stereoscopic three-dimensional display device presents said images to said user at a frame rate exceeding a flicker fusion rate of a human eye.
