TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a three-dimensional (3D) display device.
BACKGROUND
With the development of science and technology, people are no longer satisfied with the traditional two-dimensional (2D) image display. The two-view type 3D display technology has become the current compelling science and technology and has important strategic significance in the national economic development and the national security. Currently, users often view 3D images with the aid of external devices such as polarizing glasses, complementary color glasses, liquid crystal shutter glasses and head mounted displays (HMD). In this case, the vision of people's eyes is limited, and hence the users cannot perform other jobs while watching monitors or displays. Therefore, the two-view type glasses-free 3D display technology without external aids is currently hot in research in the display technology field in the world.
Currently, most two-view type glasses-free 3D display technologies are developed on the basis of binocular parallax and mainly includes a grating type 3D display technology. A display applying this kind of technologies is referred to as a grating type 3D display, and the grating type 3D display is formed by disposing a grating on a 2D matrix display panel. The grating may be a parallax barrier grating or a lenticular lens grating. The grating has the function of light splitting and has the function of image separation when applied to the display.
The principle of the grating type two-view 3D display technology is to dispose a grating on a light-entering side or a light-emitting side of a display panel. Due to the light splitting function of the grating, for instance, the left eye of a viewer in front of the display panel can only view odd pixel columns but cannot view even pixel columns while the right eye can only view the even pixel columns and cannot view the odd pixel columns. In this case, a 3D image with depth perception can be finally formed in the human brain by the integration of two images with horizontal parallax, respectively formed by the odd pixel columns and the even pixel columns respectively and viewed by the left eye and the right eye.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, in a display panel 10, RGB sub-pixels include left-eye sub-pixels (indicated as RL, GL and BL respectively) and right-eye sub-pixels (indicated as RR, GR and BR respectively). That is to say, data signals for left-eye images may be input into the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th columns of sub-pixels and data signals for right-eye images may be input into the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th . . . columns of sub-pixels. In this case, by adoption of a parallax barrier grating 201 as illustrated in FIG. 2 which is disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel 10, the left eye of a viewer can only view a pattern as illustrated in FIG. 3 and the right eye of the viewer can only view a pattern as illustrated in FIG. 4, and finally a 3D image can be obtained through the integration of the two patterns in the human brain.
The grating type two-view 3D display technology is glasses-free 3D display technology which is most likely to achieve commercialization at present due to the advantages of simple structure, easy realization, low cost, and the like.
However, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, as the vertically disposed parallax barrier grating 201 divides the image displayed by the display panel into a left-eye image with candy stripes and a right-eye image with candy stripes, so that the 3D image identified by the viewer has candy stripes as illustrated in FIG. 5 inevitably. In this case, as for the viewer, the 3D image viewed by the viewer has strong granular sensation, and hence the viewing comfort can be affected.
SUMMARY
The embodiments of the present invention provide a 3D display device, which can reduce the granular sensation in viewing a 3D image and hence improve the viewing comfort.
One aspect of the present invention provides a 3D display device, which comprises a display panel and a grating disposed on one side of the display panel; the display panel includes a plurality of first display units and a plurality of second display units; the first display units and the second display units are alternately arranged in both a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction of the display panel; the grating includes a plurality of grating units arranged in parallel; an acute angle between each grating unit and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle; and the grating is configured to present a first image displayed by the plurality of first display units and a second image displayed by the plurality of second display units to a left eye and a right eye respectively.
For instance, the predetermined angle may be 60 to 80 degree.
For instance, each first display unit or each second display unit may be a sub-pixel; the sub-pixel includes a first edge a parallel to the transverse direction of the display panel and a second edge b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the display panel; and the predetermined angle is arctan(b/a).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
For more clear understanding of the objectives, technical proposals and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, clear and complete description will be given below to the technical proposals of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the preferred embodiments are only partial embodiments of the present invention but not all the embodiments. All the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts on the basis of the embodiments of the present invention illustrated shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a 3D display device, which comprises a display panel 10 and a grating disposed on one side of the display panel 10. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the display panel 10 includes a plurality of first display units 101 and a plurality of second display units 102; and the first display units 101 and the second display units 102 are alternately arranged in both the transverse direction (TD) and the longitudinal direction (LD) (the row direction and the column direction) of the display panel 10, namely, each first display unit 101 is adjacent to second display units 102 in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction, and correspondingly each second display unit 102 is adjacent to first display unit 101s in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction.
As illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10, the grating includes a plurality of grating units arranged in parallel; the acute angle between each grating unit and the transverse direction of the display panel 10 is a predetermined angle θ; and the grating is configured to present a first image displayed by the plurality of first display units 101 and a second image displayed by the plurality of second display units 102 to the left eye and the right eye of a user.
3D display refers to the image obtained through the integration of a left-eye image and a right-eye image respectively received by the left eye and the right eye. In this case, for instance, the data signals for the left-eye image are input into the plurality of first display units 101 so that the plurality of first display units 101 display the first image as a whole and the first image is identified by the left eye and presented; and the data signals of the right-eye image are input into the plurality of second display units 102 so that the plurality of second display units 102 display the second image as a whole and the second image is identified by the right eye and presented. Finally, the 3D image can be obtained through the integration of the left-eye image and the right-eye image in the human brain when the user views the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
It should be noted that: firstly, when the display panel 10 is a display panel which can achieve display only with an external light source, e.g., an LCD panel, the arrangement of the grating on one side of the display panel may be involve: the grating is disposed on a light-entering side or a light-emitting side of the display panel; and when the display panel 10 is a self-luminous display panel, e.g., an OLED display panel, the arrangement of the grating on one side of the display panel may be that: the grating is disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel.
Secondly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the grating has a periodicity.
Thirdly, the grating may be a parallax barrier grating 201 and may also be a lenticular lens grating 202. As illustrated in FIG. 7 or 8, when the grating is the parallax barrier grating 201, the grating units are grating sheets 201a of the parallax barrier grating 201. On the basis, one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 is formed by a grating sheet 201a and a parallax barrier 201b between the grating sheet and another adjacent grating sheet, and the parallax barrier grating 201 is formed by a plurality of such cycles. As illustrated in FIG. 9 or 10, when the grating is the lenticular lens grating 202, the grating units are lenticular lens 202a of the lenticular lens grating 202. On the basis, one cycle of the lenticular lens grating 202 is formed by one lenticular lens 202a, and the lenticular lens grating 202 is formed by a plurality of tightly arranged lenticular lens 202a. Moreover, one cycle of the lenticular lens grating 202 may also be formed by a separation portion between a lenticular lens 202a and another lenticular lens adjacent to the lenticular lens 202a. 
Fourthly, the 3D display device may be an LCD TV, an LCD, an OLED TV, an OLED display, a mobile phone, a navigator, a pocket PC, an e-book or the like.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a 3D display device, which comprises a display panel and a grating disposed on one side of the display panel; the display panel includes a plurality of first display units and a plurality of second display units; the first display units and the second display units are alternately arranged in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of the display panel; the grating includes a plurality of grating units arranged in parallel; the acute angle between each grating unit and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle; and the grating is configured to present a first image displayed by the plurality of first display units and a second image displayed by the plurality of second display units to the left eye and the right eye of a user.
As illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5, as left-eye sub-pixels and right-eye sub-pixels are alternately arranged in the transverse direction or the longitudinal direction of a display panel and a vertical angle is formed between each grating unit of the grating and the transverse direction or the longitudinal direction of the display panel, an image displayed by the display panel is divided into a left-eye image with continuously-provided candy stripes and a right-eye image with continuously-provided candy stripes, so that a 3D image received by a viewer has continuously-provided candy stripes, and hence the granular sensation is strong when the viewer views the image and the viewing comfort cannot be achieved.
However, in an embodiment of the present invention, as the first display units and the second display units are alternately arranged in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of the display panel, and the acute angle between each grating unit and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle, the first image displayed by the plurality of first display units is received by the left eye and a left-eye image is presented, and the second image displayed by the plurality of second display units is received by the right eye and a right-eye image is presented. Because the left-eye image is obtained by the left eye identifying the first image displayed by the plurality of first display units alternately provided on the display panel as a whole and the right-eye image is obtained by the right eye identifying the second image displayed by the plurality of second display units alternately provided on the display panel on the whole, as illustrated in FIG. 11, when the left-eye image and the right-eye image are integrated together, the viewer cannot view continuously-provided candy stripes, so that the granular sensation when the viewer views the image can be reduced, and hence the comfort can be improved when the viewer views the 3D image without glasses.
Herein, because the acute angle between each grating emit and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle in the embodiment of the present invention, the viewer cannot view the continuously-provided candy stripes after the integration of the first image and the second image respectively viewed by the left eye and the right eye of the viewer. However, when the acute angle is too large or too small, the degree of granular sensation when the viewer views the image is slightly reduced. Therefore, in order to obviously reduce the granular sensation of the image viewed by the viewer, in the embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the predetermined angle θ is 60 to 80 degree.
More preferably, any first display unit 101 or any second display unit 102 may be a sub-pixel (e.g., red, green or blue); the sub-pixel includes a first edge a parallel to the transverse direction of the display panel 10 and a second edge b parallel to the longitudinal direction of the display panel 10; and the predetermined angle θ is arctan(b/a).
In this case, the grating unit with the predetermined angle θ is parallel to a diagonal of the sub-pixel, so that the granular sensation of the image viewed by the viewer can be maximally reduced.
Moreover, the grating may be a parallax barrier grating; or the grating may be a lenticular lens grating.
Because the parallax barrier grating is widely applied currently and has a simple manufacturing process, in one example of the embodiment of the present invention, the grating is a parallax barrier grating 201, and the aperture ratio of the parallax barrier grating 201 is 1⁄3 to 1⁄2. In order to guarantee high brightness of the image viewed by the viewer, the aperture ratio of the parallax barrier grating 201 in the embodiment of the present invention is 1⁄2. Of course, as described above, the grating may also be a lenticular lens grating 202.
As illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the parallax barrier grating 201 includes light shield sections formed by grating sheets 201a and light transmission sections formed by parallax barriers 201b, and the aperture ratio is the ratio of the area of the light transmission sections to the total amount of the area of the light transmission sections and the area of the light shield sections.
On the basis, where the parallax barrier grating 201 is disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the relational formula between the cycle length p of one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 and the length m of one display unit in the cycle length direction can be derived from the optical path diagram of the parallax bather grating 201, namely formula 1:




  p

    ;
  



where “e” refers to the interpupillary distance; “f” refers to the distance from the parallax barrier grating to the light-emitting side of the display panel; and “s” refers to the distance from the human eye to the parallax barrier grating.
When the lenticular lens grating 202 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the display panel, formula 1 is also applicable thereto. No further description will be given to the derivation process of the formula.
Moreover, when the parallax barrier grating 201 is disposed on a light-entering side of the display panel, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the relational formula between the cycle length p of one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 and the length m of one display unit in the cycle length direction can be derived from the optical path diagram of the parallax barrier grating 201, namely formula 2:




  p

where “e” refers to the interpupillary distance; “f” refers to the distance from the parallax barrier grating to the light-emitting side of the display panel; and “t” refers to the distance from the human eye to the light-emitting side of the display unit.
When the lenticular lens grating 202 is disposed on the light-entering side of the display panel, the formula 2 is also applicable thereto. No further description will be given to the derivation process of the formula.
Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 7 or 8, where the parallax barrier grating 201 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the display panel, the cycle length p of one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 can be determined by formula 1; where the parallax barrier grating 201 is disposed on the light-entering side of the display panel, the cycle length p of one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 can be determined by formula 2; and in this way the cycle length p of the parallax barrier grating 201 required for achieving the glasses-free 3D effect can be determined. Moreover, in order to reduce the granular sensation of the 3D image viewed by viewers, the acute angle between the grating unit of the parallax barrier grating 201 and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle θ. Where the value θ is determined, the parallax barrier grating 201 with a fixed cycle length p and a fixed inclination angle of parallax barriers 201b can be obtained.
Similarly, as illustrated in FIG. 9 or 10, where the lenticular lens grating 202 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the display panel, the cycle length p of one cycle of the lenticular lens grating 202 can also be determined by formula 1; where the lenticular lens grating 202 is disposed on the light-entering side of the display panel, the cycle length p of one cycle of the lenticular lens grating 202 can also be determined by the formula 2; and in this way the cycle length p of the lenticular lens grating 202 required for achieving the glasses-free 3D effect can be determined. Moreover, in order to reduce the granular sensation of the 3D image viewed by the viewer, the acute angle between lenticular lens 202a of the lenticular lens grating 202 and the transverse direction of the display panel is a predetermined angle θ. Where the value θ is determined, the lenticular lens grating 202 with a fixed cycle length p and a fixed inclination angle of the lenticular lens 202a can be obtained.
Further description will be given to the 3D display device with reference to the following two embodiments.
Embodiment 1

In addition, the cycle length direction of the parallax barrier grating 201 is parallel to the transverse direction of the display panel; the cycle length of one cycle of the parallax barrier grating 201 is:




  
    p

  ,




and the aperture ratio is 1⁄2.
In this way, a left-eye image as illustrated in FIG. 15 is presented after a first image displayed by the alternately arranged first sub-pixel display units 1011 is received by a left eye; a right-eye image as illustrated in FIG. 16 is presented after a second image displayed by the alternately arranged second sub-pixel display units 1021 is received by a right eye; and the left-eye image and the right-eye image are finally integrated into a 3D image in the human brain, and hence a viewer would not view continuously-provided candy stripes. Therefore, the granular sensation when the viewer views the image can be reduced, and hence the comfort when the viewer views the 3D image without glasses can be improved.
Embodiment 2
The 3D display device may also comprise a display panel 10 and a lenticular lens grating 202 disposed on a light-emitting side of the display panel 10.

            2
          
        
      
    
    .
  




In this way, a left-eye image as illustrated in FIG. 15 is presented after a first image displayed by the alternately arranged first sub-pixel display units 1011 is received by a left eye; a right-eye image as illustrated in FIG. 16 is presented after a second image displayed by the alternately arranged second sub-pixel display units 1021 is received by a right eye; and the left-eye image and the right-eye image are finally integrated into a 3D image in the human brain, and hence a viewer cannot view continuously-provided candy stripes. Therefore, the granular sensation when the viewer views the image can be reduced, and hence the comfort when the viewer views the 3D image without glasses can be improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the 3D display device 10 may further comprise a driver module. The driver module is configured to drive a plurality of first display units 101 to display a first image and a plurality of second display units 102 to display a second image, for instance, to provide first display signals for the plurality of first display units 101 and second display signals for the plurality of second display units 102 simultaneously or alternately.
