Description:
FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to a light emitting device and a display apparatus, and in particular, to a light emitting device and a display apparatus capable of displaying an image that is visible stereoscopically from all directions. 
     BACKGROUND 
     In the related art, there has been a 3D display technology in which a 3D image is displayed on a flat display which is applied to a television set or the like. The 3D display technology uses binocular parallax between left and right eyes of a person who views a display, for example. Specifically, for example, a left eye image and a right eye image are alternately displayed on the flat display, and only the left eye image is viewed in the left eye and only the right eye image is viewed in the right eye using a polarizing filter or the like disposed therebetween, to thereby realize stereoscopic vision. 
     On the other hand, there have been proposed a variety of omni-directional 3D image display apparatuses which use a plurality of images (hereinafter, referred to as a viewpoint image) having different viewpoints captured (or generated in consideration of a case where an object is viewed over the entire periphery thereof by computer graphics) from a plurality of viewpoints disposed on the circumference around the object and perform a display so that the object can be stereoscopically viewed from an arbitrary direction of the entire periphery (for example, refer to JP-A-2004-177709 or JP-A-2005-114771). 
     In such omni-directional 3D image display apparatuses, display sections having a multiplicity of small LEDs (light emitting diode) or the like are arranged inside a cylindrical casing, the casing is formed with slits, and images of the display sections can be viewed from the outside of the casing through the slits. Further, as the casing rotates at high speed, the images of the display sections can be stereoscopically viewed by the user who views a side surface of the cylindrical casing in an arbitrary direction. 
     SUMMARY 
     As described above, since the images in the display sections installed inside the casing are viewed through the slits formed on the casing in the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus, the LEDs which form the display sections should have a high directional characteristic toward the slits. 
     However, in the related art, there has not been established a method of focusing the irradiation directions of the small LEDs which form the display sections in a predetermined direction, that is, of enhancing the directional characteristic. Accordingly, if the display sections are configured by using a large number of LEDs in the related art, since light usage efficiency deteriorates and power conservation is counteracted, it is necessary to develop a technique for adjusting the directional characteristic of the LEDs. 
     Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a light emitting device and a display apparatus which are capable of adjusting the directional characteristic of a light emitting device such as an LED. 
     An embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a light emitting device including: a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; and a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip. Here, the center of the light emitting chip and the center of the resin lens are offset so that the centers do not match each other. 
     The resin lens may be formed in the form of a circle having the same aspect ratio in an X direction on the substrate and in a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     The resin lens may be formed in the form of an ellipse having different aspect ratios in an X direction on the substrate and in a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     The light emitting device may further include a mask having a plurality of holes. 
     The mask may cover an area other than the resin lens. 
     The mask may be formed of a black matte metal. 
     The mask may be processed so that the surface thereof has low reflectivity. 
     The mask may be processed so that a wall surface of the hole has high reflectivity. 
     The mask may be formed so that a cross-sectional shape of a lower layer thereof is narrower than that of an upper layer thereof. 
     The mask may be formed so that a cross-sectional shape of a lower layer thereof is wider than that of an upper layer thereof. 
     Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a display apparatus in which a plurality of light emitting devices are arrayed. The light emitting device includes a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; and a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip. Here, the center of the light emitting chip and the center of the resin lens are offset so that the centers do not coincide with each other. 
     Still another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a light emitting device including: a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip; and a reflector which reflects irradiation light from the light emitting chip. Here, the reflector has different reflection characteristics in an X direction on the substrate and a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     Yet another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a display apparatus in which a plurality of light emitting devices are arrayed. The light emitting device includes a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip; and a reflector which reflects irradiation light from the light emitting chip. Here, the reflector has different reflection characteristics in an X direction on the substrate and a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     Still yet another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a light emitting device including: a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; and a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip. The resin lens is formed in the form of an ellipse having different aspect ratios in an X direction on the substrate and in a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     Further another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a display apparatus in which a plurality of light emitting devices are arrayed. The light emitting device includes a light emitting chip installed on a substrate; and a resin lens formed to cover the light emitting chip. Here, the resin lens is formed in the form of an ellipse having different aspect ratios in an X direction on the substrate and in a Y direction on the substrate which is perpendicular to the X direction. 
     According to the embodiments of the above-described embodiments, it is possible to adjust the directional characteristic of the light emitting device. 
     Further, according to the embodiments of the above-described embodiments, it is possible to display an image having high light usage efficiency.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Hereinafter, preferred embodiments (hereinafter, referred to as “embodiments”) of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
     1. First Embodiment 
     [Configuration Example of a 3D Image Display System] 
       FIG. 1  illustrates an example of a configuration of a 3D image display system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The 3D image display system  10  includes an image signal processing device  20  and an omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30 . 
     The image signal processing device  20  supplies a video signal obtained by capturing an object, for example, from all directions to the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30 . 
     The omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30  includes a display section  40  ( FIG. 2 ) which is installed in a cylindrical section  31  which is formed with a plurality of slits  32 . The display section  40  includes array displays of the same number as the number of the slits  32 . The omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30  extracts images in the case where the object is seen from respective viewpoints on the entire periphery around the object from a video signal input from the image signal processing device  20  to display the images on the respective array displays in a predetermined order. Accordingly, the cylindrical section  31  rotates at high speed. 
     Thus, the images on the array displays which form the display section  40  pass through the slits  32  and are seen by a user who views a side surface of the cylindrical section  31  of the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30 . Since LED lights of R, G, and B components which are arranged in positions corresponding to the plurality of array displays are synthesized and seen, the images have their original colors, and in a case where the user views the side surface of the cylindrical section  31  from an arbitrary direction, the user can view a 3D image over the entire periphery of the object in the video signal. 
     [Configuration Example of a Display Section] 
     A configuration example of the display section  40  which is installed in the cylindrical section  31  of the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30  will be described with reference to  FIGS. 2 to 6 .  FIG. 2  is a configuration example of the display section  40 ,  FIG. 3  is a rear perspective view of array displays,  FIG. 4  is a cross-sectional view of the array displays,  FIG. 5  is a perspective view of a light emitting device substrate  43 , and  FIG. 6  is a cross-sectional view of the light emitting device substrate  43 . 
     In the case of the configuration example shown in  FIG. 2 , the display section  40  includes three array displays. Each array display is installed in a light housing  41  so that a curved surface is formed along respective LED surfaces  52  of the plurality of light emitting device substrates  43 . 
     Each light housing  41  is arranged at an equiangular (here, 120 degrees) interval in a base of the cylindrical section  31 . Thus, it is possible to reduce wobbling of a rotation axis when the cylindrical section  31  rotates. 
     A slit  42  is formed on a side surface of the light housing  41 , and the display section  40  is installed inside the cylindrical section  31  so that the slit  42  corresponds to the slit  32  formed in the cylindrical section  31 . 
     The light housing  41  has an approximately semi-cylindrical shape of a hollow structure, and a positioning hole for mounting the light emitting device substrate  43  is formed on the side surface thereof of an arc shape. Thus, it is possible to mount the light emitting device substrate  43  on a predetermined location of the light housing  41  with high accuracy. Further, the plurality of light emitting device substrates  43  are mounted in the form of fins along the positioning holes. It is possible to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the light emitting device substrate  43  or the like when the display section  40  rotates, using the above-described shape characteristic. 
     Further, a hole is formed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the light housing  41 . Thus, if the display section  40  rotates, since air flow is generated in the light housing through the vertical hole, the heat exhausting is accelerated. 
     The light emitting device substrate  43  has attachments  51  for installation to the light housing  41  in opposite ends in the length direction thereof. The attachment  51  employs a material having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum. Thus, it is possible to efficiently move the heat generated by the light emitting device substrate  43  toward the light housing  41 , or to dissipate the heat. 
     Further, the light emitting device substrate  43  has a cross-section of an L shape (or inverted L shape), and has a rectangular LED surface  52  in which a plurality of LEDs which are the light emitting devices are disposed in a position which is a short side of the L shape. That is, the length direction of the LED surface  52  is parallel to the slit  42  of the light housing  41 . Further, a driver substrate  53  for driving the LEDs is disposed in a position which is along side of the light emitting device substrate  43 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , the array displays have an arc screen. That is, the array displays are configured so that the respective LED surfaces  52  of the plurality of light emitting device substrates  43  are arranged to be connected in an arc shape toward a point on a line which connects an arc center of the screen and the slit  42  of the light housing  41 . Thus, usage efficiency of light emitted from the LEDs can be enhanced. Further, since a gap between the respective light emitting device substrates  43  is generated, the generated heat can be dissipated therethrough. 
     Further, the plurality of light emitting device substrates  43  which form the array displays use an L-shaped cross-section and an inverted L-shaped cross-section with reference to the center of the array displays. Thus, it is possible to prevent horizontal unevenness in an image due to steps in the screen (for example, pixel gaps in a longitudinal direction stand out only on the right (or left) side of the screen), which may be generated in a case where the array displays are configured using only one of the L shape and the inverted L shape. 
     [Configuration Example of an LED] 
     Next, the LED which forms the LED surface  52  will be described with reference to  FIGS. 7 to 13 . As described above, the LED surface  52  is arranged toward the line where the arc center of the array displays is connected to the slit  42 . Further, each LED of the LED surface  52  is configured so that directional characteristics of the irradiation light is enhanced compared with the LED of the related art, and light usage efficiency is enhanced. 
       FIG. 7  illustrates a first configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the first configuration example, a resin lens  64  is formed to cover an LED chip  61  around the LED chip  61  installed on a substrate  60 . The irradiation light of the LED can be focused on the front surface by circularly forming the resin lens  64  when seen from the top of the LED, and thus, stray light is reduced, thereby enhancing light usage efficiency. Accordingly, the contrast of the displayed image is enhanced. Further, since an apparent light emitting area increases, it is possible to restrict a dot effect of the 3D image from standing out. 
     Further, in order to form the position and shape of the resin lens  64  with high accuracy, a water repellent and oil repellent agent or the like is coated in a region of the substrate  60  other than a region where the resin lens  64  is formed, to thereby form a low surface tension film  63 . That is, by forming the low surface tension film  63  with high positional accuracy, it is possible to form the position and shape of the resin lens  64  with high accuracy. 
       FIG. 8  illustrates a second configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the second configuration example, in addition to the same characteristic as the above-described first configuration example, a resin coat  72  is formed to cover a wire  62  which is wired in the LED chip  61 . Thus, protection of the wire  62  and insulation maintenance can be secured in parallel. In the second configuration example, the height of the resin coat  72  is formed to be lower than the height of the light emitting surface of the LED chip  61 . Thus, it is possible to restrict reduction in light extraction efficiency due to inner reflection of the LED. Here, the height of the resin coat  72  may be formed to be higher than the height of the light emitting surface of the LED chip  61 . Thus, since directional characteristic is enhanced while the light extraction efficiency decreases as the distance between the LED chip  61  and the resin lens  64  increases, it is possible to enhance light usage efficiency as a result. Further, as the height of the resin coat  72  increases, it is possible to avoid contact between the wire  62  and a mask  81  (to be described later). 
     Further, in the second configuration example, a copper foil layer  71  is formed on a substrate  70 . Thus, temperature unevenness in the substrate  70  can be reduced, and thus, luminance unevenness and color unevenness in the LED surface  52  can be restricted. 
       FIG. 9  illustrates a third configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the third configuration example, in addition to the same characteristic as the above-described second configuration example, the mask  81  is installed to cover a portion other than the resin lens  64  on the highest layer. The mask  81  may use a metallic foil which is black matte surface-processed or insulation-processed, black matte resin sheet, or the like. 
     The mask  81  has characteristic in the cross-sectional shape thereof.  FIGS. 10A to 10D  illustrate three examples of the cross-section shapes of the mask  81 . 
     That is,  FIG. 10A  represents an example where a cross-sectional shape of the mask  81  is formed so that a lower side thereof is narrower than an upper side thereof.  FIG. 10B  represents an example where a cross-sectional shape of the mask  81  is formed to be widened toward an upper side and a lower side from the center of the layer of the mask  81  (corresponding to the case where the mask  81  is created by etching). Further,  FIG. 10C  represents an example where a cross-section shape of the mask  81  is formed so that a lower side thereof is wider than an upper side thereof. 
     From the point of view that the resin lens  64  is formed with a dome shape with high accuracy, the example in  FIG. 10A  and the example in  FIG. 10B  are the same, which are superior to the example in  FIG. 10C . Further, also, from the point of view that an aspect ratio (H/D) which is the ratio of the height H to the diameter D of the resin lens  64  can be increased, the example in  FIG. 10A  and the example in  FIG. 10B  are the same, which are also superior to the example in  FIG. 10C . 
     Here, this does not mean that the directional characteristic and light usage efficiency are enhanced as the aspect ratio increases. That is, if the lens is formed with an appropriate aspect ratio according to a distance “h” from the light emitting surface of the LED chip  61  to the upper surface of the mask  81  or a hole diameter “r” of the mask  81 , the directional characteristic thereof increases, and thus, light usage efficiency can be enhanced. 
     From the point of view that interference (contact) of the mask  81  with the wire  62  is prevented, the example in  FIG. 10C  is superior to the example in  FIG. 10A  and the example in  FIG. 10B . 
       FIG. 11  illustrates a top view of the LED surface  52  including the third configuration example of the LED. As shown in the figure, since light leakage from portions other than the resin lens  64  can be prevented by installing the mask  81 , it is possible to reduce deterioration in the image contrast. 
       FIG. 12  illustrates a fourth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the fourth configuration example, the positions of the low surface tension film  63  and the mask  81  are switched in the above-described third configuration example, and thus, the low surface tension film  63  is formed on the highest layer, and the mask  81  is installed on the lower side compared with the third configuration example. Thus, it is possible to enlarge the diameter of the resin lens  64  compared with the third configuration example, without combining the resin lenses  64  of the adjacent LEDs, and thus, it is possible to increase the density of the resin lenses  64  in the LED surface  52 . Further, as the diameter of the resin lens  64  increases, it is possible to enhance the extraction efficiency of the irradiation light. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the dot effect of the displayed 3D image. 
       FIG. 13  illustrates a fifth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . The fifth configuration example has the same configuration as the above-described fourth configuration example. However, the height of the resin coat  72  is formed to be higher than the LED chip  61 , and a cross-sectional shape of the mask  81  is formed so that a lower side thereof is narrower than an upper side thereof. Accordingly, in addition to the same effect as the fourth configuration example, it is possible to form the dome shape of the resin lens  64  with high accuracy according to the cross-sectional shape of the mask  81 , to further enhance the directional characteristic as the distance between the LED chip  61  and the resin lens  64  increases, and to enhance the luminance of the displayed 3D image. 
     [Arrangement of LEDs] 
     Arrangement of LEDs which emit light of wavelengths of R, G, and B components in the LED surface  52  will be described. Hereinafter, the LEDs which emit light of wavelengths of the respective R, G, and B components are referred to as LEDs  90 R,  90 G, and  90 B, respectively. 
       FIG. 14  illustrates a first arrangement example of the LED in the LED surface  52 . The longitudinal direction in the same figure corresponds to the length direction of the LED surface  52 . In the first arrangement example, with reference to arbitrary 3×3 LEDs, the number of LEDs of the respective color components is the same, and with reference to an arbitrary LED, the LED having the same color component as the referenced LED is not present on the adjacent up, down, right and left sides. Here, the first arrangement example is ideal, but is difficult to be manufactured compared with a second arrangement example which will be described later. 
       FIG. 15  illustrates a first wiring example corresponding to the first arrangement example shown in  FIG. 14 . The longitudinal direction in the figure corresponds to the length direction of the LED surface  52 . In the first wiring example, “P” lines  101  for driving the LEDs of the same color components are wired in an oblique direction according to the arrangement of the LEDs of the same color components, and “N” lines  102  are wired along the length direction of the LED surface  52 . 
     As the first wiring example is employed, it is possible to drive and control the LEDs which form the LED surface  52  in a line sequential manner in the unit of several μ seconds. 
       FIG. 16  illustrates a second arrangement example of the LEDs in the LED surface  52 . The longitudinal direction in the figure corresponds to the length direction of the LED  52 . In the second arrangement example, the LEDs in the transverse direction have the same color components. Here, with reference to arbitrary 3×3 LEDs, the number of LEDs of the respective color components is the same. The second arrangement example has a simplified structure easy to be manufactured compared with the first arrangement example. 
     As in the present embodiments, in a case where the display section  40  is configured by three light housings  41 , LEDs having different colors are arranged on the corresponding positions of the respective array displays in the respective light housings  41 . For example, in the case of the first arrangement example, with reference to the three LEDs which are arranged on the corresponding positions of three array displays, the LEDs are sequentially arranged in the order of R, G, and B in the first array display, are sequentially arranged in the order of G, B, and R in the second array display, and are sequentially arranged in the order of B, R, and G in the third array display. 
     As described above, as the cylindrical section  31  in which the display section  40  is installed rotates at high speed in the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30 , colors of the LEDs of the respective R, G, and B components which are arranged on the corresponding positions of the respective array displays are combined to be seen. Accordingly, in a case where only LEDs of R, G, or B component are arranged in each of three array displays, if the rotational speed of the cylindrical section  31  becomes low, the combination state of the respective R, G, and B components is deteriorated, and the original colors cannot be reproduced. Further, color breakup of the image may occur. 
     However, as the above-described first arrangement example or the second arrangement example is employed, that is, as the LEDs of the respective R, G, and B components are mixed on one sheet of LED surface  52 , even in a case where the rotational speed of the display section  40  is low, the occurrence of color breakup of the displayed 3D image and flickering can be restricted. 
       FIG. 17  illustrates a second wiring example corresponding to the second arrangement example shown in  FIG. 16 . The longitudinal direction in the figure corresponds to the length direction of the LED surface  52 . In the second wiring example, the “P” lines  101  and the “N” lines  102  for driving the LEDs are arranged in the lattice form. 
     As the second wiring example is employed, it is possible to drive and control the LEDs which form the LED surface  52  in a line sequential manner in the unit of several μ seconds. 
     Incidentally, each LED which forms the LED surface  52  may not be directly mounted on the substrate, but a package type LED having a P electrode and an N electrode on a lower surface thereof may be arranged on the substrate. 
       FIGS. 18A and 18B  illustrate a configuration example of the package type LED, in which  FIG. 18A  illustrates a top surface thereof and  FIG. 18B  illustrates a lower surface thereof. As shown in  FIG. 18A , a “P” terminal (electrode)  111  is installed on the top surface of the package type LED along the outer circumference thereof, and an “N” terminal (electrode)  112  is installed along the LED chip  61 . Further, as shown in  FIG. 18B , on the lower surface of the package type LED, the “P” terminal (electrode)  111  is installed at opposite ends thereof, and the “N” terminal (electrode)  112  is installed in the center thereof. 
     For example, the package type LED has an advantage that it is possible to easily exchange the LEDs in the unit of package, while in a case where a breakdown such as a disconnection in one LED occurs, in a case where individual differences of the LEDs are uniformized, or in similar cases, if the directly mounted LED is employed instead of the package type LED, it is necessary to exchange the LEDs in the unit of the LED surface  52  or in the unit of the light emitting device substrate  43 . One package is not necessarily formed by one LED, but may be formed by a plurality of (for example, 1×3, 3×3) LEDs. 
       FIG. 19  illustrates a third wiring example corresponding to a case where the LED which forms the LED surface  52  is the package type LED. The longitudinal direction in the figure corresponds to the length direction of the LED surface  52 . In the third wiring example, “P” lines  121  and “N” lines  122  for driving the LEDs are arranged in the lattice form. Here, in the figure, as the “P” lines  121  are intermittently wired and the package type LED shown in  FIGS. 18A and 18B  is arranged, portions where the “P” lines  121  are disconnected are connected to each other. 
     As the third wiring example is employed, it is possible to drive and control the LEDs which form the LED surface  52  in a line sequential manner in the unit of several p, seconds. 
     [Adjustment of LED Light Distribution Characteristic] 
     As described above, as the first to fifth configuration examples are employed for the LED, it is possible to enhance the directional characteristic. However, for example, if the LED in which the irradiation direction thereof is adjusted to be focused in a direction other than the front direction is used as the LED of the LED surface  52  which is arranged in an end part or the like of the screen on the curved surface of the array displays, it is possible to further enhance the light usage efficiency. Specifically, for example, the package type LED in the irradiation direction suitable for the arrangement may be used, or the light distribution characteristic for each light emitting device substrate  43  is adjusted to be different and the light emitting device substrates  43  having the light distribution characteristic suitable for the arrangement are arrayed, to thereby form the array displays. 
     Thus, a configuration of the LED in which the light distribution characteristic is adjusted will be described. 
       FIG. 20  illustrates a sixth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the sixth configuration example, the center of the LED chip  61  installed on the substrate  60  and the center of the circular resin lens  64  are offset to each other. In the sixth configuration example and thereafter, the wire  62 , the resin coat  72 , the mask  81 , and the like may be appropriately omitted in the figures. 
       FIG. 21  illustrates a light distribution characteristic (indicated by a dashed line) of the first configuration example of the LED shown in  FIG. 7  and a light distribution characteristic (indicated by a solid line) of the sixth configuration example of the LED shown in  FIG. 20 . As shown in the figure, in the case of the first configuration example, the light distribution characteristic is highest in the front (90°) direction. On the other hand, in the case of the sixth configuration example, the light distribution characteristic may be shifted in a direction different from the front direction (90°). 
       FIGS. 22A and 22B  illustrate a seventh configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 , in which  FIG. 22A  illustrates a cross-section taken in an arbitrary X direction, and  FIG. 22B  illustrates a cross-section taken in a Y direction which is perpendicular to the X direction. In the seventh configuration example, the circular resin lens  64  is formed to cover the LED chip  61  around the LED chip  61  installed on the substrate  60 , and a reflector  131  is installed around the LED chip  61 . Here, the reflector  131  functions to enhance the directional characteristic in the X direction and to lower the directional characteristic in the Y direction (to distribute light in a wide range). 
       FIGS. 23A and 23B  illustrate a light distribution characteristic of the seventh configuration example of the LED shown in  FIGS. 22A and 22B , in which  FIG. 23A  illustrates the light distribution characteristic in the X direction and  FIG. 23B  illustrates the light distribution characteristic in the Y direction. As understood from the figures, due to the effect of the reflector  131 , the directional characteristic is enhanced in the X direction and the directional characteristic is lowered in the Y direction (light distribution range is widened). 
       FIG. 24  illustrates an eighth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the eighth configuration example, a cross-sectional shape of the mask  81  is formed in the state shown in  FIG. 10A , and the hole wall surface thereof is coated or deposited by a reflection material of white color, silver color, or the like to function as a reflector  141 . If a position having an effect of the reflector  141  and a position without the effect are provided according to the position of an inclined surface of the mask  81 , it is possible to achieve the same light distribution characteristic as the light distribution characteristic shown in  FIGS. 23A and 23B . 
       FIG. 25  illustrates a ninth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the ninth configuration example, an elliptical resin lens  64  in which a slit direction is the length direction thereof is formed to cover the LED chip  61  installed on the substrate  60 . According to the ninth configuration example, it is possible to achieve the same light distribution characteristic as the light distribution characteristic shown in  FIGS. 23A and 23B . 
       FIGS. 26A and 26B  illustrate a tenth configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 . In the tenth configuration example, in addition to the characteristic of the ninth configuration example, the center of the LED chip  61  and the center of the elliptical resin lens  64  are offset to each other. According to the tenth configuration example, it is possible to achieve the light distribution characteristic obtained by combining the light distribution characteristics shown in  FIG. 21  and  FIGS. 23A and 23B . 
       FIGS. 27A and 27B  illustrate an eleventh configuration example of the LED which forms the LED surface  52 , in which  FIG. 27A  is a cross-sectional view thereof and  FIG. 27B  is a top view of the LED surface  52  including the LEDs according to the eleventh configuration example. The eleventh configuration example is a combination of the eighth to tenth configuration examples, and has the light distribution characteristic obtained by combining the light distribution characteristics shown in  FIG. 21  and  FIGS. 23A and 23B . 
     As in the above-described sixth to eleventh configuration examples of the LED, if the package type LEDs are used as the LEDs in which the light distribution characteristic is adjusted for each LED and a suitable LED is used according to the arrangement, it is possible to enhance light usage efficiency and to reduce power consumption. Further, it is possible to reduce stray light (light irradiation in an insignificant direction). Further, since it is easy to exchange the LEDs compared with the case where the LED is directly mounted, adjustment and repair are easily available. 
     Incidentally, it is assumed that the configuration examples, arrangement examples, wiring examples, or the like of the LEDs as described above are applied to the omni-directional 3D image display apparatus  30 , but may be applied to other displays. 
     Further, in the present description, the term “system” represents the entire system including a plurality of devices. 
     The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may have a variety of modifications in the range without departing from the spirit thereof. 
     The present disclosure contains subject matter related to that disclosed in Japanese Priority Patent Application JP 2010-155732 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jul. 8, 2010, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
