Patent ID: 8441584

Claim:
A stereoscopic image displaying apparatus, comprising: an image generation section having a plurality of pixels for a plurality of colors arranged in a two-dimensional matrix and adapted to drive the pixels for the colors to generate a color image; and a parallax applying section adapted to apply a parallax to the color image to allow color display of a three-dimensional image and capable of changing over a parallax direction between a first direction of the color image and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; said parallax applying section having a first parallel state where a longitudinal direction of a plurality of parallax barrier regions of a parallax barrier spaced from each other for applying the parallax coincides with the first direction and a second parallel state where the longitudinal direction of the parallax barrier regions of said parallax barrier coincides with the second direction; said image generation section and said parallax application section being configured so that the rates of the colors at the pixels for the colors corresponding to light transmission regions between adjacent ones of said parallax barrier regions are uniform or got closer in both of the first parallel state and the second parallel state.
