Patent ID: 8773601

Claim:
A display device comprising: image display means having a plurality of pixels each including a plurality of sub-pixels with colors different from one another, the sub-pixels displaying an image for a right eye and an image for a left eye; and light shielding means for causing parallax to be generated between the two eyes, wherein, in the image display means, each of the sub-pixels is square and arranged in such a manner as to correspond to a corresponding lattice point of a triangular lattice, wherein, in the light shielding means, a shape of a light shielding barrier in a state in which a display device body is oriented in a vertical direction is different from a shape of the light shielding barrier in a state in which the display device body is oriented in a horizontal direction, and wherein in the light shielding means, barrier openings forming the shape of the light shielding barrier in the vertical orientation state are arranged in a zigzag pattern, and barrier openings forming the shape of the light shielding barrier in the horizontal orientation state are arranged in a stripe pattern, and wherein the light shielding means includes: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates; a plurality of first electrodes provided on the first substrate, each of the plurality of first electrodes including a plurality of square-shaped electrodes which are arranged in a zigzag pattern and electrically connected to one another; and a plurality of second electrodes provided on the second substrate, each of the plurality of second electrodes including a rectangular electrode arranged in a stripe pattern.
