Patent ID: 8786684

Claim:
A method of displaying a stereoscopic image, the method comprising: temporally dividing at least two view images corresponding to at least two viewing spaces to display the temporally divided image on a display panel; and converting the view image displayed on the display panel into N stereoscopic images in which directions of the view images are different from each other to emit the converted view image toward a viewing space corresponding to the view image displayed on the display panel using a spatial division lenticular lens part, wherein, ‘N’ is a natural number of no less than two, wherein the displaying of the temporally divided image on the display panel comprises: converting an image received during a frame interval period into the at least two view images; temporally dividing the frame interval period into at least two sub-frame interval periods to display the at least two view images on the display panel, displaying a first view image on the display panel during a first sub-frame interval period of the frame interval period, converting the first view image into N stereoscopic images in which directions thereof are different from each other using the spatial division lenticular lens part, refracting the N stereoscopic images using the spatial division lenticular lens part, emitting the refracted N-stereoscopic images from the spatial division lenticular lens part toward a first viewing space corresponding to the first view image, displaying a second view image on the display panel during a second sub-frame interval period of the frame interval period, converting the second view image into N stereoscopic images in which directions thereof are different from each other using the spatial division lenticular lens part, and emitting the N stereoscopic images from the spatial division lenticular lens part toward a second viewing space corresponding to the second view image without refracting the N stereoscopic images, wherein in one of the first sub-frame interval period or the second sub-frame interval period the N stereoscopic images are refracted by the spatial division lenticular lens part and the refracted N stereoscopic images are emitted from the spatial division lenticular lens part toward one of the first or second viewing spaces and wherein in the other one of the first sub-frame interval period or the second sub-frame interval period the N stereoscopic images are emitted from the spatial division lenticular lens part toward the other one of the first or second viewing spaces without being refracted.
