Patent ID: 7847756

Claim:
A three-dimensional image display apparatus configured to display a three-dimensional image as a set of two-dimensional images by switching and displaying two-dimensional images on a rotating self-luminous two-dimensional display panel while synchronizing with a rotation angle of the two-dimensional display panel, said three-dimensional image display apparatus comprising: a rotation body for rotating the two-dimensional display panel while fixing and supporting the two-dimensional display panel, said rotation body includes first storage means for storing at least two screen images of restored image data, a plurality of magnets, and storage control means for reading a first screen image of the restored image data stored in the first storage means while synchronizing with the rotation angle of the two-dimensional display panel, inputting thus read out first screen image of restored image data to be displayed to the two-dimensional display panel, and storing newly restored second screen image of restored image data to said first storage means; a support body for rotatably supporting the rotation body, the support body is external to said rotation body, and includes a plurality of drive coils which generate a repulsive and an attractive force with the plurality of magnets in the rotation body; a compression unit mounted on the support body configured to compress image data to display the two-dimensional image on the two-dimensional display panel; a transmission unit mounted on the support body configured to transmit the compressed image data to the rotation body; a reception unit mounted on the rotation body configured to receive the transmitted compression image data; and an expansion unit mounted on the rotation body configured to expand the received compression image data so as to restore the original image data.
