Patent ID: 7859529

Claim:
An image data display apparatus capable of switching a display of an input 3-dimensional image data between a stereoscopic representation or a planar representation, comprising: a display means capable of displaying the 3-dimensional image data in a manner switchable between a 3-dimensional representation and a 2-dimensional representation; an image converting means for converting, when a displayed position of the 3-dimensional image data is moving, the moving 3-dimensional image data into a 2-dimensional image data; and a control means for switching a display mode of the display means between a 3-dimensional display mode and a 2-dimensional display mode, wherein when part of a 3-dimensional image displayed on the display means is moving, the image converting means only converts a 3-dimensional image data of the moving part into a 2-dimensional image data, and the control means only switches the 3-dimensional display mode of the moving part to the 2-dimensional display mode.
