Patent ID: 8063931

Claim:
A stereoscopic display apparatus comprising: a display including pixels arrayed in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction in a matrix shape, each of the pixels comprising sub-pixels with color components, openings of any two adjacent sub-pixels in the lateral direction always overlapping regardless of a position in the lateral direction, and the sum of longitudinal components of opening ratios being constant; and a control element opposed to the display, including optical openings extending linearly in the longitudinal direction and arrayed in the lateral direction, for controlling beams from the sub-pixels, wherein when an aspect ratio of a shape of the sub-pixels satisfies lateral : longitudinal=1:N, a longitudinal wiring line between the openings of two sub-pixels adjacent in a right-and-left direction comprises M substantially straight lines (M>=1) forming an angle θ with a vertical direction that satisfies θ> arctan (M/N).
