Claim:
A stereoscopic display comprising: a display panel configured to display an image in a first arrangement state and a second arrangement state which are switchable with each other, the second arrangement state being defined as a state where an arrangement direction of the display panel is rotated by 90°, in a plane parallel to a display surface of the display panel, from an arrangement direction of the display panel in the first arrangement state; and a lens array device arranged to face a display surface of the display panel and including a plurality of cylindrical lenses configured to be arranged in parallel along a direction according to the arrangement state of the display panel, wherein when the display panel is in the first arrangement state, the plurality of cylindrical lenses are arranged in parallel along a horizontal direction so that axes of the cylindrical lenses are inclined from a vertical direction in the plane parallel to the display surface, and when the display panel is in the second arrangement state, the plurality of cylindrical lenses are arranged in parallel along the horizontal direction so that the axes of the cylindrical lenses are directed to a vertical direction in the plane parallel to the display surface, and the display panel has a pixel configuration that a plurality of sub-pixels are two-dimensionally arranged, each of the plurality of sub-pixels corresponding to each of a plurality of colors necessary for color display, and a position of each of sub-pixels which are used, as a combination, to configure a unit pixel for color display are changed between the first arrangement state and the second arrangement state, wherein the color sub-pixels R,G,B are substantially rectangular in shape and groups of the sub-pixels are sequentially disposed in a brick layer staggered arrangement.
