Patent ID: 8766976

Claim:
A three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus, comprising: a display panel including a plurality of first pixel row pairs and a plurality of second pixel row pairs arranged in an alternating manner, wherein each of the first pixel row pairs includes two adjacent first pixel rows, and each of the second pixel row pairs includes two adjacent second pixel rows; and a pattern retarder film disposed at a light emitting side of the display panel, wherein the pattern retarder film includes a plurality of first retarder rows and a plurality of second retarder rows, and the first retarder rows are positioned to the first pixel row pairs, respectively, and the second retarder rows are positioned to the second pixel row pairs, respectively; wherein each of the first pixel rows includes a plurality of first sub-pixels and a plurality of second sub-pixels, and in each of the first pixel rows, the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels are arranged in an alternating manner, and each of the first sub-pixels has two different regions, and each of the second sub-pixels has three different regions, and in each of the first pixel row pairs, the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels are arranged in a matrix manner, and when displaying 3D images, a partial region of one of the first pixel rows of each of the first pixel row pairs is turned off.
