Patent ID: 8207961

Claim:
A stereoscopic image display device comprising: a controller for receiving three-dimensional (3D) graphic data and a synchronization signal, and for outputting a control signal and the 3D graphic data including two-dimensional (2D) image data and 3D graphic information, such that the 3D graphic data is processed differently to be displayed as a 3D stereoscopic image or a 2D single eye image according to the control signal, wherein the 3D graphic information includes depth and surface information of an object; a 3D graphic processor for generating a plurality of stereoscopic matrices used to generate 3D stereoscopic image data for a plurality of viewing points according to the control signal, and transforming the 3D graphic data into the 3D stereoscopic image data using the plurality of stereoscopic matrices when the control signal indicates that the 3D stereoscopic image is to be displayed, and when the control signal indicates that the 2D single eye image is to be displayed, processing the 3D graphic data via a 3D transformation matrix for displaying the 2D single eye image; a driver for generating a driving signal based on the image data output from the 3D graphic processor and the control signal; and a display unit for displaying an image corresponding to the image data according to the driving signal.
