Patent ID: 7663570

Claim:
An image display device comprising: a light source; a display panel disposed in front of said light source and having a plurality of pixel sections in the form of a matrix, each of said pixel sections including a first pixel for displaying an image for a first viewpoint and a second pixel for displaying an image for a second viewpoint, said second pixel being disposed at a position apart from said first pixel in a first direction; and an optical unit disposed in front of said display panel for deflecting light emitted from said first and second pixels, wherein each of said first and second pixels includes a transmissive region for transmitting the light emitted from said light source to said optical unit and a reflective region for reflecting exterior light incident on a front side of said display panel to said optical unit, and wherein said transmissive region and said reflective region are arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in each pixel, wherein said transmissive regions in said pixel sections are arranged in a line in the first direction, and said reflective regions in said pixel sections are arranged in a line in the first direction, and lines of said transmissive regions and lines of said reflective regions alternate repeatedly in the second direction, and wherein said optical unit is a lenticular lens in which a plurality of cylindrical lenses is arranged such that a geometric axis of each cylindrical lens is substantially aligned with a space between the first pixel and the second pixel of at least one pixel section, and the geometric axis of said cylindrical lens extends along said second direction.
