Claim:
A three-dimensional (3-D) display system comprising: a display panel displaying one of a two-dimensional (2-D) image, a first three-dimensional (3-D) image having a vertical format, and a second three-dimensional (3-D) image having a horizontal format; and a filter arranged on a first side or a second side of the display panel, wherein the filter transmits the 2-D image when the display panel displays the 2-D image, the filter forms a first barrier pattern corresponding to the 3-D image having the vertical format when the display panel displays the 3-D image having the vertical format, and the filter forms a second barrier pattern corresponding to the 3-D image having the horizontal format when the display panel displays the 3-D image having the horizontal format, wherein the second barrier pattern is symmetric to the pattern of 90 degrees tilted the first barrier pattern such that the vertical format and the horizontal format are realized by forming one barrier pattern, wherein a vertical period and a horizontal period of the first barrier pattern are substantially equal to those of the second barrier pattern, and wherein the 3-D image comprises an image of two-view scheme or an image of three-view scheme.
