Patent ID: 7066599

Claim:
A display unit for displaying a plurality of images including a first image and a second image, the display unit comprising: a light-emitting display device including a light-emission surface and a plurality of pixels for displaying an image; an image signal output section for controlling the display device, the image signal output section providing image data to the display device so that at least one first pixel of the plurality of pixels displays the first image and at least one second pixel of pixels adjacent to the at least one first pixel displays the second image; a parallax barrier arranged facing the light-emission surface of the display device, the parallax barrier including a plurality of slit regions, each slit region being switched between a transmitting state allowing transmitting of light and a shielding state prohibiting transmitting of light; a lenticular lens arranged facing the plurality of slit regions of the parallax barrier; and a slit control section for alternately switching each slit region between the transmitting state and the shielding state at a predetermined cycle; wherein the image signal output section provides, in synchronization with the switching of the plurality of slit regions between the transmitting state and the shielding state, the image data to the display device so that each of the at least one first pixel and the at least one second pixel displays an image different from the image displayed before switching the slit region between the transmitting state and the shielding state.
