Patent ID: 8035683

Claim:
A stereoscopic image reproducing apparatus for reproducing a three-dimensional image based on control information for controlling a display of three-dimensional image data, comprising: a first display portion having a first display size and a first resolution; a decision portion for deciding on whether a first amount of parallax on the first display portion after three-dimensional image data has been displayed needs to be changed or not, based on control information; and an image processing portion for implementing an image process to the three-dimensional image data for changing the first amount of parallax, wherein the control information contains a standard display size and a standard resolution of a standard display portion which is different from the first display portion; and wherein the decision portion compares a first pitch between dots determined using the first display size and the first resolution and a standard pitch between dots determined using the standard display size and the standard resolution, and determines that the first amount of parallax needs to be changed only when the first pitch between dots is greater than the standard pitch between dots.
