A stereoscopic video playback device is provided that processes original stereoscopic image pairs taken using parallel-axis cameras and provided for viewing under original viewing conditions by scaling and cropping to provide new viewing condition stereoscopic video on a single screen.

Embodiments present different images to multiple viewers of a shared display using glasses with lenses that transmit only selected images from the display. The images viewed by each of the glasses may be based on the tracked position and orientation of the glasses, so that the images correspond to the user's viewpoint. Different images may also be presented to left and right eyes for 3D stereoscopic viewing. The position and orientation of the lenses of the glasses may be tracked by analyzing images from one or more cameras observing the glasses. Glasses may have distinctive geometric shapes or features, such as circular lenses or rims, or recognizable blobs or patterns, to facilitate tracking. The lenses of the glasses may combine multiple barriers such as anaglyph filters, polarizing filters, and shutters, to select images from the display. Glasses may also be used as pointing devices to select and manipulate 3D objects.

A display provides increased contrast and resolution via first LCD panel energized to generate an image and a second LCD panel configured to increase contrast of the image. The second panel is an LCD panel without color filters and is configured to increase contrast by decreasing black levels of dark portions of images using polarization rotation and filtration. The second LCD panel may have higher resolution than the first LCD panel. A half wave plate and/or film is placed in between the first and the second panel. The panels may be directly illuminated or edge lit, and may be globally or locally dimmed lights that may also include individual control of color intensities for each image or frame displayed.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a pixel structure and a control method thereof and a display panel. The pixel structure comprises a plurality of sub-pixels, and a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines that are crossed with each other, wherein the gate lines comprise a plurality of first gate lines and a plurality of second gate lines, each sub-pixel comprises a first part and a second part, and each sub-pixel comprises a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor, the first part is connected to a corresponding data line through the first thin film transistor, a gate of the first film transistor is connected to a corresponding first gate line, the first part and the second part of each sub-pixel are connected with each other through the second thin film transistor, and a gate of the second film transistor is connected to a corresponding second gate line.

A camera system comprising: stereoscopic optics; a right image sensor for acquiring a right image from the stereoscopic optics and a left image sensor for acquiring a left image from the stereoscopic optics; a horizontal line switch for receiving the right image from the right image sensor and the left image from the left image sensor and creating a composite image wherein the horizontal line signals from the right image sensor are alternated with the horizontal line signals from the left image sensor; and a single camera processor for receiving the composite image from the horizontal line switch for presenting to a display.

A ride system includes eyewear configured to be worn by a user. The eyewear includes a display having a stereoscopic feature configured to permit viewing of externally projected stereoscopically displayed images. The ride system includes a computer graphics generation system communicatively coupled to the eyewear, and configured to generate streaming media of a real world environment based on image data captured via the camera of the eyewear, generate one or more virtual augmentations superimposed on the streaming media of the real world environment, and to transmit the streaming media of the real world environment along with the one or more superimposed virtual augmentations to be displayed on the display of the eyewear, and project stereoscopic images into the real world environment.

An electrically controlled spectacle includes a spectacle frame and optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame. The lenses include a left lens and a right lens, each of the optoelectrical lenses having a plurality of states, wherein the state of the left lens is independent of the state of the right lens. The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.

The present invention discloses a display panel, a three-dimensional display device and manufacturing method thereof. The display panel comprises a plurality of display regions. At least one of the plurality of display regions is configured to display a first display picture, while the rest of the plurality of display regions are configured to display a second display picture. A frame of display picture comprises the first display picture and the second display picture. When the frame of display picture is displayed, the polarization direction of the first display picture is different from that of the second display picture. In the technical solutions provided by the present invention, it is unnecessary to arrange a liquid crystal cell on a display panel, so the production cost is reduced.

An image display device is provided. The image display device includes a light source and a polarizer including a first polarizing region configured to linearly polarize light which is output from the light source and a second polarizing region configured to circularly polarize light which is output from the light source.

An image display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an optical modulator, an optical device, and a sensor unit. The optical device splits a modulated light beam modulated by the optical modulator into a first split light beam and a second split light beam, the first split light beam and the second split light beam each travelling in a different direction, and prevents a light beam, which backwardly travels on an optical path of the first split light beam and enters the optical device, from travelling along an optical path of the second split light beam. The sensor unit is disposed on the optical path of the second split light beam and detects a state of the second split light beam.
