First regions surrounded by first boundaries are filled with a first colour, and second regions surrounded by second boundaries are filled with a second colour. Viewing device is used for viewing pattern and refracting incident light from pattern, and re is a difference in depth of field between first regions 4a and second regions 4b of pattern, thereby creating a 3D effect. The disclosure realizes a three-dimensional effect of pattern on inner pool surface at low costs.

The present invention has an object of providing a display that makes uniform brightnesses of a display image in a plane of a display panel according to a position of an observer. The display includes a display panel, a surface light source panel that emits light toward a back surface of the display panel, a sensor that senses a position of an observer with respect to the display panel, and a controller, wherein a brightness can be adjusted for each of areas of the surface light source panel, and the controller adjusts respective brightnesses of the areas of the surface light source panel so that brightnesses of a display image in a plane of the display panel are made uniform, when the display panel is observed from the position of the observer sensed by the sensor.

To reduce burden of a viewer at the time of performing stereoscopic display by a stereoscopic display device and to show a stereoscopic image in a natural and comfortable manner. A disparity estimating unit 210 estimates disparity from the left and right images of an input image to generate a disparity map. A disparity analyzing unit 230 analyzes the disparity map to generate a disparity control parameter for performing suitable disparity control. A disparity control unit 240 controls the content of processing at an image conversion unit 250 in accordance with the disparity control parameter. The image conversion unit 250 performs image conversion on the input image based on the control by the disparity control unit 240 to output an output image. The image conversion unit 250 performs image conversion of two steps. The image conversion unit 250 performs shift processing for shifting the relative positions of the left and right images of the input image in the horizontal direction as first step image conversion, for example. The image conversion unit 250 performs scaling processing for performing enlargement/reduction of the entire screen with each center of the left and right images as a reference, as second step image conversion, for example.
