A digital display interface (40) connects a first audio-visual device (10) to a second audio-visual device (20). Stereoscopic image data is transmitter over the display interface (40). Components of stereoscopic image data are multiplexed and inserted into an image data carrying element. An existing deep color mode can be re-used for this purpose. Signaling information to help identify or decode the stereoscopic image data is carried in auxiliary data carrying elements. Stereoscopic image data can be distributed between image data carrying data elements and auxiliary data carrying data elements. Auxiliary data carrying elements can be transmitted in horizontal or vertical blanking periods, and can comprise HDMI Data Island Packets. Stereoscopic image data can be sent over an auxiliary data channel. The auxiliary data channel can form part of the same cable as is used to carry a primary channel of the display interface, a separate cable, or a wireless link.

A method for reducing crosstalk in stereoscopic displays comprises providing a first first-eye image, a compensated image of the first first-eye image, a first other-eye image, and a compensated image of the first other-eye image; displaying each of the images at least once during a single frame flash sequence, wherein the first first-eye image is displayed to a first eye, the compensated image of the first first-eye image is displayed to another eye, the first other-eye image is displayed to the another eye, and compensated image of the first other-eye image is displayed to the first eye; wherein the compensated images can be displayed simultaneously and/or at least one of the compensated images or eye images can be displayed more than one time during a single frame flash sequence.

The present disclosure relates to an image display system, including a television having a screen, a sound projector, a control unit in signal communication with said screen and said sound projector, said control unit being configured for said sound projector to project one or more audible beams in a room towards one or more target paths. The system includes an optical instrument having a frame and a pair of lenses, detection means and transmission means, said detection means being designed to receive at their input an audio signal having a frequency falling in a 20-20 kHz frequency band and to output a processed signal, said transmission means being designed to receive at their input said processed signal, and to output a calibration signal. The control unit calibrates said sound projector according to said calibration signal generated by said optical instrument.

The present technique relates to a display device and method, and a program for presenting high-quality stereoscopic images in a simpler manner. A display unit is a four-viewpoint display device having a parallax barrier. On the display unit, block regions that are formed with pixels of channels CH0 through CH3 aligned in the parallax direction are aligned in the parallax direction. An allocation control unit allocates a parallax image for the left eye or a parallax image for the right eye to the pixels of each channel in block regions, in accordance with the viewpoint position of the user. For example, the same parallax image is allocated to pixels of two different channels adjacent to each other in the parallax direction. A generating unit generates a combined image by combining the parallax image for the right eye and the parallax image for the left eye in accordance with the allocation performed by the allocation control unit, and causes the display unit to stereoscopically display the combined image. The present invention can be applied to display devices.

A multi-view display controller determines view angles for each view of a multi-view media content for each viewer watching a multi-view display. The view angles determined for a viewer collectively define a viewer cone that displays the views onto the viewer. Media data of the multi-view media content is output together with information of the determined view angles to the multi-view display in order to allow each viewer to have the same experience of displayed media content regardless of where the viewer is positioned relative to the multi-view display.

A three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus, display module, and a manufacturing method thereof, are provided. The 3D display apparatus includes a display module including a first display panel configured to display a two-dimensional (2D) image, a second display panel disposed in front of the first display panel and spaced apart from the first display panel, and configured to display another 2D image that when combined with the 2D image displayed by the first display panel generates a 3D image, and a spacing panel comprising a rear surface on which the first display panel is attached and a front surface on which the second display panel is attached, the spacing panel providing an amount of space between the first display panel and the second display panel.

Methods and systems for generating stereoscopic content with granular control over binocular disparity based on multi-perspective imaging from representations of light fields are provided. The stereoscopic content is computed as piecewise continuous cuts through a representation of a light field, minimizing an energy reflecting prescribed parameters such as depth budget, maximum binocular disparity gradient, desired stereoscopic baseline. The methods and systems may be used for efficient and flexible stereoscopic post-processing, such as reducing excessive binocular disparity while preserving perceived depth or retargeting of already captured scenes to various view settings. Moreover, such methods and systems are highly useful for content creation in the context of multi-view autostereoscopic displays and provide a novel conceptual approach to stereoscopic image processing and post-production.

Display devices can be used to provide display functionality in dynamic autostereoscopic displays. One or more display devices are coupled to one or more appropriate computing devices. These computing devices control delivery of autostereoscopic image data to the display devices. A lens array coupled to the display devices, e.g., directly or through some light delivery device, provides appropriate conditioning of the autostereoscopic image data so that users can view dynamic autostereoscopic images.
