The glass-free stereoscopic image display device may include: a display module that displays a stereoscopic image through a cover including a lenticular lens including multiple convex lenses; and a processor that controls the display module, wherein the processor provides a stereoscopic image by controlling a left-eye image pixel and a right-eye image pixel of the display module on the basis of a lens pitch indicating a distance between the multiple convex lenses, and the cover is provided on a front surface of the user device to be combined with the user device.

The present invention relates to an autostereoscopic screen for the simultaneous reproduction of at least two different images, in a manner such that each of these images is visible from at least one of different viewing zones, comprising a subpixel matrix, an optical element and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured, on the subpixel matrix, to define different subsets of subpixels such that each of the subsets forms a family of parallel strips and is assigned to at least one of the viewing zones, wherein the strips of the different subsets cyclically alternate, and to activate the subpixels in dependence on image data such that each of the images is reproduced on one of the subsets, wherein the optical element has a grating-like structure aligned according to the strips, in order to lead light departing from the subpixels of each of the subsets into the viewing zone assigned to this subgroup. Thereby, the control unit is further configured to define the subsets such that two of subsets overlap, and to activate the subpixels within an intersection of these subsets, in each case with an averaged intensity value. The invention further relates to a suitable method for reproducing image information on an autostereoscopic screen.

Disclosed in the present application are a method and device for determining the position of a viewer and adjusting a viewing area, and a device for displaying three-dimensional video signals, such that the position of a viewer in front of an electronic device can be accurately determined and the viewing area can be adjusted according to the specific position, enabling the viewer to be unaware of any sudden viewing change when watching 3D signals. The method for determining the position of the viewer is applied in an electronic device comprising a display screen capable of displaying three-dimensional video signals. The viewing areas of the electronic device include a three-dimensional display area and a non-three-dimensional display area. The method comprises: acquiring the image in front of the electronic device; judging whether the image contains the face image of the viewer; if the image contains the face image, identifying at least one feature in the face image to determine the position of the viewer; according to the at least one feature, determining whether the viewing area of the viewer is a three-dimensional display area or a non-three-dimensional display area.

It is made possible to correct a positional gap between an optical system and an eye of an observer appropriately. Based on an eyeball position of the eye of the observer, a positional relationship between the optical system, which leads an image displayed on a display element to the eye of the observer, and the eye of the observer, that is, a positional gap therebetween is detected. Based on the positional relationship detected in such a manner, the positional relationship between the optical system and the eye of the observer is corrected. For example, the positional gap is electronically corrected by performing shift control of a position of the image displayed on the display element. Also, for example, the positional gap is mechanically corrected by performing shift control of the optical system including the display element.

A stereo preview apparatus has an auto-stereoscopic display, an input interface, a motion detection circuit, and a visual transition circuit. The input interface receives at least an input stereo image pair including a left-view image and a right-view image generated from an image capture device. The motion detection circuit evaluates a motion status of the image capture device. The visual transition circuit generates an output stereo image pair based on the input stereo image pair, and outputs the output stereo image pair to the auto-stereoscopic display for stereo preview, wherein the visual transition circuit refers to the evaluated motion status to configure adjustment made to the input stereo image pair when generating the output stereo image pair.
