This application discloses a device for generating a holographic stereoscopic image. The device includes a body, a three-dimensional display, and a negative refractive index plate. The body includes a first cavity and a second cavity, a bending angle existing between a central axis of the first cavity and a central axis of the second cavity. A second end of the first cavity is in communication with a first end of the second cavity, an opening being formed by a second end of the second cavity on a side wall of the body. The three-dimensional display is arranged on the first end of the first cavity, and the negative refractive index plate is arranged between the second end of the first cavity and the first end of the second cavity. A display direction of the three-dimensional display faces the negative refractive index plate, and a refraction direction of the negative refractive index plate faces the opening.

It is an objective of the invention of the present application to provide an image display apparatus capable of reducing a change in a display state of a virtual image that depends on a change in a viewpoint position. An image display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an emission unit, a diffractive optical element, and an emission control unit. The emission unit emits image light of a target image. The diffractive optical element includes an incident surface and an emission surface, diffracts the image light entering the incident surface, emits the image light from the emission surface, and displays a virtual image that is the target image. The emission control unit controls emission of the image light by the emission unit by using image data generated in accordance with a change in a display state of the virtual image that depends on a change in a viewpoint position.

A three dimensional (3D) display apparatus can include lenticular lenses between a display panel and a viewing angle control film. The display panel can have a curvature. The viewing angle control film can include a plurality of light-blocking patterns between a first control substrate and a second control substrate. A pitch and a height of the plurality of light-blocking patterns can be determined by a curvature radius of the lenticular lenses, a distance between the viewing angle control film and a set viewing region, and a length of the display panel corresponding to the set viewing region. Thus, in the 3D display apparatus, the quality of 3D images provided to a user can be improved.

A head-up display apparatus is disclosed. The head-up display apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a display panel; a stereoscopic image filter; and a mirror. The display panel includes a first region in which a first image is displayed and a second region in which a second image is displayed, and the stereoscopic image filter is configured to convert the first image into a stereoscopic image. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first image displayed on the display panel is warped and displayed, thereby preventing distortion of the stereoscopic image when projected on a windshield.

In one preferred form illustrated in FIG. 1 there is provided an autostereoscopic display 10. The display 10 includes a layer 20 of pixel sources 22. The display includes a source screen 12 and a lens structure 14. The source screen 12 is able to separate light from each pixel source 22, in the layer 20 of pixel sources 22, into view position input sources 32 each corresponding with a different view position 40. The lens structure 14 has a view position configuration 36 and a views configuration 38. The view position configuration 36 and the views configuration 38 of the lens structure 14 are able to transmit light, that is received from the view position input sources 32 as corresponding lens structure inputs 34, as views 39 grouped in viewing positions 40.

A method and apparatus for outputting a three-dimensional (3D) image are provided. To output a 3D image, a stereo image is generated based on viewpoints of a user and rendered into a 3D image. Since the stereo image is generated based on the viewpoints of the user, the user views a different side of an object appearing in the 3D image depending on a viewpoint of the user.

An image display device (1) according to the present disclosure includes an image display unit (2) that has a pixel structure of subpixels having a plurality of colors, in which the subpixels having different colors are aligned in a first direction, and the subpixels having the same color are aligned in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and causes an observer ob to observe an image through a plurality of opening portions (24) disposed for each pixel block BL including a plurality of pixels including the subpixels having the plurality of colors. A width of each of the plurality of opening portions (24) in the first direction is substantially equal to a width of a subpixel of the subpixels in the first direction, and the plurality of opening portions (24) are disposed to be shifted in the first direction.

According to an aspect, a head-up display device, includes: a display panel configured to display a third image that is a composite of first and second images; a parallax generator configured to generate parallax of the first image and parallax of the second image; and a projection destination part onto which projection light emitted from a display surface side of the display panel and modulated by the parallax generator is projected.

A first input unit in a head-up display obtains a distance to an object. A second input unit obtains a user's eye position. An optical system projects, into the user's field of view, a virtual image of an image displayed on a display panel. A processor causes the display panel to display a parallax image. An optical element causes a first image displayed on the display panel to reach the user's first eye and a second image on the display panel to reach the user's second eye. The processor causes the display panel to display an image element in the parallax image as at least partially superimposed on the object. The processor performs first control to fix, in response to the distance to the object greater than or equal to a predetermined first distance, parallax of the image element to a value other than 0 corresponding to the first distance.
