Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display; an image processor which generates a first image including sequential first frame data and a second image including sequential second frame data; an image data generator which generates image data comprising the first frame data and the second frame data alternately; and a control signal generator which generates a shutter glasses control signal that opens shutters for both eyes of a first pair of shutter glasses when the first frame data is displayed on the display, and that closes the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses when the image data including the second frame data is displayed on the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display;
an image processor configured to generate a first image comprising sequential first frame data and a second image comprising sequential second frame data;
an image data generator configured to generate image data which comprises the first frame data and the second frame data alternately; and
a control signal generator configured to generate a shutter glasses control signal that opens shutters for both eyes of a first pair of shutter glasses when the first frame data is displayed on the display, and that closes the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses when the second frame data is displayed on the display.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a receiver configured to receive image content, wherein the image processor generates the first image using the image content.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the image processor generates a third image comprising sequential third frame data based on the image content, and the third image is an image for a person with a color vision deficiency, with at least one of red, green and blue emphasized more than the rest of the colors.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the image data generator generates the image data comprising the first through third frame data sequentially.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the control signal generator generates the shutter glasses control signal that opens the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses open and closes the shutters for both eyes of a second pair of shutter glasses, when the first frame data is displayed on the display; that closes the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses and the second pair of shutter glasses, when the second frame data is displayed on the display; and that closes the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses and opens the shutters for both eyes of the second pair of shutter glasses, when the third frame data is displayed on the display.

6. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the image processor determines a luminance of the first image, based on a ratio of a time to display the first frame data to the total time to display an image on the display.

7. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the image processor determines a luminance of the first image based on a ratio of opening to closing of the shutters of the first pair of shutter glasses driven by the shutter glasses control signal.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second image is an image for light therapy that enables at least one of light having a maximum energy amount in an infrared range, light having a maximum energy amount in an ultraviolet range, and light having a maximum energy amount in a blue light range to be emitted by the display.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second image is a light therapy image to be emitted by the display for performing at least one of treating a skin disorder, controlling biorhythm, treating depression, treating a skin inflammation, and treating cancer.

10. A display system comprising:
the display apparatus of claim 1 ; and
the first pair of shutter glasses that opens or closes the shutters for both eyes simultaneously by receiving the shutter glasses control signal.

11. A display system comprising:
the display apparatus of claim 5 ;
the first pair of shutter glasses that opens or closes its shutters simultaneously by receiving the shutter glasses control signal; and
the second pair of shutter glasses that opens or closes its shutters simultaneously by receiving the shutter glasses control signal.

12. A display apparatus comprising:
a display configured to display a first image, a second image, and a third image alternately; and
a control signal generator configured to generate a shutter glasses control signal that opens first shutters for both eyes of a first pair of shutter glasses and closes second shutters for both eyes of a second pair of shutter glasses when the first image is displayed on the display, that closes the first and second shutters when the second image is displayed on the display, and that closes the first shutters and opens the second shutters when the third image is displayed.

13. The display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first image comprises red, green, and blue color data, the second image is a light therapy image, and the third image is converted from the first image and emphasizes one of the red, green and blue color data more than the rest of the color data.

14. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the light therapy image causes the display to emit light in one of an infrared, an ultraviolet, or a blue light range.

15. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the display includes self-emissive pixels.

16. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the light therapy image causes the display to emit light in one of a first range of 100 to 380 nanometers, a second range of 454 to 490 nanometers and a third range of 800 to 1000 nanometers.

17. A display apparatus comprising:
a display configured to display a first image and a second image alternately; and
a control signal generator configured to generate a shutter glasses control signal that opens shutters for both eyes of a first pair of shutter glasses when the first image is displayed on the display, and that closes the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses when the second image is displayed on the display.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising:
a receiver configured to receive image content; and an image processor configured to generate the first image using the image content; and
wherein the second image is an image for light therapy that enables at least one of light having a maximum energy amount in an infrared range, light having a maximum energy amount in an ultraviolet range, and light having a maximum energy amount in a blue light range to be emitted by the display.

19. The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the image processor generates a third image based on the image content; the third image is an image for person with a color vision deficiency, with at least one of red, green and blue emphasized more than the rest of the colors; and the display displays the first through third images alternately.

20. The display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the control signal generator generates the shutter glasses control signal that opens the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses open and closes the shutters for both eyes of a second pair of shutter glasses, when the first image is displayed on the display; that doses the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses and the second pair of shutter glasses, when the second image is displayed on the display; and that doses the shutters for both eyes of the first pair of shutter glasses and opens shutters for both eyes of the second pair of shutter glasses open, when the third image is displayed on the display.
