Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A 3D display apparatus in which lenticular lenses are disposed on a display panel is provided. The display panel can include pixel regions arranged in a pen-tile shape. For example, the display panel can include a first column of pixel regions in which a first pixel region displaying a first color and a second pixel region displaying a second color are alternatively disposed in a first direction, and a second column of pixel regions in which a third pixel region displaying a third color is disposed, and the first column and the second column can be alternatively disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the lenticular lenses can extend in an inclined direction. Thus, in the 3D display apparatus, the rate of color reproduction can be improved in a pen-tile shape.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus comprising: a display panel including first columns in which first pixel regions and second pixel regions are alternatively disposed in a first direction, and second columns in which third pixel regions are repeated, the first columns and the second columns being alternatively disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and lenticular lenses on the display panel, each of the lenticular lenses inclined relative to the first direction, wherein the second pixel regions display a different color from the first pixel regions, wherein the third pixel regions display a different color from the first pixel regions and the second pixel regions, and wherein the inclination angle of each of the lenticular lenses relative to the first direction is in a range of 35.71° to 38°. 2. The 3D display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination angle of each of the lenticular lenses relative to the first direction is 36.87°. 3. The 3D display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the third pixel region is alternately disposed with the first pixel region and the second pixel region in the second direction. 4. The 3D display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the first pixel region in the first direction is larger than a length of the first pixel region in the second direction. 5. A three-dimensional (3D) display apparatus comprising: a display panel including first columns in which first pixel regions and second pixel regions are alternatively disposed in a first direction, and second columns in which third pixel regions are repeated, the first columns and the second columns being alternatively disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and lenticular lenses on the display panel, each of the lenticular lenses inclined relative to the first direction, wherein the second pixel regions display a different color from the first pixel regions, wherein the third pixel regions display a different color from the first pixel regions and the second pixel regions, and wherein the inclination angle of each of the lenticular lenses relative to the first direction is in a range of 12.34° to 15.71°. 6. The 3D display apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the inclination angle of each of the lenticular lenses relative to the first direction is 14.04°.
