Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the above-mentioned display device for stereoscopic viewing (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 1) does not disclose switching between a stereoscopic image and a planar image, nor discloses various types of display in which a stereoscopic image and a planar image are switched. method
[0013] In addition, in the above-mentioned game machines for stereoscopic display (Patent Documents 2 to 4), although the switching between the stereoscopic image and the planar image is performed depending on whether parallax is given to the two eyes, the visual brightness of the stereoscopic image and the planar image match. , but due to the existence of cylindrical lenses, image dividers, etc., it tends to be difficult to view flat images
In particular, when an image divider is used, the light is wasted because the image divider continues to block light even when a planar image is displayed.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0041] Hereinafter, the game machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described based on the drawings.

[0042] figure 1 , is a front view of the game machine according to the first embodiment. The game machine 2 shown in the figure is a pinball game machine; The front frame 3 is mounted on the main frame 4 on the outside so that it can be opened and closed and rotated through the hinge 5; A cover glass 7 covering the front of the game board 6 is attached to the front frame 3 .

[0043] On the surface of the game board 6, a game area surrounded by guide rails is formed, and an image display device 8, which is a special pattern display device, is provided approximately in the center of the game area. The image display device 8 can shift the left-eye image element and the right-eye image element to display at different positions, and can display binocular images that can be viewed stereoscopically by using the parallax effect of ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0072] Hereinafter, a game machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The game machine of the second embodiment is a modification of the display control device 70 and the like in the game machine of the first embodiment, and has the same configuration as the game machine of the first embodiment for parts not particularly described.

[0073] Figure 10 (a) is for explaining the operation of the display control device 70 and the image display device 8 , and is a flowchart for explaining the control of the illuminance of illumination light and the like in switching from a planar image to a stereoscopic image. In this case, not only the adjustment signal output from the CPU 71 to the lighting device 81 is earlier than the switching signal output from the CPU 71 to the LCD barrier 83 according to the response time difference, but also the switching signal output to the LCD barrier 83 is continuously or gradually stepped. Increase. First, ...

Abstract

The invention provides a display device which enables the smooth switching of the visual recognition brightness in display between stereoscopic and flat images while securing the brightness and ready visibility in the display of the flat images. When the stereoscopic image display mode is entered with an LCD barrier (83) off, a lighting device (81) turns on the low intensity of illumination to illuminate a display panel (82) by light of a relatively low luminance. On the other hand, when the flat image display mode is entered with the LCD barrier (83) on, the lighting device (81) turns on the high intensity of illumination to illuminate the display panel (82) with light of a relatively high luminance. At this point, the on / off switch of the LCD barrier (83) and the high / low luminance switch of the lighting device (81) are matched in timings, thereby reducing visual discrepancy as felt in the switch from the flat to stereoscopic images.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a display device suitable for being incorporated into a game machine such as a pinball machine, a vending machine (slot machine), an arcade game, etc. A control method, and a game machine incorporating the display device. Background technique [0002] As a display device for stereoscopic viewing, there is a display device in which a parallax barrier is arranged on the viewer's side of a color liquid crystal panel, and an image for the right eye and an image for the right eye are alternately displayed every other line on the display screen of the color liquid crystal panel. Left-eye image (Patent Document 1). At this time, a second color filter arranged opposite to the color filter of the color liquid crystal panel is disposed between the backlight and the color liquid crystal panel, thereby improving the color purity of the color liquid crystal panel. [0003] In addition, as another display device for stereoscopic vi...
