[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. And, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. The "first", "second", and similar terms used in the present disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the elements or items appearing before this term cover the elements or items listed after this term and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or items. The terms such as "connected" or "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0059] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the various figures in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions, and the purpose is only to schematically illustrate the content of the present disclosure. And the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0060] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown. The display device includes: a display area 1 and a peripheral area 2 surrounding the display area 1; the peripheral area 2 includes: an image acquisition module 3; the image acquisition module 3 includes:

[0061] An acquisition window layer 31, including a plurality of continuously arranged window units 311; the acquisition window layer 31 is configured to: determine, according to the position of the viewing user, the partial window units 311 that need to transmit light as an acquisition window 312, and control the acquisition window 312 to be in a light-transmitting state;

[0062] At least one lens module 32, located on the backlight side of the acquisition window layer 31; configured to provide a converging lens structure 321;

[0063] The image acquisition unit 33 array is located on the side of the lens module 32 away from the acquisition window layer 31; the orthographic projection of each acquisition window 312 on the image acquisition unit 33 array covers at least one image acquisition unit 33; the image acquisition unit 33 array is configured to: control at least one image acquisition unit 33 corresponding to the acquisition window 312 to collect a light field image through the converging lens structure 321 and the acquisition window 312.

[0064] In the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the window units included in the acquisition window layer are arranged continuously, when the position of the viewing user changes, the position of the acquisition window can also change continuously. Moreover, since the orthographic projection of each acquisition window on the image acquisition unit array covers at least one image acquisition unit, when the position of the acquisition window changes continuously, a light field image of the viewed scene can also be collected by the actually provided image acquisition units to form a 3D image. Since there is no area that cannot be collected by the image acquisition units in the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is no need to use a view synthesis algorithm to supplement viewpoints, which can improve the speed and quality of light field image acquisition and enhance the user experience.

[0065] It should be noted that the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the following scenarios: Two users, a and b, respectively use two display devices, A and B, for video communication; user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A, and the 3D image of user b is collected through display device B. Then user a is the viewing user. When using display device B to collect a light field image, it is necessary to determine the position of the acquisition window of display device B according to the position of user a relative to display device B. If user a moves, the position of the acquisition window of display device B also changes; user b views the 3D image of user a through display device B, and the 3D image of user a is collected through display device A. Then user b is the viewing user. When using display device A to collect a light field image, it is necessary to determine the position of the acquisition window of display device A according to the position of user b relative to display device A. If user b moves, the position of the acquisition window of display device A also changes.

[0066] Of course, in specific implementation, for the video communication scenario, multiple users can view on one side of any display device. Alternatively, the display device can also be applied to a scenario where video communication is carried out using more than two display devices. One of any two display devices among the more than two display devices corresponds to the display device on the viewing user side, and the other corresponds to the display device that needs to collect a light field image.

[0067] It should be noted that Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along Figure 1 AA' in

[0068] It should be noted that in the acquisition window layer, the area outside the acquisition window is in a light-tight state.

[0069] It should be noted that as Figure 1 shown, the peripheral area 2 includes: a first peripheral area 21 and a second peripheral area 22 respectively located on both sides of the display area 1 in the Y direction, and a third peripheral area 23 and a fourth peripheral area 24 respectively located on both sides of the display area 1 in the X direction; Figure 1 Taking the image acquisition module 3 located in the first peripheral area 21 as an example for illustration. Of course, in specific implementation, the image acquisition module can also be located in other peripheral areas.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, a plurality of window units 311 are arranged along the first direction, i.e., the X direction; the window unit 311 includes: a first substrate 313 and a second substrate 314 which are oppositely arranged, and a first liquid crystal layer 315 located between the first substrate 313 and the second substrate 314;

[0071] The first substrate 313 includes a strip-shaped first transparent electrode 3131 extending along the second direction, i.e., the Y direction; the first direction intersects with the second direction;

[0072] The second substrate 314 includes a second transparent electrode 3141; the second transparent electrodes 3141 included in the plurality of window units 311 are integrally connected, that is, the second transparent electrode 3141 is a planar electrode.

[0073] That is, in the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the acquisition window layer included in the image acquisition module is a liquid crystal cell structure, and by applying voltages to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, the liquid crystals in the first liquid crystal layer are deflected, so that the area corresponding to the acquisition window is in a light-transmitting state.

[0074] It should be noted that Figure 3 is a top view of a partial area of the first substrate.

[0075] In specific implementation, in the acquisition window layer, a plurality of first transparent electrodes are arranged at intervals along the first direction. For example, the widths of the plurality of first transparent electrodes in the first direction are the same, and the distance between any two adjacent first transparent electrodes is the same.

[0076] In specific implementation, as Figure 2 shown, the first substrate 313 further includes a first substrate 3132, and the first transparent electrode 3131 is located between the first substrate 3132 and the first liquid crystal layer 315; the second substrate 314 further includes a second substrate 3142, and the second transparent electrode 3141 is located between the second substrate 3142 and the first liquid crystal layer 315.

[0077] In a specific implementation, such as Figure 4 shown, the acquisition window layer 31 further includes: a first alignment film 316 located between the first substrate 313 and the first liquid crystal layer 315, a second alignment film 317 located between the second substrate 314 and the first liquid crystal layer 315, a first polarizer 318 located on the side of the first substrate 313 facing away from the first liquid crystal layer 315, and a second polarizer 319 located on the side of the second substrate 314 facing away from the first liquid crystal layer 315. The first alignment film and the second alignment film are used to align the liquid crystal molecules of the first liquid crystal layer.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the alignment angle of the first alignment film is 0°, the alignment angle of the second alignment film is 90°, and the transmission axes of both the first polarizer and the second polarizer are 90°. Alternatively, the alignment angle of the first alignment film is 90°, the alignment angle of the second alignment film is 0°, the transmission axis of the first polarizer is 90°, and the transmission axis of the second polarizer is 0°.

[0079] It should be noted that if the image acquisition module is disposed in the third peripheral area or the fourth peripheral area, the first direction is the Y direction and the second direction is the X direction.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the lens module 32 includes:

[0081] A first cylindrical lens layer 322, including first cylindrical lenses 3221 extending along the first direction, i.e., the X direction;

[0082] A second cylindrical lens layer 323, located on the side of the first cylindrical lens layer 322 facing away from the image acquisition unit 33 array; including second cylindrical lenses 3234 extending along the second direction.

[0083] It should be noted that the superposition of the first cylindrical lens and the second cylindrical lens is equivalent to a spherical lens as a converging lens structure. The spherical lens is a convex lens with a circular top view, which can converge a beam of parallel light into a point.

[0084] In a specific implementation, the first cylindrical lens layer may include one or more first cylindrical lenses. When the first cylindrical lens layer includes multiple first cylindrical lenses, the multiple first cylindrical lenses are arranged in sequence along the second direction, i.e., the Y direction.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second cylindrical lens layer 323 includes:

[0086] A third substrate 3231, including a plurality of strip-shaped third transparent electrodes 32311 arranged along the first direction and extending along the second direction;

[0087] A fourth substrate 3232, located on the side of the third substrate 3231 facing away from the first cylindrical lens layer 322, including a fourth transparent electrode 32321;

[0088] The second liquid crystal layer 3233 is located between the third substrate 3231 and the fourth substrate 3232.

[0089] That is, in the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second lenticular lens layer is a liquid crystal cell structure, that is, the second lenticular lens layer is a liquid crystal lens layer. By applying a voltage to the third transparent electrode and the fourth transparent electrode, the refractive power of the liquid crystal molecules in the second liquid crystal layer can be changed, so that the liquid crystal molecules in the second liquid crystal layer in the area corresponding to the acquisition window form a liquid crystal lens, that is, the second lenticular lens. When it is necessary to acquire a light field image through the acquisition window, forming a liquid crystal lens in the area corresponding to the acquisition window can be superimposed with the first lenticular lens to be equivalent to a converging lens structure, and the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window can acquire the light field image through the converging lens structure and the acquisition window. Moreover, by controlling the voltage applied to the third transparent electrode, it is possible to achieve that the formed liquid crystal lens, that is, the second lenticular lens, moves with the movement of the acquisition window. When the position of the acquisition window changes continuously, the position of the second lenticular lens can also change continuously, that is, the optical path is moved along the first direction, which can improve the acquisition accuracy of the light field image.

[0090] In specific implementation, a plurality of third transparent electrodes are arranged at intervals in the first direction. For example, the widths of the plurality of third transparent electrodes in the first direction are the same, and the distance between any two adjacent third transparent electrodes is the same.

[0091] In specific implementation, the minimum moving distance of the second lenticular lens is: the sum of the width of the third transparent electrode in the first direction and the distance between two adjacent third transparent electrodes.

[0092] In specific implementation, the fourth transparent electrode is a planar electrode provided as a whole surface.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second lenticular lens corresponds to at least two third transparent electrodes. That is, the liquid crystal is controlled to form a liquid crystal lens through at least two third transparent electrodes and the fourth transparent electrode. Thereby, it can be ensured that the formed liquid crystal lens has a good morphology. In specific implementation, the specific number of third transparent electrodes corresponding to the second lenticular lens can be selected according to actual needs.

[0094] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the third substrate 3231 further includes a third substrate 32312, and the third transparent electrode 32311 is located between the third substrate 32312 and the second liquid crystal layer 3233; the fourth substrate further includes a fourth substrate 32322, and the fourth transparent electrode 32321 is located between the fourth substrate 32322 and the second liquid crystal layer 3233.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the second cylindrical lens layer 32 further includes: a third alignment film 3235 located between the third substrate 3231 and the second liquid crystal layer 3233, and a fourth alignment film 3236 located between the fourth substrate 3232 and the second liquid crystal layer 3233.

[0096] In a specific implementation, the alignment angles of both the third alignment film and the fourth alignment film are 90°.

[0097] In a specific implementation, the width of the acquisition window in the first direction is equal to the width of the second cylindrical lens in the first direction.

[0098] In a specific implementation, Figure 1 Taking the example that the acquisition window layer has only one acquisition window when performing light field image acquisition for illustration. Of course, as Figure 6 shown, when performing light field image acquisition, it may also include multiple acquisition windows 312. For example, when there are multiple viewing users, the acquisition windows correspond to the viewing users one by one. Of course, as Figure 6 shown, it can also be set such that the two eyes 10 of each viewing user respectively correspond to two acquisition windows 312.

[0099] In a specific implementation, the number and width of the first transparent electrode and the third transparent electrode can be the same, and the distance between two adjacent first transparent electrodes can be the same as the distance between two adjacent third transparent electrodes.

[0100] In some embodiments, the materials of the first transparent electrode, the second transparent electrode, the third transparent electrode, and the fourth transparent electrode all include indium tin oxide (ITO).

[0101] In a specific implementation, the first cylindrical lens layer can also be a liquid crystal lens layer. That is, the first cylindrical lens layer can also be a liquid crystal cell structure.

[0102] It should be noted that, Figure 2 the distance is described by taking the image acquisition module including one layer of lens module as an example.

[0103] Alternatively, in some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the display device includes multiple layers of lens modules 32; the multiple layers of lens modules 32 are stacked in sequence in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the acquisition window layer 31 is located.

[0104] For the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the image acquisition module includes multiple layers of lens modules. The converging lens structure equivalently obtained by the multiple layers of lens modules has good imaging quality, can also reduce optical aberration, and further improve the image acquisition effect.

[0105] It should be noted that, Figure 7Taking the example that the middle image acquisition module includes three layers of lens modules for distance explanation, in specific implementation, the number of lens modules can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the number of lens modules can be selected according to the thickness requirement of the display device, the imaging quality requirement, etc.

[0106] In some embodiments, the image acquisition unit includes: a contact image sensor chip (Contact Image Sensor, CIS). In specific implementation, multiple CISs are arranged closely in sequence along the first direction.

[0107] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the image acquisition unit includes: a photodiode, and a transistor electrically connected to the photosensitive diode.

[0108] In specific implementation, the photosensitive diode can be an inorganic photosensitive diode or an organic photosensitive diode; the transistor is, for example, a thin film transistor. The drain of the transistor is electrically connected to the first pole of the photodiode, and the second pole of the photodiode outputs the acquisition signal of the light field image.

[0109] When the image acquisition unit includes a photodiode and a transistor, in some embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, the image acquisition module 3 further includes: an image acquisition driving chip 34, a plurality of scanning signal lines 35, and a plurality of reading signal lines 36;

[0110] In specific implementation, the scanning signal lines 35 are electrically connected to the image acquisition driving chip 34 and the gates of the transistors (not shown); the reading signal lines 36 are electrically connected to the image acquisition driving chip 34 and the photodiodes (not shown). That is, the image acquisition driving chip performs gating through the scanning signal lines to select the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window to acquire the light field image.

[0111] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, the image acquisition module 3 further includes: a data selector 37, and a plurality of reading signal lines 36 are electrically connected to the image acquisition driving chip 34 through the data selector 37. That is, the image acquisition driving chip performs gating through the data selector to select the light field image acquired by the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window. As Figure 9 shown, the image acquisition module 3 further includes: a connection lead 38 electrically connecting the data selector 37 and the image acquisition driving chip 34.

[0112] In some embodiments, the focus of the image acquisition unit and the converging lens structure is located on the same plane. That is, the image acquisition unit is located on the focal plane of the converging lens structure. Thereby, the image acquisition effect can be ensured.

[0113] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the peripheral area 2 further includes:

[0114] A depth image acquisition (Red Green Blue Depth, RGBD) camera 4 is used to acquire the depth information of the eyes of the viewing user.

[0115] A positioning module (not shown), electrically connected to the depth image acquisition camera 4, is used to determine the eye coordinates of the viewing user's eyes relative to the display device according to the depth information of the viewing user's eyes acquired by the depth image acquisition camera 4.

[0116] In a specific implementation, the RGBD camera placed on the display border is used to acquire the depth image. The positioning module processes the depth image, locates the positions of the viewing user's binoculars in the depth image, and simultaneously reads the depth information of the eyes in the depth image to obtain the 3D coordinates of the viewing user's eyes. Then, the eye coordinates of the viewing user are transmitted to the acquisition - end display device that needs to perform light - field image acquisition through the network. Based on the projection position of the eye coordinates on the screen of the acquisition - end display device, the area where the acquisition window of the acquisition - end display device is located is determined, and the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window is selected to perform light - field image acquisition. For the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the remaining image acquisition units outside the acquisition window do not participate in data processing and transmission, which can improve the speed of image acquisition, processing, and transmission. In a specific implementation, the light - field image data acquired by the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window is video data, and operations such as compression transmission, decoding, and rendering can be performed on this video data, so that the viewing user can view the view corresponding to the position of the viewed user.

[0117] In a specific implementation, the positioning module performs face detection on the depth image. After detecting the face area, it then locates the key points of the face to obtain the eye positioning and the 3D coordinates of the viewing user's eyes.

[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the depth image acquisition camera 4 and the image acquisition module 3 are located on different sides of the display area 1.

[0119] Thus, the setting of the depth image acquisition camera will not affect the acquisition range of the image acquisition module.

[0120] It should be noted that Figure 1 the example takes the image acquisition module 3 located in the first peripheral area 21 and the depth image acquisition camera 4 located in the second peripheral area 22. Of course, in a specific implementation, the positions of the image acquisition module and the depth image acquisition camera can be interchanged. Of course, the depth image acquisition camera can also be located in the third peripheral area or the fourth peripheral area.

[0121] In some embodiments, the display device further includes:

[0122] A delay compensation module is used to compensate the eye coordinates determined by the positioning module according to the delay parameter to obtain predicted eye coordinates.

[0123] It should be noted that since the eye coordinates of the viewing user need to be transmitted over the network to the acquisition end display device, there will inevitably be network delay (denoted as D1); during the processes of the acquisition end display device controlling the image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window for acquisition, processing, encoding, etc. based on the received eye coordinates, there is acquisition processing delay (denoted as D2); when the acquisition end display device transmits the video data to the viewing user's display device, it will experience network delay again. Therefore, from the eye positioning of the viewing user to the display of the video data on the viewing user's display device, the total delay is 2D1 + D2. If no compensation is performed, when the viewing user is moving, the displayed video picture will lag, affecting the user experience.

[0124] The display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a delay compensation module that can compensate the eye coordinates determined by the positioning module according to the delay parameter. Even when the viewing user is in a moving state, it is possible to avoid the situation where the displayed video picture lags.

[0125] In specific implementation, the delay parameter D = 2D1 + D2. It should be noted that for a certain display device, its acquisition processing delay D2 is basically a fixed value and can be obtained through offline measurement. The network delay D1 varies greatly with the change of the network environment, so it must be measured and estimated in real time. In specific implementation, the display device also includes a network transmission module. By adding a response mechanism in the network transmission module and calculating the response time difference, the current network delay can be estimated. After obtaining the delay parameter D, the eye coordinates can be predicted.

[0126] In specific implementation, predicting the eye coordinates can use linear motion prediction or non - linear prediction algorithms such as Kalman filtering. Next, taking linear motion prediction as an example, an illustration is given.

[0127] As Figure 10 shown, at time T0, the eye positioning position is X0, and at time T1 (the current latest eye positioning time), the eye positioning position is X1. By linear fitting, a straight line can be determined. Of course, multiple points can also be used to fit the straight line. After determining the delay parameter D, the position Xpredict of the human eye at time T1 + D can be calculated through the straight line equation, and this position is transmitted to the acquisition end display device. The acquisition window corresponding to this position and the corresponding image acquisition unit are selected to perform light field image acquisition to obtain video data, and then the video data is transmitted to the viewing user's display device, which can ensure the correspondence between the current viewing user's position and the viewing viewpoint, improve the image acquisition accuracy, and enhance the user experience.

[0128] It should be noted that for the application scenario where two users, a and b, conduct video communication using two display devices, A and B respectively, taking the example that user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A and the 3D image of user b is collected through display device B, and the image acquisition module is located in the first peripheral area. The predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device A are: left eye coordinates (x1, y1, z1), right eye coordinates (x2, y1, z1). Then the predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B are: left eye coordinates (xn - x1, y1, z1), right eye coordinates (xn - x2, y1, z1). It should be noted that the coordinate value of the leftmost edge of the display device in the X direction is 0, and the coordinate value of the rightmost edge of the display device in the X direction is xn. If the left and right eyes respectively correspond to two acquisition windows, the width of the acquisition window in the X direction is equal to the width of the second lenticular lens in the X direction. In the X direction, the center coordinate value of the acquisition window corresponding to the left eye is xn - x1, the left edge coordinate of the acquisition window corresponding to the left eye is xn - x1 - h, the right edge coordinate of the acquisition window corresponding to the left eye is xn - x1 + h, the center coordinate value of the acquisition window corresponding to the right eye is xn - x2, the left edge coordinate of the acquisition window corresponding to the right eye is xn - x2 - h, and the right edge coordinate of the acquisition window corresponding to the right eye is xn - x12 + h, where h is half of the width of the second lenticular lens in the X direction.

[0129] In some embodiments, the display device further includes: a display panel covering the display area and extending to the peripheral area; the display panel includes a plurality of pixel islands arranged in an array in the display area, and each pixel island includes a plurality of sub - pixels;

[0130] It may further include a light - transmissive spacer layer on the light - emitting side of the display panel and a light - splitting component on the side of the spacer layer away from the display panel; the light - splitting structure is used to control the light - emitting angle of each sub - pixel to make it emit light directionally; the light - splitting structure is, for example, a lenticular lens, a grating, etc.

[0131] It should be noted that the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to 3D display and can also achieve the switching between 3D and 2D displays. The pixel island can be used as a sub - pixel for 2D display. Since a pixel island includes a plurality of sub - pixels, the same resolution as 2D display can be maintained in the 3D display mode.

[0132] In specific implementation, the display panel can be one of a liquid crystal display panel (LCD), an organic light - emitting diode (OLED) display panel, a quantum dot light - emitting diode (QLED), a micro - inorganic light - emitting diode (micro LED) display panel, and a mini - light - emitting diode (mini LED) display panel.

[0133] In specific implementation, the display panel and the image acquisition module are independently arranged and then assembled into a display device.

[0134] The display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is: any product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, etc. Other essential components of the display device should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be elaborated herein, nor should they be considered as a limitation to the present disclosure.

[0135] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an image acquisition method for the above display device, as Figure 11 shown, including:

[0136] S101. Determine the position of the acquisition window of the acquisition window layer according to the position of the eyes of the viewing user, and control the window unit corresponding to the acquisition window to be in a light-transmitting state;

[0137] S102. Control at least one image acquisition unit corresponding to the acquisition window to acquire a light field image through a converging lens structure.

[0138] For the image acquisition method of the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the window units included in the acquisition window layer are arranged continuously, when the position of the viewing user changes, the position of the acquisition window can also change continuously. Moreover, since the orthographic projection of each acquisition window on the image acquisition unit array covers at least one image acquisition unit, when the position of the acquisition window changes continuously, a light field image of the viewed scene can also be acquired by controlling the actually arranged image acquisition units to form a 3D image, without using a view synthesis algorithm to supplement viewpoints, which can improve the speed and quality of light field image acquisition and enhance the user experience.

[0139] It should be noted that the image acquisition method of the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a scenario where two users, a and b, respectively use two display devices, A and B, for video communication; user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A, and the 3D image of user b is acquired through display device B. Then user a is the viewing user. When using display device B for light field image acquisition, it is necessary to determine the position of the acquisition window of display device B according to the position of user a relative to display device B, and then display device B executes the above steps S101 and S102; user b views the 3D image of user a through display device B, and the 3D image of user a is acquired through display device A. Then user b is the viewing user. When using display device A for light field image acquisition, it is necessary to determine the position of the acquisition window of display device A according to the position of user b relative to display device A, and then display device A executes the above steps S101 and S102.

[0140] Of course, in specific implementation, the display device can also be applied to a scenario of video communication using two or more display devices. In this case, in the video communication scenario, each display device that needs to collect light field images needs to execute the above steps S101 and S102.

[0143] In some embodiments, when the lens module includes a first cylindrical lens layer and a second cylindrical lens layer, and the second cylindrical lens layer is a liquid crystal lens layer, while controlling the window unit corresponding to the acquisition window to be in a light-transmitting state, it further includes: controlling the lens module to form a converging lens structure in the area corresponding to the acquisition window.

[0146] In some embodiments, the display device further includes: a depth image acquisition camera and a positioning module; before step S101 determines the acquisition window of the acquisition window layer according to the eye position of the viewing user, it further includes: the step of determining the eye position of the viewing user, specifically including:

[0148] Control the positioning module to determine the eye coordinates of the viewing user relative to the display device for acquiring the light field image according to the eye depth information of the viewing user.

[0149] It should be noted that the specific process of determining the eye coordinates of the viewing user relative to the display device for acquiring the light field image according to the eye depth information of the viewing user can be referred to the description of the display device embodiment, and will not be elaborated here.

[0150] It should be noted that for the application scenario where two users, a and b, conduct video communication using two display devices, A and B respectively, user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A, and the 3D image of user b is captured by display device B. Then user a is the viewing user, display device A is the display device corresponding to the viewing user, and display device B is the display device for capturing the light field image. It is necessary to use display device A to perform the above steps of determining the eye position of viewing user a; user b views the 3D image of user a through display device B, and the 3D image of user a is captured by display device A. Then user a is the viewing user, display device B is the display device corresponding to the viewing user, and display device A is the display device for capturing the light field image. It is necessary to use display device B to perform the above steps of determining the eye position of viewing user b.

For example, if user a and user c view the 3D image of user b through display device A, then control the depth image acquisition camera included in display device A to acquire the eye depth information of user a and user c, and control the positioning module of display device A to determine the eye coordinates of user a and user c relative to display device B according to the eye depth information of user a and user c.

For example, if user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A, and user c views the 3D image of user b through display device C, then control the depth image acquisition camera included in display device A to acquire the eye depth information of user a, control the positioning module of display device A to determine the eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B according to the eye depth information of user a, and also need to control the depth image acquisition camera included in display device C to acquire the eye depth information of user c, and control the positioning module of display device C to determine the eye coordinates of user c relative to display device B according to the eye depth information of user c.

[0160] It should be noted that for the application scenario where two users, a and b, conduct video communication using two display devices, A and B respectively, when user a views the 3D image of user b through display device A, it is necessary to use the delay compensation module of display device A to compensate the eye coordinates of user a according to the delay parameter to obtain the predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B. The network transmission module of display device A sends the predicted eye coordinates of user a to display device B, and display device B determines the acquisition window of the acquisition window layer according to the predicted eye coordinates of user a; when user b views the 3D image of user a through display device B, it is necessary to use the delay compensation module of display device B to compensate the eye coordinates of user b according to the delay parameter to obtain the predicted eye coordinates of user b relative to display device A. The network transmission module of display device B sends the predicted eye coordinates of user b to display device A, and display device A determines the acquisition window of the acquisition window layer according to the predicted eye coordinates of user b.

Specifically, it includes: the delay compensation module compensates each eye coordinate according to the delay parameter to obtain the predicted eye coordinates of each viewing user relative to the display device that captures the light field image. For example, if user a and user c view the 3D image of user b through display device A, then control the delay compensation module included in display device A to compensate the eye coordinates of user a and user c respectively according to the delay parameter to obtain the predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B and the predicted eye coordinates of user c relative to display device B. The network transmission module of display device A sends the predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B and the predicted eye coordinates of user c relative to display device B to display device B, and display device B determines the acquisition window of the acquisition window layer according to the predicted eye coordinates of user a relative to display device B and the predicted eye coordinates of user c relative to the display device.

User a views the 3D image of user b through display device A. After display device B captures the light field image, the network transmission module of display device B sends the captured light field image information to display device A for display; user b views the 3D image of user a through display device B.
