Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing 3D image display technologies for flat panel screens with sub-pixels in Delta configuration, such as right shifted and left shifted Delta configurations, lack practical solutions for multi-view 3D image combination and conversion, and the existing 2-view 3D image combination formulas do not cover multi-view applications or provide different image combination methods, limiting their application scope.
Innovation Solution
The development of multi-view 3D image combination methods, including right slant and left slant multi-view 3D image combination formulas, and the use of view separation devices like slantwise step parallax barriers, slantwise strip parallax barriers, slant lenticular sheets, or slantwise step micro lenticular lens arrays to display 3D images on flat panel screens with sub-pixels in Delta configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing 2-view 3D image combination formulas are used, then 2-view 3D images can be displayed, but multi-view 3D images cannot be generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops multi-view 3D image combination formulas that generalize the existing 2-view formulas, enabling the same mathematical framework to handle both 2-view and multi-view cases. This universal approach allows a single set of formulas to adapt to different view counts while maintaining reliable image combination capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic parameters in the combination formulas that can be adjusted based on the number of views required. By making the formulas adaptable to different view configurations rather than fixed for 2-view only, the system achieves both versatility across applications and reliability in image combination.
2Stability of the object's composition
If sub-pixels are configured in Delta configuration, then spatial continuity is improved, but multi-view 3D image combination methods are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary configuration of sub-pixel image data according to Delta configuration patterns before the actual 3D image combination process. By pre-organizing the sub-pixel data in the correct spatial arrangement, the subsequent multi-view combination becomes more straightforward and manageable, reducing the effective complexity of the overall procedure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the multi-view 3D image combination process into distinct stages: sub-pixel image configuration, view combination, and final image generation. This segmentation allows each stage to be handled independently with appropriate methods, making the overall complex procedure more tractable while preserving spatial continuity benefits of Delta configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing image combination methods are used, then processing is simple, but the methods do not cover multi-view applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the existing image combination formulas by introducing adjustable parameters that control the number of views and their spatial relationships. By changing these parameters, the same basic combination method can accommodate 2-view, 3-view, or multi-view applications without requiring entirely different approaches, thus expanding view coverage while controlling complexity.

AI summary
A 3D image display device mainly includes a multi-view image, a view memory, a memory image configuration, combination, and conversion procedure, a display memory, a conversion display controller, a display screen having sub-pixels in Delta configuration, and a view separation device. The memory image configuration, combination, and conversion procedure mainly performs processes of sub-pixel image configuration sequence conversion and multi-view image combination on the multi-view image, and outputs a recovered multi-view combined image. The conversion display controller mainly performs sub-pixel image data configuration sequence conversion on image data on even-numbered or odd-numbered horizontal scan lines of the recovered multi-view combined image, and then outputs the horizontal scan image data. The display screen having sub-pixels in Delta configuration receives the horizontal scan image data and displays the recovered multi-view combined image. The view separation device performs view separation on the recovered multi-view combined image to provide a 3D image.
