PRACTICAL TWO-FRAME 3D+2D TV

摘要

Our inventive method enables stereoscopic 3D displays to be watched by 3D and 2D viewers simultaneously. Ghosted images observed on traditional 3D displays can be eliminated for viewers without stereoscopic glasses while 3D perception is preserved for viewers with glasses. A preferred method for displaying an image on a 3D+2D television comprises displaying a composite image ("L+wN"), comprising a left ("L") image and a weighted image ("wN"), for a first period of time; and displaying a right ("R") image for a second period of time. The display of "wN" partially cancels out the perception of "R" to mitigate ghosting for viewers not wearing 3D eyeglasses. In the illustrative embodiment, "wN" is a weighted negative version of "R".
