发明名称 Display controller, display device, image processing method, and image processing program for a multiple viewpoint display
摘要 To overcome issues generated due to the light-shield part in a display device which displays different images towards a plurality of viewpoints, and to provide a device for easily synthesizing images to be displayed on a display part. A display controller includes: an image memory which stores viewpoint image data for a plurality of viewpoints; a writing control device which writes the viewpoint image data inputted from outside to the image memory; a parameter storage device which stores parameters showing a positional relation between a lenticular lens and the display part; and a readout control device which reads out the viewpoint image data from the image memory according to a readout order obtained by applying the parameters to a repeating regulation that is determined based on layout of the sub-pixels, number of colors, and layout of the colors, and outputs it to the display module as synthesized image data.

主权项 1. A display controller for outputting synthesized image data to a display module which includes: a display part in which sub-pixels connected to data lines via switching devices controlled by scanning lines are arranged in m-rows and n-columns (m and n are natural numbers), which is driven by (m+1) pieces of the scanning lines and at least n pieces of the data lines; and a first image separating device which directs light emitted from the sub-pixels towards a plurality of viewpoints in a sub-pixel unit; the display controller comprising: an image memory which stores viewpoint image data for the plurality of viewpoints; a writing control device which writes the viewpoint image data inputted from outside to the image memory; a parameter storage device which stores parameters showing a positional relation between the first image separating device and the display part; and a readout control device which reads out the viewpoint image data from the image memory according to a readout order that is obtained by applying the parameters to a repeating regulation that is determined based on layout of the sub-pixels, number of colors, and layout of the colors, and outputs the readout data to the display module as the synthesized image data, wherein: the display part is formed by having an up-and-down sub-pixel pair that is formed with two of the sub-pixels arranged by sandwiching one scanning line as a basic unit; the switching devices provided respectively to the two sub-pixels are controlled in common by the scanning line sandwiched by the two sub-pixels and are connected to different data lines from each other; the up-and-down sub-pixel pairs neighboring to each other in an extending direction of the scanning lines are so disposed that the switching devices thereof are controlled by the different scanning lines from each other; the number of colors of the sub-pixels are three colors of a first color, a second color, and a third color; provided that “y” is a natural number, one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to y-th scanning line is the first color and the other color is the second color, the pair forming either an even-numbered column or an odd-numbered column of the display part; one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to (y+1)-th scanning line is the second color and the other color is the third color, the pair forming the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to (y+2)-th scanning line is the third color and the other color is the first color, the pair forming either an even-numbered column or an odd-numbered column of the display part; one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to (y+3)-th scanning line is the first color and the other color is the second color, the pair forming the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to (y+4)-th scanning line is the second color and the other color is the third color, the pair forming either an even-numbered column or an odd-numbered column of the display part; one of the colors of two sub-pixels of the up-and-down sub-pixel pair connected to (y+5)-th scanning line is the third color and the other color is the first color, the pair forming the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; and according to a following readout order from the image memory, the readout control device: reads out the first color and the second color by corresponding to the y-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; reads out the second color and the third color by corresponding to the (y+1)-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; reads out the third color and the first color by corresponding to the (y+2)-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; reads out the first color and the second color by corresponding to the (y+3)-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; reads out the second color and the third color by corresponding to the (y+4)-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part; reads out the third color and the first color by corresponding to the (y+5)-th scanning line, and reads out a viewpoint image which corresponds to the other one of the even-numbered column or the odd-numbered column of the display part.
