Signal processing apparatus for a stereoscopic display

摘要

The present invention relates to a signal processing apparatus comprising first and second signal processing means (5R, 5L) for respectively converting a first video signal and a second video signal into first and second converted video signals capable of being displayed; first display means (6R) for displaying the first converted video signal at a position capable of being seen solely by an observer's right eye; and second display means (6L) for displaying the second converted video signal at a position capable of being seen solely by the observer's left eye, which is characterized by first switching means (2R) for selectively supplying the first video signal via said first and/or second signal processing means to said first or second signal display means; second switching means (2L) for selectively supplying the second video signal via said first and/or second signal processing means to said first or second signal display means; and control means (110, 111) for controlling said first and second switching means so as to be switched to any of at least two modes of four modes, said four modes being: a first display mode for displaying the first converted video signal on said first display means and the second converted video signal on said second display means; a second display mode for displaying the first converted video signal on said second display means and the second converted video signal on said first display means; a third display mode for displaying the first converted video signal on said first and second display means; and a fourth display mode for displaying the second converted video signal on said first and second display means.
