What deserves to be explained is, among Fig. 6 be for indicate the first linear polarization polarized state of light that display panel 61 provides and first linearly polarized light after TN box 62 is switched in pointwise polarization state and display panel 61, pointwise are switched have a determining deviation respectively between TN box 62 and the single refraction lens arra 63, during concrete enforcement, described display panel 61, pointwise are switched TN box 62 and can closely be contacted placement with single refraction lens arra 63.In addition, only the annexation of schematically having drawn control module 65 and pointwise switching TN box 62 among Fig. 6, in fact each electrode in 65 pairs of described pointwises switching TN boxes 62 of control module are controlled separately.
Below 4 imaging optical path figure of 2D-3D 3 d display device shown in Figure 6 are described, wherein go up two first linearly polarized lights and reflect at last, following two the first direct transmissions of linearly polarized light specify their principle below.
As can be seen from Figure 6, because need carry out 3D to last two first linearly polarized lights shows, control module 65 makes the liquid crystal that two the first pairing pointwises of linearly polarized light are switched in the pixel display area of TN box 62 work in second state, therefore last two first linearly polarized lights of incident keep former polarization characteristic to pass this pointwise switching TN box 62, then pass single refraction lens arra 63 and incide birefringent lens array 64, this moment is because the polarization direction of first linearly polarized light of incident is parallel with described birefringent lens array 64 optical axis directions, so birefringent lens array 64 is n for the refractive index of this first linear polarization light e, because the refractive index n of single refraction lens arra 63 lGreater than n e, first linearly polarized light that therefore is incident in described birefringent lens array 64 reflects on the interface of single refraction lens arra 63 and birefringent lens array 64, and the optical effect of described birefringent lens array 64 shows as convex lens.In this case, this 2D-3D 3 d display device can propagate into two light of final outgoing respectively the left eye and the right eye of human eye, makes human eye see the 3D stereo-picture, and promptly this 2D-3D 3 d display device adopts the 3D mode to show last two light.
Switch following two first linearly polarized lights of TN box 62 for being incident in described pointwise, control module 65 makes the liquid crystal that the pairing pointwise of following two first linearly polarized lights is switched in the pixel display area of TN box 62 work in first state, therefore following two first linearly polarized lights of incident are rotated by 90 degrees by this pointwise switching TN box 62 rear polarizer directions, become the second linearly polarized light outgoing; Described subsequently second linearly polarized light is incident upon described birefringent lens array 64 through described single refraction lens arra 63, this moment, therefore described birefringent lens array 64 was n with respect to the refractive index of this second linearly polarized light because the polarization direction of second linearly polarized light of incident is vertical with the optical axis direction (i.e. the polarization direction of first linearly polarized light) of described birefringent lens array 64 o, because the refractive index n of single refraction lens arra 63 lEqual n oPromptly the refractive index of single refraction lens arra 63 is identical with the refractive index of birefringent lens array 64 at this moment, therefore this second linearly polarized light does not reflect the described birefringent lens array 64 of the second linearly polarized light straight-line pass at the interface in described single refraction lens arra 63 and birefringent lens array 64.In this case, this 2D-3D 3 d display device adopts the 2D mode to show following two first linearly polarized lights shown in Figure 6.
Single refraction lens arra 63 and birefringent lens array 64 in the 2D-3D 3 d display device shown in Figure 6 can also have other array mode, other single refraction lens arra for example mentioned among the CN201126495 and the array mode of birefringent lens array are not described in detail in this.
The pointwise switching TN box that the embodiment of the invention is provided is used for the 2D-3D 3 d display device, can realize independent control to the single pixel of image display panel, also can control a plurality of pixels of image display panel, not only realization is simple, control is flexible, and can significantly improve the display quality of 2D-3D 3 d display device.
Above-mentioned embodiment only is schematic; rather than restrictive, those skilled in the art is not breaking away under the scope situation that this method aim and claim protect under the enlightenment of this method; can also make a lot of distortion, these all belong within protection scope of the present invention.
