What deserves to be mentioned is that optical unit 232 is pancratic design in the present embodiment, so the first picture F1 can be identical with the size of the second picture F2.Therefore, the show image of first display panel 210 and second display panel 220 does not need can alleviate through adjusting in addition the burden of chip for driving.
Fig. 5 (a) ~ (b) is the method synoptic diagram that the another kind of one embodiment of the invention shows 3 D stereoscopic image, wherein is to be that example is so that explanation with single optical unit 232.Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 (a) ~ (b), except the mode of above-mentioned generation 3 D stereoscopic image, when the image of the first picture F1 and the second picture F2 varies in size, can adjust the focal length of a plurality of optical units 232 so that the first real image R1 is identical with the image size of the second real image R2.
Shown in Fig. 5 (a), first display panel 210 of display device 200 and second display panel 220 are for showing simultaneously.In order to obtain the size identical first real image R1 and the second real image R2, the focal length of optical unit 232 is adjusted to the 3rd focal length f3.In the picture frame time t1 that first display panel 210 and second display panel 220 show simultaneously, the 3rd focal length f3 is for example for immobilizing.In addition, the difference between second depth of field DF2 of first depth of field DF1 of the first real image R1 and the second real image R2 for example is first depth of field difference Δ d1.
Then, shown in Fig. 5 (b), in the picture frame time t2 that first display panel 210 and second display panel 220 show simultaneously, the image of the first picture F1 and the second picture F2 varies in size in picture frame time t1.Therefore, the focal length of a plurality of optical units 232 is adjusted to the 4th focal distance f 4 to obtain the size identical first real image R1 and the second real image R2.In picture frame time t2, the 4th focal distance f 4 immobilizes, and the difference between second depth of field DF2 of first depth of field DF1 of the first real image R1 and the second real image R2 is second depth of field difference Δ d2.
By Fig. 5 (a) ~ (b) as can be known, first depth of field difference Δ d1 and second depth of field difference Δ d2 can change along with the image difference in size of the first picture F1 and the second picture F2.Therefore, in different picture frame time t1, t2, the user can experience the image of different stereo effects.That is to say that present embodiment can be adjusted the focal length of optical unit 232 according to the image difference in size of the first picture F1 and the second picture F2, to produce the 3 D stereoscopic image that size is identical, depth of field difference is different.
See through the method for above-mentioned demonstration 3 D stereoscopic image, can make display device shown in Figure 2 200 show 3 D stereoscopic image.Particularly, in the above-described embodiments, see through the focal length variations of varifocal optical unit 232 and the show image size of the first picture F1 and the second picture F2, can further strengthen the depth of field difference of 3 D stereoscopic image.Therefore, the user utilizes display device 200 can obtain better stereopsis display effect.
In more detail, have the function that changes focal length for making above-mentioned optical unit 232, a plurality of optical units 232 for example are made up of a plurality of Zoom lens unit.Particularly, optical unit 232 can be liquid crystal lens (liquid crystal lens) unit 300, shown in Fig. 6 (a) ~ (b), or electric moistening lens (electrowetting lens) unit 400, shown in Fig. 7 (a) ~ (b).

When light L enters liquid crystal lens unit 300, at first can make light L have specific polarization direction through polaroid 310.Then, light L moves on and passes through first glass substrate 320, liquid crystal layer 330 and second glass substrate 340.At last, because the optical effect of liquid crystal molecule 332, light L can focus on focus 351 in the outside of second glass substrate 340.
For the focal length that makes liquid crystal lens unit 300 changes, can apply a voltage difference V to liquid crystal layer 330, shown in Fig. 6 (b).Generally speaking, when the transparency electrode 334 of the both sides up and down of liquid crystal layer 330 was provided voltage difference V, liquid crystal molecule 332 can be subjected to the influence of voltage difference V and deflection.At this moment, light L is by liquid crystal layer 330 time, and direct of travel can change to some extent.Therefore, light L can be a focus 352 in the position of second glass substrate, 340 exterior focusings, and its focus 351 with Fig. 6 (a) is different.In brief, the liquid crystal layer 330 that sees through liquid crystal lens unit 300 applies voltage difference V, can cause the focal length of liquid crystal lens unit 300 to change.
In addition, with regard to the electric moistening lens unit 400 shown in Fig. 7 (a) ~ (b), electric moistening lens unit 400 for example comprises first glass substrate 410, second glass substrate 420, first electrode 432, second electrode 434, insulation course 440 and between the water layer W and the oil reservoir O of 420 of first glass substrate 410 and second glass substrates.Because the interface S between water layer W and oil reservoir O be the curved surface shown in Fig. 7 (a), light L passes through first glass substrate 410, and when passing through water layer W and oil reservoir O, light L will disperse and non-intersect.
For the focal length that makes electric moistening lens unit 400 changes, can apply voltage V to first electrode 432 and second electrode 434, shown in Fig. 7 (b).At this moment, the positive and negative electric charge of insulation course 440 both sides gathers the surface tension T that can change between water layer W and oil reservoir O.Therefore, light L can focus on focus 451 below second glass substrate 420 behind the interface S that passes through between this water layer W and oil reservoir O.
Hence one can see that, and first electrode 432 and second electrode 434 are applied the optical property change that voltage V can cause electric moistening lens unit 400.More particularly, the size of control voltage V can change the focal length of electric moistening lens unit 400.
See through and use the liquid crystal lens unit 300 shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6 (a) ~ (b), or the electric moistening lens unit 400 shown in Fig. 7 (a) ~ (b), can make optical unit 232 have the function that changes focal length.
In sum, because display device of the present invention has varifocal optical unit, so display device can utilize different display frame to present 3 D stereoscopic image.The present invention shows the method for 3 D stereoscopic image, experiences the different 3 D stereoscopic image of the depth of field in the time of can making the user watch the shown image of above-mentioned display device.In addition, the image space of stereopsis more can not be restricted, so the user can be according to the stereoscopic sensation and the telepresenc of its hobby adjustment 3 D stereoscopic image, to obtain different 3 D stereoscopic image display effects.
