- the other display apparatus 10 may be referred to as a first 3D display apparatus and the 3D display apparatus 100 may be referred to as a second 3D display apparatus.
- the 3D image signal may be a stereo image.
- the stereo image may include two images capturing one subject at different angles, that is, a left-eye image and a right-eye image.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a mobile phone as the first 3D display apparatus 10 and a television (TV) as the second 3D display apparatus 100, but the present inventive concept is not limited thereto.
- the mobile phone may be used as the second 3D display apparatus 100 and the TV may be used as the first 3D display apparatus 10.

Therefore, the conversion unit 120 may generate the output 3D image signal having the depth information in linear-proportional to the depth information of the 3D image signal. On the other hand, as described above, when the 3D image signal is not received from the other 3D display apparatus, the conversion unit 120 may also perform conversion of the 3D image signal using apparatus information of an available apparatus and the receiver information of the 3D display apparatus.
