The lens panel includes a lens array and a color-resist array. The lens array includes a lens. The color-resist array includes a red color-resist unit, a green color-resist unit and a blue color-resist unit. The red color-resist unit, green color-resist unit and blue color-resist unit are arranged in an array. The present invention can at least diminish color moire patterns generated by the three-dimensional display panel during displaying an image and increase a viewing angle. | 06-30-2016 |
20160187665 | 3D DISPLAY APPARATUS - A 3D display apparatus is disclosed and has a display panel, a display panel, a collimating backlight module, a lens array and a curved diffuser array. The lens array is mounted on the display panel. The lens array is mounted on the display panel. The curved diffuser array is mounted between the display panel and the lens array. The light of a two-dimensional image projected by the display panel first goes through a diffusion treatment provided by the curved diffuser array, and then passes through the lens array to reconstruct a 3d scene. The mounting of the lens array, the curved diffuser array and the collimating backlight module is able to effectively improve the crosstalk caused by the lens aberrations of the lens array. | 06-30-2016 |
