2. Description of the Related Art
In general, a three-dimensional (3D) image is configured based on stereo view principles using two eyes of a person. A 3D image display may be a stereoscopic display and an autostereoscopic display. The autostereoscopic display acquires a 3D image by separating an image into a left image and a right image without using glasses, and uses, for example, a parallax barrier method and/or a lenticular method.
Here, in the case of the parallax barrier method and/or the lenticular method, once a design is completed, the design may not be readily modified, optical efficiency may be low, and a crosstalk between a left image and a right image may be relatively high. In addition, some autostereoscopic displays employing the parallax barrier method and/or the lenticular method do not readily achieve a two-dimensional (2D) display. Alternatively, even if an autostereoscopic display employing the parallax barrier method and/or the lenticular method is capable of achieving the 2D display, the quality of a 2D image may be degraded.
