DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY METHOD

Abstract

The display device includes a first liquid crystal panel that displays a first image, a second liquid crystal panel that faces a rear surface of the first liquid crystal panel and displays a second image synchronized with the first image, and an image enlargement processing unit configured to generate the second image to be displayed on the second liquid crystal panel by enlargement from a predetermined enlargement center position toward at least one end portion of the second liquid crystal panel.

Description

Claims

1. A display device comprising: a first liquid crystal panel configured to display a first image;a second liquid crystal panel facing a rear surface of the first liquid crystal panel and configured to display a second image synchronized with the first image; andan image enlargement processing unit configured to generate the second image to be displayed on the second liquid crystal panel by enlargement from a predetermined enlargement center position toward at least one end portion of the second liquid crystal panel.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the image enlargement processing unit enlarges a pre-enlargement image being an image before enlargement of the second image in such a manner that a position of a pre-enlargement display element of the pre-enlargement image gets close to the at least one end portion to generate the second image, the pre-enlargement display element being a partial region closer to the at least one end portion than the predetermined enlargement center position.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the image enlargement processing unit enlarges a pre-enlargement image being an image before enlargement of the second image from the predetermined enlargement center position isotropically in both a horizontal direction and a vertical direction in a display region of the second liquid crystal panel to generate the second image.

4. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising: a second liquid crystal panel extension processing unit configured to perform filtering to generate a pre-enlargement image being an image before enlargement of the second image by the image enlargement processing unit; andan input device configured to input at least one of a first parameter and a second parameter, the first parameter being information for the second liquid crystal panel extension processing unit to perform filtering, and the second parameter being information for the image enlargement processing unit to enlarge the pre-enlargement image.

5. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising an input device configured to input a third parameter, the third parameter being information for adjusting a display position of the second image in the display region of the second liquid crystal panel.

6. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising an angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust angles of the first liquid crystal panel and the second liquid crystal panel.

7. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising a position determination unit configured to determine a position of a viewer,wherein the image enlargement processing unit sets the predetermined enlargement center position in accordance with the position of the viewer determined by the position determination unit.

8. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising an input device configured to input position information indicating the predetermined enlargement center position,wherein the image enlargement processing unit sets the predetermined enlargement center position in accordance with a position input by the input device.

9. A display method comprising: displaying a first image on a first liquid crystal panel;displaying a second image synchronized with the first image on a second liquid crystal panel facing a rear surface of the first liquid crystal panel; andgenerating the second image by enlargement from a predetermined enlargement center position in the second liquid crystal panel toward at least one end portion of the second liquid crystal panel.
