The present disclosure relates to a naked-eye three-dimensional display device and a control method thereof.
A working principle of a three-dimensional (3D) display technology is that: with respect to a same scene, the left eye and the right eye of a viewer are made to respectively receive an image, and a spacing between both eyes of the viewer in a horizontal direction (i.e., a pupil distance, about 65 mm) makes subtle difference in a viewing angle of both eyes; due to existence of such difference, images respectively observed by the left eye and the right eye of the viewer are also slightly different, the difference is referred to “binocular parallax”, the images with the difference observed by the left eye and the right eye constitute a “stereoscopic image pair”, and the “stereoscopic image pair”, as fused by a brain visual cortex, achieves a stereoscopic effect.
Currently, when viewing with a stereoscopic display device, the viewer needs to wear stereoscopic spectacles; since a size of the stereoscopic spectacles is usually fixed, viewers with different face shapes may not be able to obtain better user experience when viewing with the stereoscopic glasses; in addition, with respect to a viewer who originally wears spectacles (for example, near-sighted spectacles, far-sighted spectacles, etc.), in order to obtain a stereoscopic viewing effect, he/she needs to overlap two pairs of spectacles, which is inconvenient to use and reduces the user experience. Therefore, a naked-eye 3D technology that implements stereoscopic display without help of an auxiliary tool emerges as the times require.
With development of the naked-eye 3D technology, naked-eye 3D display devices are also widely used. At present, at the time of shipment of an existing naked-eye 3D display product, correspondence between position coordinates of a first viewer and a second viewer and a viewpoint is already determined, that is, a viewing position corresponding to the viewpoint is determined.
