Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a naked-eye three-dimensional display device and a control method thereof.


BACKGROUND

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.

At present, an existing naked-eye three-dimensional display device divides an image of a display panel into different portions according to space through a grating in front of the display panel, a good three-dimensional effect may only be achieved by observation at a fixed position. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of human eyes at different positions corresponding to different viewpoints. As shown in FIG. 1, a liquid crystal grating 202 in front of a display panel 201 divides an image on the display panel into different portions according to space, and according to different viewpoint positions of the human eyes, i.e., a viewpoint position A to a viewpoint position E, by a viewing effect of the liquid crystal grating 202, the display panel 201 is divided into five viewpoints 1 to 5. If a position of the human eyes with respect to the liquid crystal grating 202 can be determined, then two viewpoints seen by both eyes of the viewer may be determined. For example, when both eyes of the viewer are respectively located at the viewpoint position E and the viewpoint position D, the viewer can see images displayed by the viewpoint 5 and the viewpoint 4, and based on a binocular parallax principle, when the viewpoint 5 and the viewpoint 4 display a naked-eye three-dimensional image that the viewer needs to see, the viewer can see the three-dimensional image. However, the inventor of the present application finds by research that, with respect to the existing naked-eye 3D display device, when a viewing position of the viewer changes, a position corresponding to the eye of the viewer changes, and a viewpoint corresponding to the eye of the viewer also changes; in this way, a viewpoint interference region will be generated, causing image crosstalk, so that the viewer is unable to continue to see a better three-dimensional picture, and at a same time, anti-peeping between two viewers cannot be implemented.


In order to overcome the problems of 3D image crosstalk caused by the change of the position of the viewer and inability to implement anti-peeping, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a naked-eye three-dimensional display device and a control method thereof.

The reading first previous viewing information, the first previous viewing information being viewing information of the first viewer at a previous moment, and determining a first previous viewpoint corresponding to the first previous viewing information, is specifically embodied as: in FIG. 3, reading viewing information of the first viewer P1 at the position A at the previous moment, position coordinates corresponding to the position A are (X0, Y0), and finding the viewpoint (SZ0, SY0) corresponding to the coordinates (X0, Y0) at the position A at the previous moment from Table 1, that is, determining the first previous viewpoint (SZ0, SY0) corresponding to the first previous viewing information.


The comparing the first current viewpoint with the first previous viewpoint, and determining the viewpoint interference region of the first viewer, is specifically embodied as: comparing the viewpoint corresponding to the position B with the viewpoint corresponding to the position A, wherein, the viewpoint corresponding to the position B is different from the viewpoint corresponding to the position A, and with respect to the liquid crystal grating at the previous moment, when the first viewer P1 moves to the position B, the viewpoint of the first viewer P1 changes, so it is possible to determine that after the first viewer P1 moves from the position A to the position B, there must be a viewpoint interference region. In FIG. 3, a solid line indicates a viewpoint range when the first viewer P1 is at the position B, and a dotted line indicates a viewpoint range when the first viewer is at the position A. With respect to a right eye of the first viewer, the viewpoint range of the right eye when the first viewer is at the position A is “4”, and a viewpoint range of the right eye when at the position B is “a portion of 3+a portion of 4”. With respect to a left eye of the first viewer, a viewpoint range of the left eye when the first viewer is at the position A is “5”, and a viewpoint range of the left eye when at the position B is “a portion of 4+a portion of 5”. By comparing the viewpoint range at the position B with the viewpoint range at the position A, it is possible to obtain a viewpoint interference region L of the left eye and a viewpoint interference region R of the right eye, when the first viewer is at the position B.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adjusting the width and/or the position of the light transmitting region of the liquid crystal grating according to the first current viewing information and the viewpoint interference region, and removing the viewpoint interference region from the viewing position of the first viewer, includes:

Calculating a width and/or a position of an ideal light transmitting region corresponding to the first current viewing information, according to the center-to-center spacing and the viewpoint interference region;


Adjusting the width and/or the position of the light transmitting region of the liquid crystal grating according to the width and/or the position of the ideal light transmitting region, and removing the viewpoint interference region from the viewing position of the first viewer.


For example, the calculating a width and/or a position of an ideal light transmitting region corresponding to the first current viewing information, according to the center-to-center spacing and the viewpoint interference region may comprises: under a condition that the viewpoint interference region exists, calculating a width and/or a position of an ideal light transmitting region corresponding to the first current viewing information according to the first current viewing information and/or the center-to-center spacing.


Wherein, the obtaining a center-to-center spacing between two adjacent light transmitting regions of the liquid crystal grating, according to the first current viewing information, is specifically embodied as that: the center-to-center spacing between the two adjacent light transmitting regions of the liquid crystal grating may be obtained by a formula bellow:

The calculating a width and/or a position of an ideal light transmitting region corresponding to the first current viewing information, according to the center-to-center spacing and the viewpoint interference region, is specifically embodied as: determining a width and/or a position of an ideal light transmitting region corresponding to both eyes of the first viewer at a current viewing position, according to the center-to-center spacing and the viewpoint interference region obtained.


The adjusting the width and/or the position of the light transmitting region of the liquid crystal grating according to the width and/or the position of the ideal light transmitting region, and removing the viewpoint interference region from the viewing position of the first viewer, is specifically embodied as: adjusting a width and/or a position of the liquid crystal grating, after obtaining the width and/or the position of the ideal light transmitting region, and removing the viewpoint interference region from the viewing position. FIG. 3 shows viewpoint interference regions, i.e., a region L and a region R, respectively corresponding to the left eye and the right eye of the first viewer, the width and/or the position of the liquid crystal grating is adjusted according to the region L and the region R as well as the center-to-center spacing, and the region L and the region R are respectively made to locate outside the viewing position, so that the viewer's left eye may only see the viewpoint 5, and the right eye may only see the viewpoint 4. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the liquid crystal grating adjusted, showing a liquid crystal grating 202′ adjusted according to the width and/or the position of the ideal light transmitting region. By adjusting the liquid crystal grating, the first viewer P1 may only see the viewpoint 4 and the viewpoint 5 at the position B, so a better three-dimensional image effect may be achieved for the first viewer.



FIG. 6a shows a structural schematic diagram of the liquid crystal grating in this embodiment. The liquid crystal grating includes a plurality of extremely small electrode regions 300; each electrode region 300 may be separately charged, to control liquid crystal deflection within the present region to form a grating. FIG. 6b is a schematic diagram of the grating formed by the liquid crystal deflection within the electrode region 300, and the liquid crystal grating includes a light transmitting region 301 and a non-light transmitting region 302. When the position of the viewer changes, a width and/or a position of the light transmitting region 301 and/or the non-light transmitting region 302 are adjusted according to the center-to-center spacing and the viewpoint interference region obtained; FIG. 6c is a schematic diagram of the liquid crystal grating adjusted; by comparing FIG. 6b with FIG. 6c, it can be seen that, in order to locate a viewpoint overlapping region outside the viewing position, the positions and the widths of the light transmitting region 301 and the non-light transmitting region 302 change.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining a second current viewpoint corresponding to the second current viewing information according to the width and/or the position of the light transmitting region of the liquid crystal grating adjusted, and adjusting the output picture of the display panel, according to the second current viewpoint, includes:

The image collector obtains the second current viewing information, and the second current viewing information includes position coordinates (X1′, Y1′) of the second viewer at the current moment.


The second previous viewing information is read, the second previous viewing information includes second previous position coordinates (X0′, Y0′), and by looking up Table 1, the second previous viewpoint (SX0′, SY0′) corresponding to the second previous position coordinates (X0′, Y0′) is obtained. According to the position coordinates (X1′, Y1′) of the second viewer at the current moment, the binocular pupil distance of the second viewer in the second current viewing information, and the width and/or the position of the light transmitting region of the liquid crystal grating adjusted, a second current viewpoint (SX1′, SY1′) corresponding to the second current viewing information is determined. According to the second current viewpoint (SX1′, SY1′) and the second previous viewpoint (SX0′, SY0′), the output picture of the display panel is adjusted, and a picture corresponding to the second previous viewpoint (SX0′, SY0′) is output at a position of the second current viewpoint (SX1′, SY1′) of the display panel. Thus, when the position of the second viewer changes, a better three-dimensional picture may be seen as well; in addition, in this way, it also prevents the second viewer and the first viewer from simultaneously seeing a same viewpoint, so as to implement anti-peeping between the second viewer and the first viewer.



FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of viewpoints corresponding to two viewers according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 7, a viewpoint corresponding to the second viewer P2 is (1, 2). When the first viewer P1 moves from the position A to the position B, as shown in FIG. 3, the width and/or the position of the liquid crystal grating change. As shown in FIG. 5, the adjusted liquid crystal grating is 202′. At this time, the second viewer P2 moves from a position C at the previous moment to the position (X1′, Y1′) at the current moment, and with respect to the adjusted liquid crystal grating 202′, the second current viewpoint of the second viewer is (SX1′, SY1′), then, the display panel is adjusted, so that the viewpoint SX1′ of the display panel outputs a picture corresponding to the viewpoint 1, and the viewpoint SY1′ outputs a picture corresponding to the viewpoint 2.
