Display panel for 3-dimensional display device and 3-dimensional display device comprising the same

Abstract

A display panel for a 3-dimensional display device is provided. The display panel includes a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix form having a row and column with each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels. Further, the plurality of unit pixels form each of a plurality of pixels alternately arranged with each other for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye. In addition, at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel.

1 . A display panel for a 3-dimensional display device, the display panel comprising:
 a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix form having a row and column, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, said plurality of unit pixels being alternately arranged with each other and forming each of a plurality of pixels for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye,   wherein at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel and   wherein the plurality of sub-pixels are arranged so a sub-pixel arranged at a leftmost side of a first unit pixel is arranged at a rightmost side of a second unit pixel located adjacent to and below in a row direction of the first unit pixel and so the sub-pixels in each row are repeated in a same pattern.   
     
     
         2 . A display panel for a 3-dimensional display device, the display panel comprising:
 a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix form having a row and column, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, said plurality of unit pixels being alternately arranged with each other and forming each of a plurality of pixels for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye,   wherein at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel and   wherein each unit pixel for the viewer's left eye and unit pixel for the viewer's right eye adjacent to each other in a column direction have a same pattern of sub-pixels to form a pair of unit pixels.   
     
     
         3 . The display panel of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the plurality of sub-pixels are arranged so the sub-pixels in each row are repeated in a same pattern.   
     
     
         4 . A 3-dimensional display device comprising:
 a display panel including a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix form having a row and column, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, said plurality of unit pixels being alternately arranged with each other and forming each of a plurality of pixels for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye, wherein at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel; and   a light dispersing layer arranged in a front surface of the display panel and configured to allow light that has passed through the pixels for the viewer's left eye among light to enter only the viewer's left eye and light that has passed through the pixels for the viewer's right eye among light to enter only the right eye so that the viewer recognizes a 2-dimensional image provided from the display panel as a 3-dimensional image,   wherein the plurality of sub-pixels are arranged so a sub-pixel arranged at a leftmost side of a first unit pixel is arranged at a rightmost side of a second unit pixel located adjacent to and below in a row direction of the first unit pixel and so the sub-pixels in each row are repeated in a same pattern.   
     
     
         5 . A method of manufacturing a display panel for a 3-dimensional display device, the display panel comprising:
 arranging a plurality of unit pixels in a matrix form having a row and column, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, said plurality of unit pixels being alternately arranged with each other and forming each of a plurality of pixels for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye, wherein at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel and   arranging the plurality of sub-pixels so a sub-pixel arranged at a leftmost side of a first unit pixel is arranged at a rightmost side of a second unit pixel located adjacent to and below in a row direction of the first unit pixel and so the sub-pixels in each row are repeated in a same pattern.   
     
     
         6 . A method of manufacturing a display panel for a 3-dimensional display device, the display panel comprising:
 arranging a plurality of unit pixels in a matrix form having a row and column, each unit pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, said plurality of unit pixels being alternately arranged with each other and forming each of a plurality of pixels for a viewer's left eye and pixels for the viewer's right eye, wherein at least one unit pixel has a different arrangement of sub-pixels than another unit pixel and   wherein each unit pixel for the viewer's left eye and unit pixel for the viewer's right eye adjacent to each other in a column direction have a same pattern of sub-pixels to form a pair of unit pixels.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein
 the arranging step arranges the plurality of sub-pixels so the sub-pixels in each row are repeated in a same pattern.
