Image display device

Abstract

An image display device includes: an input unit into which image signals are inputted, the image signals being outputted from image capturing pixels disposed in correspondence to image capturing micro-lenses, each of the image capturing pixels receiving light that has passed through a corresponding one of the image capturing micro-lenses; display micro-lenses; display pixels that emit light for forming a three-dimensional image to each of the display micro-lenses, the display pixels being disposed in correspondence to the display micro-lenses; and a generator that generates display image data that includes three-dimensional information, based upon the image signals inputted into the input unit. The generator allocates the image signals outputted from the image capturing pixels to the display pixels arranged at symmetrical positions in a predetermined direction, using a pseudo-optical axis of each of the display micro-lenses as a reference.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image display device comprising:
 an input unit into which a plurality of image signals are inputted, the image signals being outputted from a plurality of image capturing pixels that are disposed in correspondence to a plurality of image capturing micro-lenses, each of the image capturing pixels receiving light that has passed through a corresponding one of the image capturing micro-lenses;   a plurality of display micro-lenses that are aligned;   a plurality of display pixels that emit light for forming a three-dimensional image to each of the display micro-lenses, the plurality of display pixels being disposed in correspondence to the plurality of display micro-lenses; and   a generator that generates display image data that includes three-dimensional information, based upon the plurality of image signals inputted into the input unit, wherein:   the generator allocates the image signals outputted from the image capturing pixels to the display pixels arranged at symmetrical positions in a predetermined direction, using a pseudo-optical axis of each of the display micro-lenses as a reference.   
     
     
         2 . The image display device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a lens that generates a virtual image of the image formed by the display image data.   
     
     
         3 . The image display device according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the lens is arranged at a position at which the image formed by the display image data can be observed as a virtual image by a user through the lens.
