Embedded stereoscopic 3d display and 2d display film stack

Abstract

An LCD device with 3D and 2D sections. The device includes an LCD panel, a light guide with a backlight, and an embedded 3D-2D film stack positioned between the LCD panel and the light guide. The 3D and 2D sections provide for simultaneously viewing visual content in 3D and 2D formats. The device can also include a frame providing a barrier between the 3D and 2D sections and can include other features to enhance the display.

1 . A stereoscopic 3D display, comprising:
 a liquid crystal display panel;   drive electronics configured to drive the liquid crystal display panel with alternating left eye and right eye images;   a light guide and a backlight positioned to provide light to the liquid crystal display; and   a double sided prism film positioned between the liquid crystal display panel and the light guide;   wherein the display includes a 3D section providing for visual information in a 3D format and having sufficient disparity depth cues within the 3D section to allow a viewer to effectively discern disparity information.   
     
     
         2 . The display of  claim 1 , wherein the 3D section comprises a no content zone adjacent to a display bezel. 
     
     
         3 . A stereoscopic 3D display, comprising:
 a liquid crystal display panel;   drive electronics configured to drive the liquid crystal display panel with alternating left eye and right eye images;   a light guide and a backlight positioned to provide light to the liquid crystal display; and   a double sided prism film positioned between the liquid crystal display panel and the light guide;   wherein the display provides a substantially uniform perceived luminance along a length of the light guide.
