Patent attributes
A three-dimensional image display apparatus is provided. The three-dimensional image display apparatus, which includes an image forming display flat panel and a lens unit that is disposed in front of the image forming display flat panel and converts images projected from the image forming display flat panel into three-dimensional images. The lens unit includes a set of diffractive optical devices, each of which includes a plurality of diffractive grating elements that are parallel to one another and are disposed above the image forming display flat panel. Accordingly, the three-dimensional image display apparatus uses diffractive optical devices, each of which is composed of diffractive grating elements having very narrow widths, thereby displaying two- and three-dimensional images of good quality.
