A 3D image/2D image switching display apparatus is provided with a liquid crystal
display unit and first and second lenticular lenses. To display a 3D image, the
first lenticular lens is arranged in such a way that the optical axis of the first
lenticular lens coincides with the optical axis of the second lenticular lens so
that pixels for a left eye display an image for a left eye and pixels for a right
eye display an image for a right eye. To display a 2D image, the first lenticular
lens is arranged in such a way that the optical axis of the first lenticular lens
is shifted from the optical axis of the second lenticular lens by half a lens pitch
so that the pixels for the left eye and the pixels for the right eye display the
same image independently.
