A switchable stereoscopic display system, wherein the switchable
stereoscopic display system can display two-dimensional and
three-dimensional images, includes: an organic light emitting diode
(OLED) display device; Electronics that rapidly updates individual OLEDs;
and a linearly polarizer for the OLED display device. Additionally, a
circular polarizing layer changes light from linearly polarized light to
circular polarized light. A polarization layer, on top of the circular
polarization layer, switches a polarization direction of emitted light
within the OLED display device. Other electronics switches the
polarization direction within independent segments of the polarization
layer. Refreshed OLEDs are synched with the independent segments of the
polarization layer.
