Behavioral Circuit Models of Stereoscopic 3-D Liquid Crystal Displays and Shutter Glasses

Abstract

In this paper, behavioral circuit models of a stereoscopic 3-D liquid crystal display (LCD) and shutter glasses (SGs) are proposed. Until now, no study has been conducted on a model that can demonstrate the optical behavior of a 3-D LCD panel, because it includes black frame insertion. In addition, a circuit model of SGs should be established to completely illustrate the behavior of a stereoscopic 3-D LCD system. These circuit models can accurately predict the optical responses of dynamic transitions in 3-D LCD systems and those of SGs. We can then develop a complete behavioral model of the stereoscopic 3-D LCD system by combining the behavioral models of both the 3-D LCD panel and SGs. SmartSPICE simulations are performed to verify our model, which is implemented by an analog hardware description language, Verilog-A. On the basis of these simulation and measurement results, we can conclude that the proposed behavioral circuit models can accurately describe the optical responses of combined displays such as stereoscopic 3-D LCDs.
