Abstract

In a 3-D image display device, a parallax barrier having a plurality of apertures is provided in front of an LCD element. Each aperture is equipped with a color filter of any one of red, green, and blue colors. The LCD element conducts monochromatic display, and hence, no color filters are provided therein. In the LCD element, regarding each color, a pixel group is provided at each position corresponding to the color filter of the color, the pixel group being composed of a plurality of pixels which are driven in response to an image signal corresponding to the color. With this arrangement, when the number of parallax images for a 3-D image is increased so that a fine 3-D image is obtained, the yield of the display element, and further, the yield of the 3-D image display device, can be improved. Besides, the cost of the device can be lowered.
