Abstract
An infrared ray receiving module receives an infrared signal (transmitted by an image display device) generated on the basis of a signal representing switching between right and left eye images. An input signal type automatic judging unit and a field frequency detecting and L/R distinguishing unit acquire data relating to shutter timing of a left eye liquid crystal and a right eye liquid crystal in liquid crystal shutter glasses from the received infrared signal. An operation field frequency determining unit generates decision data relating to shutter timing to be fed to the liquid crystal shutter glasses on the basis of predetermined conditions from the data relating to shutter timing newly obtained in succession, and holds the generated decision data. A liquid crystal driving pulse generating unit can cause the liquid crystal shutter glasses to perform a shutter operation using the held decision data when no decision data is generated because the predetermined conditions are not satisfied. Consequently, it is possible to maintain the shutter operation even if the infrared signal is blocked.
