Abstract

Disclosed is three-dimensional video viewing system (1) including: display system (2) that displays three or more videos of different parallaxes in a time-division multiplexing manner, and outputs a control signal that indicates a switching timing of the videos; input means (7) for designating an arbitrary display mode among a plurality of display modes in which a plurality of three-dimensional videos different from one another in three-dimensionality are defined by a combination of two of the three or more videos; two shutters that switch a state between light transmission and light blocking; and a shutter drive circuit that specifies the switching timing of the two videos corresponding to the display mode designated by input means (7) based on the control signal, and independently controls opening/closing of the shutters at the specified switching timing of the videos.
