Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/KR2024/009187 designating the United States, filed on Jul. 1, 2024, in the Korean Intellectual Property Receiving Office and claiming priority to Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2023-0085879, filed on Jul. 3, 2023, and 10-2023-0091961, filed on Jul. 14, 2023, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of each of which are all incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. BACKGROUND Field Certain example embodiments may relate to an electronic device including a three-dimensional display for displaying a stereoscopic screen and/or a method of operating the same according to an embodiment. Description of Related Art With the development of technologies of electronic devices, various types of electronic devices such as mobile communication terminals, personal digital assistants (PDAs), electronic organizers, smartphones, tablet personal computers (PCs), and wearable devices have become widely used. For example, the electronic device focuses on viewing images in which a three-dimensional effect is realized in a free location without cumbersome glasses of viewers, breaking away from the limitations of the existing 3D stereoscopic image method that requires wearing glasses. A three-dimensional display which displays glasses-free 3D stereoscopic images may fuse multi-view images into one, thereby providing different images to the left eye and the right eye using the viewer's eye time difference to provide an image in which a three-dimensional effect is realized. Further, for example, the electronic device may provide virtual reality (VR) that allows the user to experience the real world in a virtual world created by a computer, augmented reality (AR) that adds virtual information (or objects) to the real world and shows the same, and mixed reality (MR) that mixes virtual reality and augmented reality. The electronic device provides 3D stereoscopic images corresponding to virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality to the user. The information may be provided as the related art to help understanding of the disclosure. Any opinion or decision on whether the above-mentioned content can be applied as the prior art related to the disclosure has been not provided.
