1. An electronic device, comprising:
a multi-view generation circuit, configured to obtain three-dimensional image data and convert the three-dimensional image data into multi-view data; and
a light-field conversion circuit, configured to convert the multi-view data into a stereoscopic light-field pair;
wherein the three-dimensional image data comprise a stereoscopic image pair consisting of a left image and a right image;
wherein the multi-view data comprise a left multi-view image and a right multi-view image;
wherein the multi-view data are arranged into a two-dimensional array having a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension;
wherein the vertical dimension corresponds to a first angular resolution of the left multi-view image and the right multi-view image in a vertical direction; and
wherein the horizontal dimension corresponds to a second angular resolution of the left multi-view image and the right multi-view image in a horizontal direction.
