    If 3D has a future in our pockets, then it must be one that requires no spectacles. Not only are the goggles an issue, other key factors like resolution and viewing angles all need to be bettered before it stands a chance of broad adoption. NLT technology knows this, and has prototyped a 3.1-inch 3D LCD display that not only matches 2D resolution (as we've seen before,) but also offers up to six viewing angles. The display is based on existing horizontal double-density pixel technology with "HxDP" (horizontally x times-density pixels,) a new technology for creating multiple viewpoints, thrown into the mix. Standard HDDP gives a 3D image two viewpoints, HxDP allows more depending on density of sub-pixels. It also allows for both 2D and 3D images to be on-screen at the same time, meaning you can decide which version of Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked you prefer side-by-side.

  • Glasses-free 3D LCDs on the way from NEC

    Consider yourself moving closer to the no too far off in the distant future, now that the Nikkei has learned NEC is getting ready to bring its glasses-free horizontal double-density pixel 3D LCD displays to market. The first 12.1-inch models will probably have a home in arcade gaming machines, industrial design or surgery simulators when they launch early next year, but 3.1-inch versions for 3DTV on the go are in development as well. Of course they're only SVGA for now, but we'll be expecting slightly higher res once NEC works this tech up to larger sizes that can benefit from it. [Warning: registration required on read link]
