Toshiba Matsushita Display teases handheld, high res, no glasses 3D

by Richard Lawler posted Jan 6th 2009 at 4:27PM

We swore we wouldn't fall for tech demos of Toshiba Matsushita Display's sexy optically compensated bend LCDs and their CRT-like ultra wide viewing angles and high refresh rates ever again but by adding autostereoscopic 3D (read: no glasses necessary) we're falling in love all over again. By adapting a 3D film for use with 3- and 9-inch displays, this year's CES demo promises simultaneous 2D and 3D viewing on the same display in high res. How close is OCB's curved, rather than horizontally or vertically aligned liquid crystal approach to reality? Your guess is as good as ours but for now we'll wait for some eyes-on time and throw it on the wait-and-wait-and-see heap with SED and the rest.

TMD announces 7 new LED backlit panels for laptops

While you patiently wait for your favorite [insert brand] laptop to move to LED backlighting, there's no crime in checking out some nekkid panels, eh? Toshiba Matsushita Display (TMD) announced 7 new LED backlit LCDs today ranging in size from 8.9- to 13.3-inches. That 13.3-incher will need 4W to power its 1280x800 (WXGA) resolution and 300cd/m2 brightness. These panels join similar glass already shown off by Samsung and LG.Philips earlier in the year. With LED backlit laptops already trickling in, can we please crank this up to a flood already dear vendors? Thanks.
