Samsung was showing off their next big thing: A super-high res 3D HDTV. It boasts 4k by 2k resolution on 70 inches of screen giving it magnificent 2D and 3D quality.
Sharp and NHK may be bringing us the 33-million pixel HDTV but Samsung’s 8-million pixel, 70-inch HDTV sounds impressive in its own right. Samsung showed off their 4000 by 2000-resolution 3DTV (so-called 4k-by-2k) at the Society for Information Display conference in Los Angeles just last week, according to MIT Technology Review.
The answer lies in shrinking pixels and using better transistors. In most cases, manufactures can’t miniaturize pixels because the current silicon transistors can’t conduct electrons fast enough to work with miniaturized parts. Luckily Samsung has metal oxide transistors, which can and do very well at conducting electrons quickly. Also the implementation of these metal oxide backplanes is inexpensive and is one of the few mixes— IGZO: indium, gallium, and zinc—that work with current technology.
Current HDTV video comes in 1920-by-1080 or 1280-by-720 pixel resolutions, depending on whether it’s 720p or 1080i/1080p, so presumably 4k-by-2k will be the next step. A 1080p TV has a bit over 2 million pixels, so 4k-by-2k would be quite a step up. Other vendors have toyed with 4k-by-2k,, including Toshiba and its “Cell TV”. This might be the first time we here at GeekTech have heard about a 3D 4k-by-2k TV, though.
But what does this have to do with 3D? Simply the fact that the resolution is crisper than ever you can be sure that the 3D image will be as clear as real life with 20/20 vision. The depths that you see will look more authentic and everything to do with color and light will provide an undeniably awesome 3D experience.
