Stereoscopic 3D seems to be the next big thing, as evident by this year’s CES show at Las Vegas. We had 3D projectors and 3D HDTVs hitting the showfloor then, with the latter being a staple in just about every manufacturer’s press conference. Well, over the past months, more advancements in the world of 3D has been made, including Sharp coming up with a glassless 3D display for the Nintendo 3DS, not to mention 3D-enabled cellphones in Japan as well as 3D lens for digital cameras. AUO has jumped aboard the 3D bandwagon by announcing the world’s first deadzone-free naked eye 3D notebook panel at FPD International 2010. More on this technology can be read up in the extended post.
AUO will attempt to make this possible by combining lenticular lens 3D technology with SuperD’s naked eye 3D solution, resulting in deadzone-free 15.6″ notebook and 10.1″ tablet PC 3D panels which will not require you to wear any pesky special glasses, so those who already wear prescription eyewear can heave a sigh of relief that they need not stick to small frames so that the 3D glasses can fit over nicely. This technology intends to provide consumers with a more convenient and comfortable 3D viewing experience. I for one, when watching Avatar, would have loved to have this technology since my pair of Levi’s frames were far too large for the Real3D glasses to fit over nicely.
Thanks to an eye-tracking system which captures viewers’ eyeball movements, AUO’s deadzone-free naked eye 3D technology is able to overcome the confined viewing angles of conventional 3D displays. It doesn’t really matter where the location is now, as viewers will be able to perceive 3D images of equally high quality. The result? Better 3D images when viewed, not to mention a higher level of comfort for the audience. These new 3D panels will deliver high brightness and Moire-free image quality, where both 2D and 3D modes are able to operate concurrently on the same display, letting you switch back and forth between the two modes while retaining high resolution.
We can’t wait to see new types of notebooks and LCD panels equipped with AUO’s displays hit the market, and hopefully the price won’t be that inflated.
