Japan Display has developed a 12.2-inch (30cm) diagonal high resolution LCD display panel switchable between true 2D and rel 3D autostereoscopic modes. By employing a variable parallax barrier to show stereoscopic 3D images without glasses, Japan Display enabled to switch between 2D and 3D display modes and to change the viewing direction of 3D images. Also, to optimize the 3D viewing area, the company synchronized the variable parallax barrier with a head-tracking system.
The 2D/3D switchable LCD display can be used in car navigation systems, in order to track the driver’s head position and produce the appropriate 3D images. This display resolution in 2D-mode is 720 HD (1920 x 720 pixels), becoming in 3D-mode a still very comfortable (dual) 960 x 720 pixels.
Specs:
- Screen size: 30cm diagonal 12.2-inch
- Number of pixels in 2D-mode: 1920 x 720
- Number of pixels in3D-mode: 960 x 720
- Luminance in 2D-mode: 1300cd/m2
- Luminance in 3D-mode: 500cd/m2
- Contrast ratio: 1300:1
- 3D-mode viewing area: 54 degrees
- 3D-mode viewing distance: 880mm
- 3D-mode crosstalk: 3.8% (Min)
Visible at the SDI Display Week
Japan Display will showcase the device at The Society for Information Display (SID) Display Week 2013 international symposium, held on May 21 to 23, 2013. The company plans to demonstrate the panel showing 3D images and using a head-tracking system.
