Sony doet 3D-TV, Samsung en natuurlijk Philips. Philips had hem in 2009 de ontwikkeling; de 3D-TV waarbij je geen irritante bril nodig hebt. Ondanks de grootste lanceringen van de diverse 3D-TV’s en dito uitzendingen, is de koper niet heel erg positief over het TV-kijken met bril. Hoofdpijn, brilirritaties en een vlak 3D-effect lijken de opmars van 3D TV te stuiten. Het Japanse Toshiba lijkt de oplossing te hebben voor een prettige 3D-oplossing voor op de TV. Toshiba is -in Nederland- geen überbekende TV-producent maar wist begin dit jaar reeds te verrassen met een 2D naar 3D TV-conversie. Een vinding die veel SES-bloggers over het hoofd hebben gezien helaas. De TV wordt 21 inch, wordt waarschijnlijk einde 2010 gelanceerd, kost enkele duizenden dollars en toont natuurlijk full HD.

“The integral imaging system offers a significant reduction in eye fatigue during long periods of viewing, and features a multi-parallax[1] design that enables motion parallax, which cannot be achieved by systems using glasses. The multi-parallax approach results in images that change depending on the viewer’s position. In addition, the viewing angle is wide, and the resulting stereoscopic image is natural and smooth. In some previous integral imaging implementations, there have been issues raised relating to the loss of effective image resolution. In previous implementations, if the number of pixels in the display is kept constant and not increased, then the multi-parallax approach will reduce the effective resolution of the 3D display in an inverse proportion to the number of parallax positions. We have addressed this problem by applying LTPS (low-temperature poly-silicon) technology to develop an ultra-high-definition LCD module for this newly-introduced high-definition and large-screen 3D display.
This 21-inch auto-stereoscopic high-definition display adopts a lens sheet to control reduction in surface luminance intensity, resulting in brightness comparable to standard 2D displays. The power consumption of the display is relatively low. The new 21-inch display is considered to be environmentally friendly with low power usage. Furthermore, the display can be used in a vertical or horizontal position. When used in the vertical position, the user faces the upright screen from the front as a person would usually use a 2D monitor. However, when used in the horizontal position, the user overlooks the stereoscopic image formed by the display lying face-up, as one would overlook a relief model. Compared with the front view, the 3D images seen face-up from the bird’s eye view are more stereoscopic and realistic.”
