Now a days, electronics and entertainment companies around the world are banking on 3-D to fuel a new boom in TV, movies and games. Most 3-D TVs on the market today rely on glasses to rapidly deliver separate images to each eye, which creates a sense of three-dimensional depth and as a result it remains to be one of the biggest consumer complaints about the technology.
The most sensational news from the electronic world is that the Tokyo-based company, Toshiba had unveiled the world's first high definition liquid crystal display 3-D television that does not require special glasses.
The system used in this new 3-D TV is similar to what's used in Nintendo's 3DS, the company's highly anticipated handheld device that features glasses-free 3-D gaming. Here Toshiba uses a "perpendicular lenticular sheet", which consists of an array of small lenses that directs light from the display to nine points in front of the TV. If a viewer is sitting within the optimal viewing zone, the brain integrates these points into a single 3-D image. The result is precise rendering of high quality 3-D images whatever the viewing angle within the viewing zone.
Toshiba will offer two sizes - 12 inches and 20 inches - designed for personal use. The technology isn't advanced enough yet to integrate into larger screens. Suggested viewing distance for the 20-inch model is 90 centimeters (35.4 inches) and 65 centimeters (25.6 inches) for the 12-inch size. This new 3-D TV will start it's sale from the end of this year and will cost about 120,000 yen ($1,400) for the smaller version and almost double for the larger version.
One thing to be noted is that the viewers will have to be very close to the screen for the 3-D effect to really work and there is nothing said about the overseas availability of this world's first high definition liquid crystal display 3-D television from Toshiba.
