Philips 3D Display

Posted on Jun 5, 08 10:57 AM PDT

Philips is also into the glasses-free 3D display market, except that they offer a much more generous LCD screen size of 52". You get a true blue full high definition display that has a contrast ratio of 2,000 to 1 and a response time of 8ms, bringing together Philips 3D Solutions’ WOWvx technology into the mix that offers the optical illusion of being able to “look around” what’s on-screen. How does WOWvx work?

WOWvx relies on footage being coded with depth information that indicates the position of each 2D image pixel. That information is translated into nine different views and rendered in real-time by the display hardware. A microlens layer in front of the LCD panel spatially disperses these nine different views, giving a sense of depth to the high-definition picture. Because it only requires enough data to construct a relatively basic depth profile, the bandwidth requirements for “2D-plus-Depth” are close to plain 2D video.

This won't be available for a commercial release, but will target digital signage, pro-AV, and entertainment applications instead when available.
