On Monday Toshiba announced that it has created the first LCD TV that can create 3D images without the need for glasses, they are calling it the ‘Regza GL1 series’.
Using a tech that's close to the Nintendo 3DS the larger of the two TVs Using a cell processor, this is also used in the PS3, to produce the images.
The viewers however are going to have to sit in a specific area to get the 3D affect, even though this is a limitation it is still a step forward, but one of the major hurdles is with the current state of the global economy will people buy them? And if they do, will it replace 2D TV?
The two TVs I mentioned earlier are: the 20GL1 with a 20-inch screen, and the 12 GL1 with a you guessed it 12-inch screen.
“They use an integral imaging system and a perpendicular lenticular sheet to display smooth images. Toshiba's image processing technology creates nine parallax images from the original content and renders them in 3D. Both have high-definition LED backlit LCD panels created for 3D capability without glasses.” (I did copy paste that, i only just grasp it but i seemed important so i put it in.)
Although it may be small screens and a limited viewing area, it is still a step forward in the tech, so hopfully it will get bigger screen and larger viewing area.
