Autostereoscopic 3D Display

I’m happy to announce you that Epson has finished developing an extraordinary LCD display with high resolution and autostereoscopic 3D technology, which allows you to watch three-dimensional videos from almost any position and without wearing those special glasses like in the case of a 3D movie screen at cinema.

To solve the problem of low resolution and limited viewing position, Epson used lenticular lens that are columnar array of cylindrical lenses that determine the view width by refraction, for a view width of 31 to 32.5 mm, unlike other models featuring 62 to 65 mm view width and enabled sharp 3D images in vivid colors on a wider area. The images are highly realistic thanks to the step 3D pixel array technology.

This multi-view system creates the illusion of depth in 3D images eliminating the resolution loss in the horizontal direction, encountered at the other similar models existent on the market, by adding 8-views lenticular lens, 384 x 256 pixels per view resolution, 450 mm best viewing distance, +/-12.5 degrees horizontal viewing angle, 2.57 inches screen diagonal, 1024 x 768 panel pixels, and low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD technology consisting of multiple small silicon crystals.


Earlier this month, Seiko Epson announced the new 3D display for cell phones and portable media players, based on the new technology, in a complex array of convex lenses combined with a high-resolution 3-inch LCD. The image is produced by capturing the subject from multiple different angles, and magnifying them, while each of the instances is displayed in a different angle to be reconstructed by your brain in a single picture.

The sad part is that you’ll have to wait for a few years to have such a cell phone display, after Epson sets things up.

Seiko Epson is famous for developing innovative products based on new technologies, such as the world's first and smallest digital printer, the world's first digital quartz watch with a six-digit LCD, world's first hand-held computer, world's first television-watch with an active-matrix LCD, world's first liquid crystal pocket color TV, and many other amazing products.
