Toshiba 3D TV Technology

The last Las-Vegas CES 2009 exhibition has demonstrated, that in nowadays there are several 3D TV systems ready to conquer the world’s market. In other words, the equipment for inserting the 3-rd dimension in ordinary 2D image is ready, and now the TV, movie and game industries are in need of the content interesting for consumers. Among several companies, representing its screens, the most notable was Toshiba. This company offered an interesting idea. For watching 3D-TV one needs glasses, but at the same time the producer of screens for cell phones and MP3 players Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology has demonstrated small screens, showing great stereo image with no glasses. The secret is in thin film, developed in 3M company. The film itself transmits the picture to right and left eye sequentially. The effect is same to old postcards, where the light beam curves due to thick plastic layer. The film is getting the market this year, and, maybe, next Christmas you will have a cell phone with 3D screen as a present. But the problem with 3D content is still actual.
