Philips has launched a 3D display with an LCD screen size of 52″, full high definition display, a contrast ratio of 2,000 to 1 and a response time of 8ms as well as Philips 3D Solutions’ WOWvx technology.
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. [SlashGear]
