Mobile 3D LCD Handheld No Glasses Required

Sharp's new 3D liquid crystal displays – LCD push bright, clear imagery without the cumbersome glasses traditionally required for such technology. However, so far it available only in a 3-inch mobile device screen held one foot from the viewer's face for optimal viewing. 

Sharp Corp. (SHCAY.PK) demonstrated liquid crystal screens Friday for mobile devices that showed 3D animation, touch-panel screens that switched from one 3D photo to another and a display connected to a mobile 3D video camera. 

Movies and TVs in 3D are no longer surprising. Sony Corp. (SNE) and Panasonic Corp. (PC) of Japan, as well as South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. (SSNLF.PK) and LG Electronics (LGERF.PK), offer 3D TVs. 

With Sharp’s announcement there is no need for special glasses, instead the new 3D technology show different images to the right eye and the left eye. Sharp's 3-D technology is designed to shoot different images to each eye.  

The technology is set for release next in the DSi -portable handheld game machine, that Nintendo Co. reports will be 3D. Sharp refused to confirm the names of companies it was supplying. Mass production of the 3-D LCDs is set to start in the first half of fiscal 2010.
