Sony releases a bunch of new 3D displays
Jun 10th
The buzzword is 3D. Everywhere you look in the videophile forums, they’re talking about 3D. Its future is still a little hazy; glasses, no glasses, polarized, anaglyph.. no one really knows. Today, Sony has made its bets and showed a glimpse into that future by releasing its new lineup of 3D displays.
Sony has decided, for the time being, to stay with active shutter glasses that will work with their proprietary high frame rate screens, offering full HD 3D images. Most of the TVs announced will require you to purchase an additional 3D sync transmitter and the 3D glasses, $50 and $150 each respectively. However, the granddaddy television, the Bravia XBR-LX900 series will include both the sync transmitter and two pairs of the active shutter glasses. Those top-of-the-line displays come in either the 60-inch flavor for $5000 or 52-inch for $4000, and both have onboard 802.11n to connect to your network.
Other models down the line include the XBR-HX909 with 52-inch and 46-inch variants for $4,000 and $3,500 respectively and the KDL-HX800 with 55-inch, 46-inch and 40-inch models going for $3,400, $2,700 and $2,100 respectively. None of which include either the glasses or sync transmitter.
Samsung shows Transparent Amoled Display: Avatar Displays Coming Soon
May 25th
While I was pretty convinced that the over-the-top see-through displays in Avatar were the stuff of far-future science fiction, I’m beginning to think that the tech might not be that far off – especially if Samsung has anything to say about it.
Samsung Mobile Display has started showing off an AMOLED display that’s completely transparent. The 19-inch screen is the largest see-through display yet, and Samsung is working on techniques to produce this technology in displays up to 40-inches diagonal – although there’s no plan to produce the sort of curvy screens seen in Avatar.
