Sharp Developing Glasses-Free 3D for Mobile

Japanese electronics company Sharp has recently announced that they have developed a new 3D touchscreen LCD that doesn’t require special 3D glasses.

They were able to develop the 3D screens without the need for glasses by using parallax barriers. And what does that mean? Both transmissive and non-transmissive columns are used to trick the brain’s visual cortex into see three dimensions when viewed from different angles. I know – my brain hurts too.

Sharp plans to begin mass production of the no-glasses 3D screen during the first half of 2010, with an unknown release date. The Japanese electronics company believes up to 50% of its screens can be 3D-enabled before 2012.
