The 3D thing is in fashion. Or living a second youth, thanks to stereoscopic technology. We already know that Sharp is trying to get a run in this field, and its research into vision systems without shutter glasses is already paying off: in the first half of 2011 we will see the first autonomous 3D handheld console (the Nintendo 3DS) and the first generation of mobiles equipped with this technology (the Sharp Galapagos). And how do the major panel manufacturers, Samsung and LG, react ? Obviously, getting on the train of three dimensions.
During the last FDP in Japan (a technology fair that was held last week), Korean manufacturers put out muscle with their organic diode displays (OLED panels) that can reproduce content in three dimensions without the need to put on the uncomfortable glasses. In both cases, manufacturers have opted for 3.2-inch screens, although the resolutions change according to the inventor.
LG, for its part, presented variable resolution screens. This means that depending on whether or not 3D content is played, the pixel condensation changes. If we put pictures dimensional, because really what we see are two overlapping images, the panel happens to have a density of 320 x 360 pixels, which normally increases to 360 x 640 pixels (resolution nHD, so fashionable are putting the Nokia phones).
LG's proposal was in a test prototype so that the public attending the Japanese event could take a look at where the shots of this manufacturer would go. Instead, Samsung brought to the FDP a generic mobile that already incorporated the 3D panel installed.
In this case, the low resolution to 240 x 400 pixels. The reason that these resolutions in 3D mode are not very high should be found in the processors, since when projecting two images with the stereoscopic function, the consumption of resources is much more demanding than in other conditions.
