Ever since the first 3D movies came out, the populace has been yearning for a day when 3D glasses would be unnecessary, and it seems that Eizo is contributing to making that dream come true with the FDF2301-3D.
Eizo
revealed its DuraVision FDF2301-3D monitor with no need for 3D glasses at the start of December.
It is a 23-inch display that is fairly massive, measuring 650 x 261.7 x 566.3 mm and weighing an actual 16 kg.
Still, Eizo more than justified this weight and more or less massive size by actually implementing not just the naked eye 3D, but also a directional backlight that allows for Full HD quality.
What this means is that the product has a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.
The newest press release issued by Eizo invests a few paragraphs into explaining how the 3D works.
According to the company, the directional backlight itself displays parallax images which “make up the naked-eye 3D images from the same pixel in a time lag.”
The display also has the advantage of lacking the moire and color stripes that parallax barriers or lenticular lens es normally cause on naked eye 3D screens.
This is possible because “the direction of the parallax image that reaches the viewer’s left and right eyes is determined by the LED light source of the LCD monitor.”
For those that need a reminder, the product has a recommended viewing distance of 890mm and can use multiple 3D modes (Side by Side, Anaglyph, Frame Sequential, and Dual Input).
The release of the DuraVision FDF2301-3D is set for the second quarter of 2011, at which point the monitor should start being used in academic institutions and the private sectors, with such things as SEMs (scanning electron microscopes) and semiconductor inspection equipment.
The price will be in the 'millions of yen' range, meaning at least US$12,000, since that is the rough equivalent of one million yen.
