Sharp Triple Directional Viewing LCD for 3D Purposes

Sharp has developed the Triple Directional Viewing LCD, an industry first display that controls the viewing angle so that the display can show different images from the left, right, and center simultaneously. Sharp's history is one of constantly improving on LCD performance factors like contrast and viewing angle. Its innovative LCD technology has opened up new digital consumer electronics markets for products like TVs, notebook PCs, and mobile phones. Last year, the company developed two world-first products for controlled viewing angle: the two-way viewing-angle LCD and the switchable viewing-angle LCD. Already in use in products like car navigation systems and mobile phones, these displays have allowed Sharp to once again create new demand and contribute to the creation of new lifestyles.

Sharp Triple Directional Viewing LCD takes this controlled viewing-angle technology a step further. Using a proprietary parallax barrier on a standard TFT LCD, the screen splits light in three directions - left, right, and center - and displays three separate images on the same screen at the same time.
