Philips 3D TV: HDTV in 3D is a Reality!
With the launching of its theatrical 56’’, Cinema 21:9 ultra wide TV, came the announcement of its working very closely with the 3D market to produce a Phillips 3D TV, thus joining other technology giants like Sony and Panasonic in the current 3D fever that that is quickly spreading across the technological world.
Some folks are already predicting a ‘format war’ however as these three major players do not agree on format. While Phillips is supporting the stereoscopic approach, the other two plan to make of shutter glasses.
Generally, to present a 3D view like in the, there are usually different approaches making use of different types of glasses generally called 3D glasses.
Some of these filters and glasses are applicable to TV while others are mainly used for websites for enriched and increased customer appeal.
LCD shutter glasses are Liquid Crystal Display glasses that use the long-known principle of alternate frame sequencing.
A circularly polarized glass filter is a system that requires the viewers to wear special lenses to view stereoscopic images.
Infitec glasses :Interference filter technology (Infitec) are fitted with glasses which split each component of the visible light (ROYGBIV) into two bands (R1R2O1O2Y1Y2G1G2B1B2I1I2V1V2).AS A RESULT, an optical illusion of massive 3D images are perceived by the visual cortex.
Complementary colour anaglyphs: is a method that employs the principle of common multiple filters which usually filter off some colours to produce a resultant colour which will depend on what filters are used.
Compensating diopter glasses comprises a method for stereoscopic imaging when high precision is the goal. It finds application in science, stereo macros, and animation studio applications.
ColorCode 3-D is an improvement over traditional Anaglyphic 3D filters ensuring improved depth information and better color separation.
Chromadepth glasses employ view foils containing microscopic prisms. It based on the fact that prisms are excellent separators of light.
Anachrome “compatible” color anaglyph glasses give a wider color range and make it possible to boost some sensitive colour tones.
"Red eye" shutterglasses depends entirely on the red filter while suppressing the green and blue components of the traditional RGB filters. It has the potential capacity of eliminating ghosting, improved contrast thus producing an excellent image. It is reputed as being more eye friendly than other methods.
According to Phillips authorities, they have chosen to stick to stereoscopic approach in their 3D TV and have chosen to introduce a new technology called the 3DWOW - WOWvx Technology.
Philips 3DWOW - WOWvx Technology
The Philips 3D Solutions have come up with a new introduction to their fleet. A 42" autostereoscopic 3D display TV which will be suitable for both family and professional applications. This technology is based on a HD panel using the principle of Integrated advanced display signal-processing.
No need for 3D glasses
One of the several advantages offered by the Phillips 3D is Autostereoscopic display.
This comprises a large 3D viewing zone with no need for 3D viewing glasses thereby making it possible for multiple to experience the 3D experience simultaneously.
Multi-view lenticular technology
This ensures that you do not have to choose either brightness or contrast at the expense of the other. It is empowered with a full contrast and full brightness features all making it possible to experience true colour presentation.
High quality 3D and 2D mode: this allows users a 2D video playback with autosensing between both the 3D and 2D modes.
End-to-end system solution: with its integrated intelligent signal processing capacity, and a flexible 3D data format and optional extras of openGL visualize and control, there is no need for a plug in.
