Reuters reported that Sharp — the biggest mobile phone manufacturer in Japan — is planning to launch a smartphone with a 3D LCD display that doesn’t require you to wear those dorky 3D glasses.
On top of that, the Sharp 3D phone will very likely come packing a camera that’s capable of taking 3D images. Apart from that, little else is revealed about the 3D phone. A spokesperson from Sharp said that the brand’s 3D phone is slated for international launch late this year.
And if you’re wondering why 3D displays that don’t require 3d glasses are not implemented on panel TVs, well it’s because devices with small screens make it much easier to have 3D screens due to the fact that people using these devices tend to look at the display from a fixed distance and angle, making it technologically less difficult to offer a 3D function.
That explains the reason why the 3D camera we saw a few months back (main picture above) could display 3D images without the need for 3D glasses.
3D smartphones, does that turn you on?
