3d television using passive polarization

This is a small portion of a panel that would be placed over an existing TV (or built in at the manufacturer) so that $.25 passive glasses could be used rather than the $100 active glasses currently used to view 3d content. It is 100% compatible with current technology and could easily be implimented instead of the active 3d currently used. This also allieviates the battery running out and syncing problems with current active glasses. I don't have the resources to make a large scale panel, so I made a small scale one for demonstration. This is the only passive polarization method that allows for absolutely no resolution loss. Current passive polarized TV's use alternating filters causing each eye to get a half resolution image. Not so with my panel.

vizio has a 65 inch LCD with passive 3d already on the market look it up

[putz11033]

@LastNameIPicked Their passive LCD uses micro-polarization layers. So what you get in each eye is 1920*540. They trick your eyes into thinking that it's full 1920*1080, but it's still sub-par. Look it up.

Samsung is coming out with this (my video) type of panel supposedly this year by means of their partner, RealD. You can look that one up as well.

I'd love to have such piece of panel to cover my 13.1 VPC-Z panel.

Could you please tell us where/how did you get it (from) ?

[putz11033]

@MikjoA I made this panel, and as far as I know there are none larger. I have called around to a few companies and they are not able to make the parts in any size larger than the one I made. Sorry, I'm still working on it.

[phdfong]

can I ask how did you make the small portion of panel?

and how come the different pictures generate different polar angle?

[putz11033]

@phdfong: I don't really want to say how I made it because I haven't patented the design just yet. But I can tell you that the images on the screen are no different from one another. The polarization is happening solely in the small panel. If I had the means I would make that panel the full size of the screen and you would have passive 3D through a full resolution screen. Any other passive techniques half the resolution of the screen. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@putz11033 the 1920*540 stretched format is the standard 3d format, why are you unhappy about it?

[tuberoako777]

Awesome work :) I guess this won't eliminate "flickering" (of w/c some people are still sensitive to).. but AT LEAST: No more battery powered glasses right? :D

AOC has just released a 23 inch passive 3d monitor for about $250 e2352Phz which might be a cheaper option comes with tridef software

[makeme708]

@LastNameIPicked VIZIO's are cheap.

Yea, I got to keep my glasses too. I'm in the use. The IMAX glasses are the ones you can't take. The real D 3D ones are ok to take though.

i see ghosting!

[NoFearKieranHere]

why does everyone say there stolen, at odeon in the UK you get to keep them :)
