Sharp screen "3D" for mobile phone

The Japanese Sharp announces the next generation of LCD screen can reproduce a stereoscopic image without the need to wear a pair of glasses adapted. Initially, the technology developed will remain confined to the mobile phone market.

Sharp says he managed to overcome this constraint. Its screen would have a physical layer that can redirect light along two different angles, so as to send two separate images to the man who holds in his hand. The device that the manufacturer does not elaborate further, is called "parallax barrier", referring to the term which refers to variations on the observation of an object on the user's position.

The allusion is not trivial, since the screen does not restore Sharp's 3D terrain and users correctly placed in the center of the slab, if it is placed approximately 30 cm from their eyes. If necessary, they will see a blurred image.
