There has been a lot of hype and excitement around Toshiba's auto-stereoscopic 3D technology. We have purposely not hyped it up here at MTBS because there was never a formal announcement about auto-stereo 3D HDTVs for consumers (though it was heavily misconstrued and hyped this way).
The verdict is in on what the core technology is and what's being offered. Read full article...
I say they make the new autostereoscopic displays with 3d pixels, as in cube or rectangle pixels that are in checkerboard fashion placed in depth. 3 or 4 back meshes of 3d cube pixels in checkerboard. Then all the tv needs to do is set the depth accordingly and how much r/g/b/y light needs to goto each side of each cube pixel to give the side viewer the extra depth and 3d image. This could also enhance 2d to 3d quite easy giving popout to almost anything. It must be called 3D checkerboard pixel depth 170 degrees extreme HD one pixel looking display technique. Almost mirror clarity except with autostereoscopic 3d.
By other terms I don't think you need a prism shaped lcd screen flim to view autostereoscopic to separate left and right, just make the whole pixel in volume cubic micromillimeters and then if this is seen right from above thers no "dot pitch at all".
What a disappointment !
I was expecting at least Toshiba to use the Cell CPU in the display to convert 2-views standard hdmi images into interpolated 9-views for the lenticular display.
