Stereoscopic LCD viewer developed for improved image and comfort

25 January 2006 Opto-Electronics

Stereo displays provide a quicker and more accurate extraction of information and offer a more realistic experience than conventional 2D viewing. Planar's new SD1710 is claimed to be the first desktop stereoscopic display to offer the desirable characteristics afforded by conventional AMLCDs (active matrix liquid crystal displays) - such as high image quality and resolution, flicker-free viewing, ease of computer interfacing and a wide viewing angle enabling multiviewer use.

The SD1710 uses Planar's StereoMirror technology. Two 17" AMLCD monitors are arranged in an up/down configuration separated at a 110° angle. A semitransparent mirror is positioned at a bisecting angle between the two monitors. When combined with the user wearing polarising glasses, the stereo separation is generated.

CRT stereoscopic displays can typically cause eye strain, headaches, or even nausea from alternately blinking right and left images. Auto-stereo (glasses-free) displays restrict users' head positions to a specific 'sweet spot' with no room for movement over extended periods of time. Planar says that its new unique beam-splitter approach creates a stereoscopic 3D monitor that retains the full resolution, response time and colour saturation of the individual monitors. Typical users would be geoscientists, cartographers, engineers, image analysts and environmental planners.
