25.4L: <i>Late‐News Paper</i> : A Novel Polarizer Glasses‐Type 3D Displays with an Active Retarder

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we suggested a novel method achieving high resolution and high brightness in the glasses‐type 3D displays and fabricated a prototype of 15″ size in diagonal, which is composed of an active retarder synchronized with an image panel. The active retarder is configured to a TN mode to have a function of polarization switching for the input polarization states. We expect that the AR3D technology can give high resolution and high brightness for the 3D users with a convenience of simple polarizer glasses and an inexpensive cost compared with the shutter glasses type 3D display, where not only the image panel and but also the glasses should have an LCD panel.
