3D LCD Display

Powerdog writes "After 10 years of lab work, Sharp has developed a 3D LCD display that works without glasses. They expect to use the displays in games at first, and expand into PCs and TVs. Production begins in a few months and products using them should be shipping in early 2003. Naturally, I just bought two 2D LCD displays for my home office two weeks ago."

      It does bring a whole new meaning to 'pop up ads', doesn't it.

    When you actually *make* something, it's not a mystery business plan. You say, wittily:


    1. Create 3D LCD that works without glasses.
    2. ???
    3. Profit!!!


    In this case, ??? can be expressed as:

    "Sell 3D LCD for more than it cost to manufacture it."

    Okay?

    I applaud Sharp's achievements in this exciting area of optical technology, but if the display only works without glasses, this eliminates a good percentage of computer users who, like myself, have to wear glasses.

    I'll actually be impressed when I can walk around the image and see different angles.

    I have a 3D LCD display at home that works great with or without glasses.

    Now what would really be cool, is a 2D LCD display... I mean, sure they're already pretty thin.....

    oh wait.... I'm supposed to read the article first, aren't I?

    2 x 2D = 4D
    4D > 3D
