Sharp Develops Triple Directional Viewing LCD

morpheus83 writes "Sharp Corporation and Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Ltd. (SLE) have developed the Triple Directional Viewing LCD, a display that controls the viewing angle so that the display can show different images from the left, right, and center simultaneously. Using proprietary parallax barrier on a standard TFT LCD, the screen splits light in three directions — left, right, and center — and displays three separate images on the same screen at the same time. So connect three computers to the LCD and from the center you see Windows, Linux from the left and MacOS from the right."

Laptops?

Forget the privacy filter, Goatse on the left, Goatse on the right, and that commercial would be far more interesting!

Or conversely... I could look at porn and the people sitting to the left and right of me would see legitimate work... now just sit back and imagine the possibilities...

In fact, you may just get the big sweaty guy next to you to move to another seat

Yeah but what if the opposite happens and he not only gets aroused, but thinks you're coming on to him. Chances are low, to be sure, but are you willing to take that chance?

are you saying that porn is illegitimate work? That's a bastard.

Now all we need....

That's definitely a tech breakthrough!

Great for work

[theantipop]

Development apps when viewed from the left, debugging processes when viewed from the right, and Slashdot in the middle. You'd appear like the hardest working employee ever.

Companies across the globe increase the number of workers per cubicle to three.

MacOS on the right?!

[adenied]

Oh sure, put MacOS on the right. This is a blatant attack on Mac users by Windows users to associate them with politics that many aren't familiar with. Come on everyone knows Mac users are liberal emo hippies. This is just insulting!

Rotate the fucker.

[agent]

Rotate it from landscape to portrait.

Outstanding technology that still needs two wooden mirrors to work (for teh lazy necks among us).

Hogwash. One could easily use metal mirrors, or even glass.

Ultra Extreme Programming

[javaxjb]

It's clearly intended for ultra extreme programming: one wide desk and three keyboards. The programmers on the left and right write the code and the person in the center works on continous merges of the best ideas. A fourth back seat drivers continuously runs from left to right giving directions and asking why they aren't just checking the UML.

Never, I repeat, NEVER use the words goatse and bleed in the same sentence!

Is no one at all even remotely worried that this hypothetical situation includes all three people in a vehicle looking at a display instead of the road?
