NHK to Exhibit 33-Mpixel 3D Display
The Science & Technical Research Laboratories (STRL) of Japan Broadcasting Corp (NHK) revealed details about the main exhibits of the exhibition that the company will hold from May 21 to 24, 2009.
One of the main features of this year's exhibition was the "Ultra-high Definition TV" with a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 (approximately 33 Mpixels). STRL has exhibited the Ultra-High Definition TV last year and the years before. But this is the first time that the company will showcase a truly 33-Mpixel TV, according to the laboratories.
The "integral 3D TV" will be exhibited for two consecutive years. The 21-inch 3D TV was realized by using a lens array that covers an ultra-high definition panel. In addition to the use of the true ultra-high definition display, STRL reduced the lens array pitch to 1.34mm. The resolution of the 21-inch model is equivalent to 400 x 250.
"Compared with the last year's model, the vertical and horizontal resolutions of 3D images were both doubled, quadrupling the resolution in total," STRL said.
