Chi Mei Optoelectronics New 3D Displays

Haven taken the lead in 3D LCD panel mass production back in 2007, Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) is currently the largest 3D LCD panel supplier in the industry. CMO will debut three 3D LCD display technologies, including the 23.6” 120Hz shutter-glasses monitor panel, 18.4” micro-retarder notebook computer panel with polarization glasses, and 47” naked-eye barrier 3D TV panel for both TV and public display applications.

Following last year's successful development and production of the world's first 22” 3D display with 120Hz processing and shutter glasses, CMO has launched a new 23.6” 3D display model this year. Its 16:9 widescreen format and 1920 x 1080 high resolution give gamers the most refined image quality while enjoying the 3D experience. The most attention-grabbing of all, however, is the panel's 120Hz 3D technology. Its advantage of maintaining the panel's original resolution while displaying left and right images without disruption has earned this product the distinction of being the best 3D display technology in the industry today, which has been recognized with the 2009 Taiwan Excellence Award.

The 18.4” notebook computer panel using micro-retarder technology targets the multimedia gaming notebook computer market. Combining 120Hz refresh rate, 16:9 aspect ratio and Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, its 3D screen for entertainment purposes quickly switches to 2D screen for work purposes. When used with polarization glasses, moving picture is presented in vivid 3D effect, providing consumers with sophisticated 3D visual enjoyment that will not dent their pocketbooks. Furthermore, being the industry's first panel that provides 4-lane eDP interface for high bandwidth data processing, consumers will enjoy high quality, high bandwidth 3D animation effects when using their notebook computers.

The 47” naked-eye 3D display uses barrier type technology, which creates a discrepancy between the left and right eyes, to give viewers the experience of true 3D imaging. Its multi-view design also allows viewers to see the different aspects of the 3D image from different viewing angles, as though looking at a true object floating in the air. In general, multi-view 3D displays are flawed by decreased resolution but CMO’s proprietary 47” panel has an ultra-high resolution of 2560x1440, which is four times that of normal high definition images, allowing viewers to enjoy 3D images while maintaining the fineness of the original image.
