In the television market, the display of three dimensional (3D) that do not need new glasses is limited to the plan. However, the 3D display that does not need glasses rather than wishful thinking. Because Sharp Corp. has succeeded in producing 3D screen free glasses. Sharp reveals, 3D display technology was developed based on LCD (liquid crystal display) Touch screen.
However, 3D Display from Sharp's is not suitable for use on television because of the size of the 3D display is only 3 inches. To enjoy the perfect 3D view, users should view these 3D displays from a distance of 30 cm from the screen. Because the 3D display that measures just 3 inches then the 3D display is more suitable for use on handheld gadgets.
Not long after Sharp announced its success in developing free glasses 3D display, Nintendo Co. Ltd. said ready to release a handheld game console free 3D glasses at the end of 2010 or early 2011. That product is called 3DS. Do not want to catch from Nintendo, Sharp also claim to be ready released smartphone screen has a free 3D glasses at the end of 2010.
Not only that, the smartphone is also equipped with a digital camera capable of recording a 3D video. Bespectacled or not, the 3D display is to be used in more consumer electronic devices, other than television. Research firm DisplaySearch Ltd. estimates, the sales volume of global 3D display panel to reach a total 0.7 million units and generated revenue of USD902 million in 2008.
Since there are more and more electronic devices that use 3D display panel, DisplaySearch estimates, sales volume of global 3D display panels will reach 196 million units and generated revenue of USD22 billion in 2018. From DisplaySearch data, known globally 3D display panel revenues grow an average of 38 percent per year. Meanwhile, sales volumes of global 3D display panels to grow an average of 75 percent per year.
Because incomes grew slower than sales volume, it certainly decreases the average selling price on the 3D display panel. DisplaySearch adds, at this time active producer campaign 3D displays not only the television producers, but also producers of computers, smartphones, digital cameras, camcorders, and even digital photo frames. More specifically, DisplaySearch reveals, the sales volume of global 3D computer monitors in 2009 only reached about 40,000 units. DisplaySearch estimates that figure will soar to 10 million units in 2018.
DisplaySearch adds, in 2009 a new 3D computer monitor has a market share of 0.02 percent in the global computer monitor. Because the sales volume continues to climb, DisplaySearch believes, 3D computer monitors will dominate the global share of 3.6 percent in 2018. Not only desktop computers, DisplaySearch asserted, portable computers will also be more and more use of 3D display panel. DisplaySearch found that global sales volume of a portable computer that has a new 3D display panel to reach 66 000 units in 2009, with a market share of 0.04 percent in the global portable computer.
DisplaySearch predicts, global sales volume of a portable computer that has a 3D display panel will soar to 17.7 million units in 2018, so that portable computers were paneled 3D displays will dominate the market share of 3.2 percent in the global portable computer.
In the smartphone market, Display-Search noted, at present there is no manufacturer that offers a 3D smartphone. But trust DisplaySearch, global sales of smartphones paneled volume 3D display will swell to 71 million units in 2018, so at that moment the smartphone into an electronic instrument most widely used 3D display panel.
