Samsung develops first 3D active matrix OLED
At the San Francisco Society for Information Display (SID) show, Samsung showed a 3D active matrix (AM) OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display, which it claims is the world's first. Samsung claims the 4.3 inch prototype provides the world's highest resolution, WQVGA(480×272), in terms of 3D images. The new product displays 3D images around 1000 times faster than TFT LCD's. Samsung SDI emphasized that by adopting a new technology called Time Division Parallax Barrier Method, the 4.3-inch prototype can realize the same level of resolution even when users convert 2D images into 3D, while existing LCD-based 3D displays decrease the resolution by half during the conversion.
Samsung will perfect the technology by end of 2007 and is stepping up the development of the technology for use with notebooks and TVs. According to iSuppli, the global demand for 3D display panels is expected to increase from 4.9 million units in 2007 to 8.1 million units in 2010.
