INTRODUCTION TO 3D TV

Nowadays, television technology had brought us to a new level of image displays by television. Television, like most technology, has evolved since its debut. First, there was the switch from , black and white to color TV. Then manufacturers began to offer televisions in larger formats . using various projection methods. Over the past years, we've seen LCD and plasma technologies advance to the point where you can go out and buy television that's only a few centimeters thick and high-definition television ( definition (HDTV) provides us with a picture that's so t vibrant and sharp it's almost as if we weren't looking at a collection of pixels. Now, technology brings us to 3-dimensional television (3D TV). Actually what is 3D TV and what is the difference dimensional between regular TV and with this kind of television. A 3D television (3DTV) is a television set ) that employs techniques of 3D presentation, such as stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture, multi or 2D-plus-depth, and a 3D display a special viewing device to project a television program televisio into a realistic three-dimensional field. dimensional

History of 3D TV

3d TV started its history when William Friese Friese-Greene, British film pioneer filed a patent or 3D , movies process. When viewed stereoscopically, it showed that the two images are combined by the brain to produce 3-D depth perception. On June 10, 1915, Edwin S. Porter and William E. D Waddell conduct a test in red-green anaglyph to an audience that was presented three reels of green test. Later on, the stereoscope was improved by Louis Jules Duboscq, and a famous picture of Queen Victoria was displayed at The Great Exhibition in 1851. The first anaglyph (use of redand-blue glasses), invented by L.D. DuHauron movie was produced in 1915 and in 1922 the first blue public 3D movie was displayed. Stereoscopic 3D television was demonstrated for the first time on August 10, 1928, by John Logie Baird in his company's premises at 133 Long Acre, London. London He managed to pioneer variety of 3D system television system using electro electro-mechanical and cathode-ray tube technique.

Technology inside 3D TV

Technology inside 3d TV is so amazing and complicated. Its consisted of several techniques to produce and displays 3D moving pictures. Technology inside 3D TV and 3D in theater is not the same because movie theater use multiple projectors to produce the extra layers, and that's impossible with a television. In order to overcome this problem, we need the latest glasses innovation which is LCD shutter glasses which work on a system known as 'active technology'. These active shutter glasses work by alternately blocking the vision in each eye in conjunction with the refresh rate of the display screen. 3D TVs that use this form will display alternate images with slightly differing perspectives at a high rate, and the glasses darken each lens in time with the alternating images, causing the brain to do the classic image mash-up.

Shutter glasses simply take the idea to the next logical step by literally blacking out the lenses at a high rate of speed. Subsequently, shutter glasses are able to offer a much clearer threedimensional picture than older methods. There a small number of 3D televisions on the market that show off they produce 3D images without need for clunky glasses. This is possible through the use of either a parallax barrier or a lenticular lens on the surface of the display, giving us true 3D TV without glasses. The parallax barrier works a lot like polarized glasses. A latticework of angled holes across the screen's surface directs different light into each eye, causing images to apparently jump right off the screen. With a parallax barrier in place the 3D effect can't be turned off in most cases, and the viewing angle is incredibly limited. Viewers must look straight at the screen to see the 3D.Using two LCD layers in a single television can conquer this problem. The first layer is the traditional LCD, allowing the use of glasses for 3D content. The second layer contains the parallax barrier, which can be turned off, to create the glasses-free effect whenever it's desired.

Of course, there's also a difference in how the 3DTVs work as well, with each of the manufacturers developing their own particular type of 3D TV technology. In particular, the display types need consideration. There are Plasma 3D TV models, LCD 3D TV models, and LED 3D TV models all using different displays. Some TVs don't just offer 3D imaging using specially filmed 3D content, but employ 2D to 3D conversion technology to convert native 2D content.

Now that the 3D wave is in full swing, this is bound to be only the beginning of viewing innovation. Several companies are working already on holographic TV bringing 3D images right out of the screen and projecting them into the air. Now, isn't that a mouthwatering thought?
