The world's first LCD TV "Glassless 3D Regga (REGZA) GL 1 Series" that enables users to watch 3D images without special glasses

Toshiba is the world's first LCD TV that can watch 3D images without special glasses "Glassless 3D REGZA (REGZA) GL 1 series"We announced that we will commercialize two models of personal size 20V type" 20GL1 "and 12V type" 12GL1 "from the end of December.

Details such as specs are from the following.
Toshiba: News Releases (2010-10-04): World's First Release of "Glassless 3D Regga (REGZA) GL 1 Series" LCD TV Watch 3D Video Without Dedicated Glasses

"20GL1" is 20V type and prices are open, scheduled to be released late December. Approximately 4 times the total HD video image adopts a liquid crystal panel with a total number of pixels of about 8,290,000 pixels. Newly developed "Glassless 3D exclusive LED panel" that supports 9 parallax image rendering and displays images of 1280 × 720 pixels, which displays nine images made in real time from 1 frame image simultaneously. The backlight has 1440 LEDs directly below the liquid crystal, realizing a bright 3D image.


"12 GL 1" is 12 V type and prices are open, scheduled to be released late December. The total number of pixels of the 3D-dedicated RGB array is about 1.47 million pixels and it supports 9-parallax image rendering, and it is equipped with an LED liquid crystal panel that made it possible to display images of 466 × 350 pixels.


The new product adopts integral imaging (light ray reproduction) method for viewing 3D viewing which is natural and natural. This system simultaneously displays a plurality of images with different positions and angles according to the viewing position, and the viewer sees different images with the left and right eyes, so that the viewer recognizes it as a stereoscopic image even without exclusive eyeglasses I can do it.

Based on this principle, Toshiba has realized high quality 3D images by generating nine images (nine parallax images) in real time and projecting them from the liquid crystal panel through the vertical lenticular sheet using original image processing technology.

"20GL1" is a newly developed "Grassless 3D exclusive CELL Regga engine" equipped with a newly developed "Glassless 3D exclusive LED panel" with about 4 times the number of pixels of full HD video and "Cell Broadband Engine" high performance processor "The synergistic effect makes it possible to make sharp 3D images.

Toshiba will use personalized glasses in the future to add personal size products that can enjoy 3D images without special glasses like this time, in addition to the large size products that can experience 3D images with greater sense of depth and depth By upgrading, we will respond to various user needs and aim to further increase market share by introducing new products that offer new value and enjoyment by making full use of semiconductor technology and image processing technology that we have cultivated over the years I am doing.

In addition, details of each specification are as follows.
