Big time Japanese electronics manufacturer NEC has created
a subsidiary company, which goes under the name of NEC
Display Solutions. They are mostly concerned with the production of monitors
suitable for use with computers.
They also create those massive TV screens seen in Times Square or at sports stadiums; they are also heavily
involved in various kinds of research and development into new ways of
displaying images.
Their latest creation is an extremely clever small TV
screen that is capable of showing a truly 3-D image. The new small screen works
very ingeniously by projecting two images at once. Our eyes see the two images
separately, so you would think that the picture would be distorted looking like
different colored shadow images.
But those clever people at NEC realized that the brain does
not work that way, and instead what the brain does is compensate for the
picture obviously being incorrect and joins the two images together to produce
one sharp clear image.
However, because the two images are separate, the effect
that we see is pure 3-D; this is a high-tech version of the old-fashioned 3-D
specs that had two different colored pieces of plastic, one for each eye.
Just as of many countries around the world are
switching to digital television transmissions this new device may mean that in
a few years 3-D will be the only way to watch High School Musical 9.
