3D Enabled Tv Systems Thanks To Dlp Technology

Back in 2007 Texas Instruments introduced to the industry the very first 3D capable solutions. They had successfully utilized the most recent advances made in 3d shutter glasses along with the speed gained from DMD (digital micro mirror device) technology which enabled an enhanced stereoscopic imaging needed for right / left viewing. The combination of the two then allows users to view high def 3D images on a DLP (digital light projection) television set.

At the root of this is the smooth picture algorithm. 3D technology uses the subframes of smooth picture technology to generate and send an independent image, by means of a signal, to the left and right eye of the viewer. The lcd shutter glasses then process that signal so the correct view is transmitted to the correct eye which gives the viewer a true 3 dimensional depth to the image. So in essence all you need to obtain that cinema quality 3D experience are a 3D enabled DLP TV, a pair of LCD shutter (3d) glasses along with a sync signal transmitter and of course a source of 3d content that uses the DLP 3D video or graphic format.

The main advantage of using this technology is that DLP 3D delivers a higher frame rate of 60Hz to each eye. Unlike other frame sequential systems the resulting  stereographic display is flicker free. Current DLP HDTVs from the likes of Samsung, Mitsubishi and Panasonic benefit because this 3D HDTV technology incures very little costs to implement and gives the purchaser a decent level of future proofing. Unlike older 3D glasses, those pretty naff red and blue numbers we all remember, the new generation suited to use with DLP 3D enabled TV systems have power shutters that deliver unpresidented colour fidelity and exceptional depth of picture.
