Huntington Beach, Calif. -- Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp has announced the release of its Sharp LL-151-3D display, a 15-inch monitor that can display 3D images without the need for special glasses. The monitor uses a parallax barrier to separate two distinct displays, which are skewed slightly so that the eye believes it is viewing a true 3D image. The $1,499 display may also be easily switched between 2D and 3D views. Sharp said that the display is targeted at markets including video games, life sciences and design.

Sharp to Release Notebook PC with Glasses-Free 3D Screen

Tokyo -- Japanese electronics firm Sharp has announced that next month it will ship a notebook PC capable of displaying real 3D images without the need of special glasses. Responding to demand from 3D content creators for a device that will showcase their designs, the PC-RD3D will combine dual LCD screens separated by a "parallax barrier" that may be switched on and off so images may be rendered in either 2D or 3D. Sharp has demoed a prototype of the device running the PC game title, "Quake," and sees it also being used in medical and educational environments. The PC-RD3D will be marketed in the U.S. after its release in Japan on Oct. 27.
