The World's Largest 3D LCD Display Hits 65-Inches, From VMJ And Sharp

VMJ, Inc., a Japan-based company only launched in February will be mass producing a 65-inch 3D LCD display for commercial applications. This one won't require any pesky glasses to see the 3-dimensional picture, which is kind of a must given that the display will be located in public places. Ever been in an airport full of people wearing 3D glasses?

The 3D image is produced using Parallax barrier technology, developed by Sharp, that easily enables the picture to switch from 2D to 3D and back. When in 3D mode, the picture is filtered through the Parallax barrier sending to unique images to your right eye and left eye. These differing images give the picture its 3D effect, sans funny looking glasses. What about specs? 65-inch LCD widescreen, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 6ms response time, and DVI-D Digital / Analog RGB input signals.

Exactly how much the VMJ 3D display will cost we don't know. We do know it's the world's largest 3D display so far, and even more impressive is the fact that VMJ is producing other 3D screen sizes as well. Aside from the 65-incher, other screen sizes run all the way from 8.4-inches to 40-inches.
