Many consumers resent wearing glasses to watch 3D content on TV, so Taiwan’s AU Optronics (one of the world’s biggest flat-panel producers) announces a glasses-less, all-angle viewing 3D panels.

AUO will exhibit at FPD International 2010 in Japan a naked eye 3D display solution: the 65" QFHD 4K2K lenticular lens 3D panel. Its proprietary technology resolves uneven brightness that occurs with conventional 3D displays, raising the resolution of a single viewpoint to high definition.

The 3D panel has brightness as high as 500 nits, with eight viewpoints. AUO says its image quality is suitable for commercial use, making the panel "the most eye-catching large-sized 3D public information display currently available."

The march towards bringing 3D without glasses to all displays from phones to large-screen TVs to commercial displays continues....AUO is not the first in the world to try this concept of glasses-less 3D viewing. Philips had the technology in a spin-off its High Tech Research Park ventures but closed it. Toshiba says it will sell glasses-free 3D TVs in Japan by the end of the year but analysts point out these are still relatively small screens and the image blurs if you are not facing head on.

Having acquired 10% of SuperD (a Shenzhen-based developer of ‘naked eye’ 3D technology), AUO claims its panels are the first in the world to have no deadzones: 3D images can be seen from any angle or distance.

AUO will also showcase the world's largest 71 inch HD 3D TV LCD panel in 21:9 Cinema Scope.
