In 2010, Panasonic is set to launch a line of 3D products for consumers in the US, Europe and Japan. Panasonic’s 50-inch Full HD 3D PDP and High-Precision Active Shutter Glasses will be shown off at CEATEC Japan 2009. Panasonic is betting that the 50-inch size with be just about right for most people looking to move up to the 3D experience.
The new prototype 50-inch Panasonic features Full HD at 1080p x 2. In other words, each eye is getting a full resolution frame of the movie, which is how most theatrical releases get the polished 3D effect that has previously just not translated that well to the living room. The new active shutter glasses are also a big deal in reducing crosstalk that often degrades image resolution in 3D displays.
