Three-dimensional, the next big thing since the introduction of color displays

Boston, USA-Philips 3D Solutions is introducing its new 42-inch 3D LCD monitor for the professional digital signage market at the SID International Symposium 2005. Philips' new multi-view 3D display provides a richer, more intriguing, more informative, and more entertaining end-user experience, without the need for special viewing glasses. It can be used for high impact in-store messaging for advertising or sales promotion, images, videos, and other forms of media suitable for a large screen.

 

3D display technology enhances the power of digital signage. People today are bombarded by a continuous stream of messages from all sorts of media. In the fierce battle for their attention, a 3D display is likely to attract more viewers than conventional media. 3D digital signage is particularly effective in such media-rich environments as retail stores, shopping malls, airports and railway stations, and indoor events such as conventions.

 

Philips 3D Solutions offer a complete package through 3D displays and display signal
processing;

  • Multi-view 3D display based on a 42-inch high definition LCD screen provided with a lenticular lens array for outstanding 3D optical autostereoscopic behavior givingfull brightness and full contrast.
  • Integrated 3D rendering and advanced display signal processing hardware thatcalculates multiple views in real time and optimizes the content for the lenticulardisplay.
  • Decoder software enabling the playing of 3D content.
  • Media sequencer software suite enables users to create a content playlist to be played back from a PC.
  • Plug-ins for popular 3D animation packages such as 3D Studio Max are available, so that content providers can save their current artwork into a file format that can be used in a straightforward way with the decoder and media sequencer software.

 

Philips expects that the 3D information display solution, comprising a 42-inch multi-view 3D Monitor, Decoder, Media sequencer software, and plug-ins for 3D animation
programs, will become available via selected distribution partners from October 2005
onwards.
