Philips and Dimenco to bring up a 3D television without the boundaries of glass
The latest trend of increasing number of three dimensional movies has most definitely enthralled the youth. But there is another business that has propagated underneath the lime light and that is of the 3D glasses- remember the black bulky glasses that you need to wear when going for a three dimensional movie. The glasses have never been a movie watcher’s favorite and that is something that most of the big electronics companies in the world know about.
Philips, the world leader in electronics (Philips is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. In 2009, its sales were €23.18 billion. The company was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips, a maternal cousin of Karl Marx, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Its first products were light bulbs and other electro-technical equipment. Philips started operations in India at Kolkata (Calcutta) in 1930 under the name Philips Electrical Co. (India) Pvt. Ltd, comprising a staff of 75. It was a sales outlet for Philips lamps imported from overseas. In 1938, Philips India set up its first Indian lamp-manufacturing factory in Kolkata. After the Second World War in 1948, Philips started manufacturing radios in Kolkata. In 1959, a second radio factory is established near Pune. In 1957, the company is converted into a public limited company, renamed “Philips India Ltd”) as always has again put forward another wonderful technology advancement- this is a three dimensional television which does not have a glass screen. How ‘bout that?
The project is being planned in association Dimenco another leader in development in the fields of 3D TV. But the catch for our movie lovers is that they will have to do with those bulky glasses for another 2 years because of the extremely slow development in this field, the project is expected to release in the late 2013 but nevertheless it is under progress. So far initial impressions of the 3D TV that does not require glasses were average at best, and it has yet to offer the “in your face” feeling as with regular 3D TVs that need a pair of glasses to go along with it. On the other hand, the lenticular lens technology utilized within is certainly a whole lot better for non-stationary viewing. Philips Dimenco 3D TV, probably won’t be cheap when unleashed to the mass market, that’s for sure.
The concept is definitely enthralling for the younger generation and the mere thought of watching three-dimensional movie on a screen that is not bounded by any glass boundary completely fills me with a sense of excitement. Philips has to be credited for thinking of something so unique and exciting we do think that touching what you see on television will be possible once the TV is launched but the exact details about that are yet scarce and we do promise to keep you updated with any new news in this field. Till then, do not forget to let us know your viewpoints about Philips Dimenco 3D TV in the comments section below.
