Toshiba prototype display does 2D and 3D at the same time

One of Toshiba’s favorite hobbies is to tease the general public with prototype autostereoscopic technology, and that’s exactly what we have here today; demoed at SID 2010, this screen can display 2D and 3D images simultaneously on the same 12-inch screen, no glasses required. How it does that is rather complicated, especially when translated from the Japanese, but it sounds like Toshiba’s sandwiched a special panel with gradient-index lenses between a high-speed polarizer and the typical color LCD. We’d wager good money it’s not coming to a store near you, but we’ll keep an eye out for future developments. These days, they have a tendency to pop right out of the screen.
