WORLD FIRST: US manufacturer NewSight Corp has developed a 3D display using LEDs as pixels.

With a 180-inch screen (3.84m wide), the NewSight “3D LED Video Wall” is one of the world’s largest 3D displays. NewSight says that it’s possible to combine four displays and make a single 360-inch 3D display. 

The NewSight LED display shows a 3D image using the parallax barrier method (like NewSight’s LCD 3D displays). Apparently because most of the techniques, like arraying the slits of parallax barriers at an angle, used on the new display are the same used in the 3D LCD displays, it is possible to reuse 3D content made for the 3D LCD displays on the new 3D LED screens.

The LEDs are made in China (hardly surprising). When set at a pitch of 6mm, they operate like the pixels of an LCD panel. New Sight says the display is best viewed from about 5m away, but the optimal distance can be adjusted. The warranty on the LED’s is 20,000 hours. NewSight says that it’s possible to use LEDs manufactured by other makers.
