Quad Full HD display delivers striking 3D images.
Toshiba used the IFA trade fair in Berlin to demo its new 55-inch ZL2, featuring its very latest in imaging technology. The ZL2 removes the need for 3D glasses for viewers, who can experience the effect from 9 different positions in front of the TV.
Other features of the ZL2 include face tracking, Resolution+, Auto Calibration, 2D to 3D conversion, and Smart TV features including Toshiba Places. The ZL2 is the world’s first TV targeted at consumers to include a Quad Full HD display, offering up to 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution. This enables the ZL2 to offer a 3D viewing experience that can be enjoyed by multiple viewers and can display 2D content in four times (Quad) Full HD resolution.
The glasses-free 3D technology is based on the stereoscopic principle of simultaneously delivering a picture for the left eye, and another one with a small offset (parallax), for the right eye to achieve the 3D effect. To deliver a glasses-free 3D image and experience, a range of lenticular lenslets guide the dedicated images to each viewer.
