Panasonic’s Full HD 3D – What Is It?

Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTVs on February 6, 2010 | one response

Full HD 3D is Panasonic’s latest and greatest technology.  It promises the same exact 3D experience as the movie theater.  Panasonic claims that it is the world’s first HD 3D Technology.

Before we can understand the new technology, we must understand how the brain processes 3D images and how the previous 3d technology works.  The brain creates 3D images by processing two images at the same time.  These images come from each of your eyes.  The brain then takes these images and reconstructs the space.  This allows us to see images with 3 dimensional depth.  These 3d images require twice as much data as a standard 2d image.  In previous 3d systems the number of pixels had to be reduced by half to create left and right eye images.  This reduced image resolution and greatly reduced the picture quality.  Panasonic’s full HD 3D does not have this limitation.  It is able to create 3d images without reducing any image resolution.

Panasonic’s full HD 3D technology is possible due to a combination of their technologies.  Plasma panels have a great moving image response due to plasma’s self illumination characteristics.  The 3D Drive system is capable of 60 frames per second for each eye totalling to 120 frames per second.  This is the same number of frames per second as the movie theaters.  Panasonic’s active shutter glasses are able to disect the 120 frames and distribute the correct frames to each eye.  Lastly, BluRay’s 50GB capacity is able to hold a complete 3D HD movie.

Panasonic has announced 5 Viera Plasma Televisions that will have this technology.  Panasonic’s Viera line is known for having the world’s highest contrast ratio, having clear sharp moving images, and beautiful color reproduction.  The 3D Plasma VT25 Series will have the TC-P50VT20 (50-Inch), TC-P50V25 (50-Inch), TC-P54V24 (54-Inch), TC-P58VT25 (58-Inch), and TC-965V25 (65-Inch).  Each set will come with a pair of their active shutter 3D glasses.

The prices have not yet been released, but they are expected to be released some time this spring.
