FOR THE ULTIMATE IN CONSUMER MARKETING - THE ‘REAL SCREEN SERIES’ OF DISPLAYS
An introduction to 3D Technology
Background
There are two types of the 3D technology - Parallax Barrier and Lenticular, both of these technologies involves a glass lens lying on top of a normal LCD TFT panel.
Parallax Barrier The theory behind the parallax barrier technology is that it is a flat lens with the main purpose of blocking light coming from the TFT panel. The blocking of light causes the left eye and right eye to perceive different images which causes a trickery of a person’s vision hence the person’s brain perceives the object in 3D.
Lenticular The basis theory behind the lenticular technology is that it is a curved lens. The curvature is very finite (naked to the eye). This curvature bends light coming from the TFT panel. The bending of this light is very precise and also causes the left and right eye to perceive different images.
The pros/cons of both:
Parallax
Lenticular
Advantages
* Production yield of the glass is currently better thus 3D display products have a cheaper cost
* The 3D glass has a easier ability to be transparent to the eye, thus allowing easier design of 2D/3D switchable displays
* Much bright than parallax barrier glass
* Better 3D effect overall in terms of sharpness
* Easier to control the moire effect (dizziness)
* Ability to have smaller transitions in 3D mode (meaning less segments, when the person is mobile when watching the 3D display you will see the 3D objects shift. This effect is minimized by lenticular, but not parallax)
Disadvantages
* Brightness is greatly diminished by approx. 30% to 50% compared to 2D displays
* 3D effect is diminished in terms of sharpness and moire effect
* Due to theoretical concept it is very difficult to breakthrough in development the brightness deficiency , meaning the technology is matured to its maximum potential already
* Production is more difficult due to the curvature of the lens thus pricing is currently higher than parallax
* 2D / 3D switching is harder to develop.
Current 3D Industry
Most major companies are just starting or developing, but slowly or only in the planning phase of creating 3D displays. Being that the parallax barrier method or direction is much easier in design, most of the companies are moving in that direction. The lenticular type display is very difficult in technology. Only 2 companies are developing lenticular type displays. It takes a large amount of time, resources and know-how to be able to develop lenticular because it is complex in being that there are optics (3D glass) as well as hardware (graphic card compatibility, calculation algorithms, software - drivers, media player and content -specific formats) that are required in order that the 3D display functions as its potential.
Most companies utilizing parallax barrier have had their product for a long time without any real commercial results. Lyns Ltd utilizies the Lenticular method and is currently leads in quality and performance.
Why is Lyns the market leader?
As far as the software goes, LYNS 3D offers a much bigger, wider and higher quality selection of 3D drivers and components for off-the-shelf applications than the other manufacturer offers. In comparison to our competitor, we currently have the most complete list of software that supports different programs built on OpenGL or DirectX. Outside of just normal 3D animation for media usages, there are many software applications in which LYNS 3D can be compatible with to create more unique or robust solutions such as Interactive media solutions, teaching or presentation solutions, and even those for seminars or events making Lyns 3D the most versatile 3D solution on the market. The other manufacturer on the other hand has very limited uses for their displays and mainly can only be used for traditional 3D advertisements without much flexibility for unique and innovative solutions.
Content format is the key difference between LYNS 3D solutions and the other manufacturer. LYNS 3D uses an innovative and unique 9-tile format which allows a complete widest viewing angle and extremely obvious and good 3D effects to ensure the audience gains the “WOW” effect, whereas the other manufacturer uses a 2D+Depth format. The 2D+Depth format although more close to traditional 2D format, it does not provide the “WOW” effect and the 3D effect more often than not is very limited in having objects seemingly coming out of the screen. 2D+Depth as can see from the format name emphasizes more on the depth of the picture rather than the outer effect, and thus many people cannot see a clear differentiation between the other manufacturer’s 3D effect and a very good 2D High-Definition TV.
In terms of content creation, the LYNS 3D format takes longer rendering periods, however it is very simple to create for a person that is knowledgeable in content creation, but for the other manufacturer’s format there is a large learning curve and requires much manual tuning and customization of the content to make it even moderate 3D effects. Also, with the 2D+Depth format there is a limitation in how far the outer effect can be in the display, whereas LYNS 3D 9-tile format does not have such limitations or restrictions.

Case Studies 3D displays have been proven to be applicable, valuable, and beneficial to a broad range of industries from digital media signage to medical research. Clients use 3D displays for very innovative ideas and always look to be on the forefront of technology and creativity.
Digital Signage The days of traditional advertising through billboards, magazines, and newspapers are long gone. In the new age of communication, advertising has transformed and advertisers are continuing to look for new and innovative ways to deliver their company and product messages with a lasting impression. 3D displays is a key innovating technology that can deliver exactly what advertisers are eagerly searching which is a fresh and exciting technology that will not only capture the audiences attention, but keep the message clear and distinct. Having the messages delivered in shopping malls and stores is an added bonus as it brings home the sales due to being at the point-of-sale. They have been successfully implemented many digital signage solutions world-wide.
Retail Store Advertising LCD displays have recently become a big part of in-store advertising and promotion for the retail industry. Shops selling from boutique goods, jewelry, to even restaurants selling food have begun realizing the importance of advertising to their patrons through dynamic animated images. 3D display solutions enhances the in-store advertising effect even more and keeps potential shoppers interest so that they stay longer which increases the chances of a sale. They have been integrated for in-store decoration for a large amount of retail chain stores in China and South America.
Product Presentation Managers, executives, designers, and sales team have endlessly looked for new and improved ways to execute presentations. We have tested and experienced nothing that can excite and interest an audience more than a 3D display presentation. Customers create presentations of architectural design, mechanical design, advertising concepts, and even fashion shows.
Education and Research Many different educational and research fields use 3D modelling software for analysis and evaluation. Using 3D displays provides these 3D software with an immensely added-value as researchers can better visualize the actual concepts and models they are experimenting with in a closer to real environment. These displays have been used for medical applications such as laser eye surgery scanning, CT-scans, molecular modelling, CAD design analysis and much more.
Simulations There are many different government departments that create large complex simulation machines. Integrating 3D displays to such systems is of great value as the purpose of simulation is to be as real to the physical world as possible. These 3D displays have been used for aircraft simulators, truck driving simulators, and even simulation games.
Events and Shows The main purpose of an event or show is for entertainment. The “WOW” effect and awe that a 3D display creates is what makes it a perfect solution for an event in which you can stun your party. There has been a large amount of customers whom specialize in hosting and creating the most extravagant events. The 3D display has been nothing but phenomenal in the results of placing smiles on people’s faces.
FAQs
(1) How is the ROI (Return on Investment) of the displays if used for our products? - It is always important to emphasize that the 3D displays is a new concept in the advertising/media world, and we should focus on selling client the idea of BRAND IMAGE and building the BRAND VALUE. 3D screens not only bring greater revenue or sales, but it will indeed create BRAND AWARENESS for the client and differentiate it from their competitor which is extremely important.
(2) Can we retrofit existing 2D LCD’s to make them into 3D displays? - No. Our 3D displays involve a very precise and specific manufacturing process between our 3D special (lenticular) glass and a traditional LCD TFT lens. The process also needs to be done in a static “clean room” environment. The 3D glass is also specially designed for the LCD TFT and thus cannot be simply attached onto any existing LCD.
(3) Can we change any video or picture into 3D? - We can make anything into 3D, but it requires content creation. We cannot automatically transfer any 2D image or video to 3D. The way it works is that we need to create the 3D objects by our graphic designers. We can do added value (adding 3D effects to an already existing video) or we can create a new video clip from scratch. We have a large world-wide network of professional content development companies whom can provide content services locally in your territory.
(4) How long will it take to make a video clip into 3D? - It really depends on the project. Every video clip is different and the timing is determined by a number of things. The process will be that our project planners and graphic designers will analyze case by case and determine the time it will take to create. On average we would be able to deliver the first demo of the content within 2 weeks.
(5) What equipment is necessary to make the 3D display work? - The only equipment required is a standard PC and our special 3D media software in which we will provide and setup. We also have 3D displays with embedded PC, and in this case no additional equipment is necessary to make the 3D displays work.
(6) Is there an optimal distance to view the 3D display? - Yes. There is an optimal distance that is changeable. The distance is determined by the content created. As a standard for the 46 inch displays we set it at a distance of about 3~4 meters. For the 24 inch displays we set it at a distance of about 1.5~2 meters. However, this can be changed according to he client’s environment.
(7) Can you still watch regular TV or DVD movies with our 3D displays? - Yes. Normal 2D content such as television programs, DVD movies, etc. can all be played normally on our 3D displays. However, very low resolution text such as those used in Windows will be difficult to read through our 3D glass. Both 2D content and 3D content cannot be displayed, even simultaneously making our 3D displays a fully functional multimedia solution.
(8) What is the furthest an object can come out of the screen? - When we make an object appear to come up to 3 meters from the screen. However, the further the objects pop out from the screen the greater chance it will be unclear to the viewer due to the focus of the eyes being closer. The suggested distance that a image pops-out of the screen is about 1~2 meters depending on the size and shape of the 3D object.
(9) What is the viewing angle of the 3D display? - Generally, for mainstream LCD displays can be viewed up to an angle of 176 degrees, for our 3D displays the viewing angle is up to 120 degrees.
(10) How does the 3D Display system work? - Our 3D displays are a highly precise structure of a normal LCD display with a very special 3D glass that sits on top of the normal TFT LCD. The content to be played in 3D comes in a format of multiple pictures at different views which is interlaced. Our 3D glass then refracts or bends the light coming from the display to create the stunningly visual 3D image.
