Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative Receives Support From Four Global TV Manufacturers

Panasonic Corporation, Samsung Electronics, Sony Corporation and X6D Limited (XPAND 3D) today announced that Royal Philips Electronics, Sharp Corporation, TCL Corporation and Toshiba Corporation have expressed support for the activities of the “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative”.

The standardization will also include several types of infrared (IR) system protocols between 3D active shutter glasses and 3D displays, ranging from the protocols jointly developed by Panasonic and XPAND 3D* to the proprietary protocols of Samsung and Sony. Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and XPAND first announced their intent to work together on the development and licensing of Bluetooth® enabled radio frequency (RF) system 3D active shutter glasses technology, including RF system protocols between consumer 3D active shutter glasses and 3D displays such as televisions, personal computers and projectors, as well as 3D theaters with XPAND active shutter glasses.

The license program for the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative is targeted to commence. 3D synchronization emitters, 3D active shutter glasses or Bluetooth chip devices for such products can receive a license to begin developing and manufacturing products employing the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative technology.

Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative will allow the usage of a distinct logo, which will provide consumers an easy way to recognize interoperability among 3D active shutter products, such as 3D TVs and 3D glasses that each bears the logo.
