IEE, Inc., specializing in the design, test support and fielding of human system interface (HSI) display technologies in a wide range of military/aerospace, industrial and retail applications, has integrated 3M’s revolutionary 3D film, which requires no 3D glasses, into its field-proven, military-qualified handheld 4.8″ control display unit (CDU).
… In addition to the 3D functionality, key design elements are the unit’s small size and LED backlight technology that provides a low power, portable device with a higher resolution than other displays using 3D technology. The new 4.8″ display decreases off-axis image reversals and color distortions, a common concern in the use of 3D technologies, and can easily be switched to 2D with imagery comparable to modern day smart phones. …
The display features a resolution of 800 x 480 x RGB with a typical brightness of 200 cd/m2 in both 2D and 3D modes with an optimum viewing distance of 16″. External dimension are 3.45″ x 5.98″ x 1.22″.
… Technology demonstrations are available now, with units scheduled to ship in second quarter 2012.
