Rumor: Has Sharp Unveiled The 3DS's Screens?
On April 2nd, Sharp held a press conference in Japan to reveal a brand new screen for "sophisticated" mobile devices. The new LCD touchscreen allows images on the screen to switch between 2D and 3D, without the need for special equipment or glasses. Does that sound familiar? It should, at least if you've been following anything about the just announced NIntendo 3DS. Some people are even claiming that this reveal by Sharp is what prompted Nintendo's less than ideal timing for the announcement last week, on the eve of the DSi XL's release in North America
Now for the tech talk. From the announcement:
This 3D LCD significantly improves image quality by achieving both high brightness and low crosstalk thanks to advances in CG-Silicon technology and optimization of the parallax barrier. Advances in CG-Silicon technology have doubled the brightness (to 500 cd/m2, the industry's highest) compared to the conventional model.The resolution is higher than any of the current DS or PSP models, although the screens are a bit smaller than the DSi XL's, so if you were hoping for something of that size, you may have to scale back your expectations. Nintendo has promised details of the upcoming system at this year's E3, so we've still got another three months to wait to see it in action.
