Sharp has released a new ‘two way’ LCD that can display different images based on the direction you are looking at it. In other words, you can watch two shows on the same screen!
The "two-way viewing-angle LCD," announced by the Japanese consumer electronics maker Thursday, can send light from the backlight separately to the right and left.
And so one person can be surfing the Internet, using the display as a PC screen, while another watches a downloaded movie or TV broadcast. It also works for watching two TV channels: one person can watch baseball while another watches a soap opera.
The display, which costs roughly double the standard kind, will go into mass production this month. Sharp will offer the product for worldwide sale, but the Osaka-based firm will also supply other manufacturers with the new displays for various products expected later this year, said spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama. She declined to disclose specifics.
