Both the 12 and 20-inch screens have LED backlighting. The 20 GL1 faceplate has 1440 white LEDs and 829 million pixels, about four times more than a typical HD television. Resolution is clearly above what is on the market today, but drops if the screen is used in 3-D.

To generate a 3-D image without requiring the use of glasses, the screen simultaneously displays nine images. Polarizing filters and vertical lenses modify the beam so that each one of the nine images is projected in a specific direction. Once in front of the screen, the viewer can enjoy an image that has a relief effect.

It may seem strange, but this is only one of the first technologies of this kind on the market. The technology will improve with time.

Current prices are close to $2,000 for the 12GL1 model and around $3,000 for the 20-inch model. And as previously stated, both are only available in Japan.

Of course, it will take some time before affordable 40 or 50-inch naked eye 3-D televisions are available.
