Sony will introduce a 3D television set in 2010.

"The 3D train is on the track and we at Sony are ready to drive it home", said Sony Chief Howard Stringer.

Sony said it plans 3D Bravia LCD TVs, Blu-ray Disc products, the Sony VAIO PC line and the PlayStation 3.

Most 3D home displays have been oriented around the DLP rear-projection technology from Samsung and Mitsubishi, using technology manufactured by Texas Instruments.

Panasonic has also offered 3D technology, using 'HD frame sequential', incorporating two image views in frame sequence managed by active shutters.

Sony explained it would use active-glasses technology.

The Blu-ray Disc Association also announced that it has begun setting up a 3D task force for a 3D HD standard on Blu-ray.


The 1080/24 x2 format would project 24-frames of offset pixel data, one for each eye.

According to the BDA, 3D discs will also include a 2D version of the film that can be viewed on existing 2D players and 3D players will enable consumers to playback their existing libraries of 2D content...
