Could Sharp Make the Screen for the 3DS?

Japanese electronics manufacturer, Sharp, is pushing their newest mobile display technology into production this June. The technology itself is centered on 3D displays without the use of glasses.

Sound familiar?

Looks cool. Good to see depth of perception is the new benchmark for 3D instead of cheap thrills.

You know what pisses me off, they haven't even released a Golden Sun on DS since it launched, and now they are launching another handheld.

ya know i never knew sharp was a japanese company

But the question is would sharp want the MILLIONS of dollar from the sale of MILLIONS of 3DS? Wait that's a silly question.

3DS is looking like it'll be a world wide success just from the fact it's a new DS.

Am i the only being that knows that those "no glasses" 3d screens are very hard on the eyes/brain and causes headaches?

mrv3215869d ago

'Bu...bu... Glasses are the devil... I will never wear glasses etc.'

I dislike the glasses are stupid argument. Especially when considering that these are the same people with Headset in their ear screaming at their friends to take point B after eliminating the camper. That's stupid, wearing glasses is not stupid.

he didn't outright called the glasses stupid. He was complaining how it can be uneasy on the eyes and cause migraines by 3d screens.

Now regarding the glasses, I've got sensitive eyes so as much as I have no problem wearing these 3d glasses (not even caring what people think), I would complain the very same thing. But I agree with ya on the 3d glasses haters, there are a lot of em that are hypocrites.

Considering Sharp have provided screens for Nintendo handhelds for a very long time and the timeframe of the announcement, as well the exact specifications I'd say it's almost a foregone conclusion.

Nintendo may have been part of the development of the screen from the beginning.

I'm rather more interested in the holographic storage card that was patented by Nintendo(and affiliates). Apparently it's usable in normal media card slots and a DS card sized one can hold about 60gbs according to estimates!

I completely forgot about that holographic patent... think that applies to this system?

It has GOT to be Sharp, you're absolutely right. I'm more so glad that the hands-on from Akihabara showed a little love. Ghosting can be a pain, but the fact that it's bright and sharp means a lot.

Here's the patent. http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/e...

INPHASE made the 60gb estimate.

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
