NewSight 180-inch 3D Video Wall
December 3, 2008
Imagine one-upping Adam Frucci by posing with a 180-inch screen… that displays 3D! NewSight could give you a chance with their new gargantuan 3D video wall. Sadly, it uses LEDs for pixels, making the resolution all Monet-like. Unlike Panasonic’s behemoth, Newsight’s 3D Wall most likely will never make it into a trajillionaire’s AV room. However, you will probably see it in Times Square one day, especially given its ability to combine with three other displays to make a 360-inch monster.
The new LED display realized 3D representation with the parallax barrier method as the company’s LCD 3D displays. Because most of the techniques, such as arraying the slits of parallax barriers at an angle, employed for the new display are the same as used in the LCD displays, it is possible to reuse 3D content made for the LCD displays, NewSight said.

The LEDs are made in China. Arranged at a pitch of 6mm, they work like the pixels of an LCD panel. The display is best watched from about 5m away, but the optimal distance can be adjusted. The warranty period of the LED is 20,000 hours. It is possible to use LEDs manufactured by other makers, NewSight said.
