Sharp Corp, Japan's largest maker of liquid crystal displays, said on Friday its researchers in Britain had developed a flat-panel display for either two- or three-dimensional viewing that does not require special glasses. The company added it aimed to set up a consortium including major high-tech firms such as Sony Corp and Microsoft Corp to promote the new technology.
"In the same way that black-and-white TVs switched to color, we really think displays are going to switch to 3-D," Stephen Bold, managing director of Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd, said after a news conference.
