3D TV

Published December 23, 2010

TOKYO, Dec 22: Toshiba on Wednesday launched in Japan what it calls the world’s first television that allows viewers to see 3D images without having to wear special glasses, amid intensifying competition in the market.

But while curious shoppers stopped to test out the screen at an electronics store in central Tokyo as the 12-inch model of the Regza GL1 Series went on sale, there were doubts as to whether the technology will catch.

The new model with a liquid crystal display carries a price tag of 119,800 yen, which may put off consumers accustomed to falling prices.

A 20-inch model will be released on Saturday.—AFP
