Hitachi's new smartphone display offers 4.5 inches of 3D

Hitachi announced a new smartphone display this week that is capable of displaying 3D content without requiring the user to wear 3D glasses. The new display features a large, 4.5-inch size, and has a higher resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels than we have seen from previous 3D displays for smartphones.

Hitachi says the new display has a higher quality image than previous generations thanks to a new lenticular lens array. The new display is based on IPS technology and features 400 cd/m2 brightness in 2D mode or 470 cd/m2 brightness when in 3D mode.

The new screen can be used in portable TVs, cellphones, or handheld gaming devices. No word on when it will be available in devices on the market
