Introduction

The 3D display technology

This product utilizes the “Parallax Barrier” 3D technology. A parallax barrier is a device that allows a liquid crystal display (LCD) to show a stereoscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear a pair of 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, a parallax barrier consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, thus creating a sense of depth and 3D effect through parallax.
Parallax Barrier
Pixels

Viewing 3D images

To view 3D display and receive 3D effects well, the viewer should be positioned to face the center of the screen at around 60 ~ 80 cm of distance and not having a steep viewing angle.
Extra notice regarding 3D viewing:
1. Viewing in 3D mode may cause dizziness or even perceptive after effects, disorientation, and eye strain. It is recommended that viewers take frequent breaks to alleviate the likelihood of these effects. If you have any of the above symptoms, immediately cease usage of the 3D display of this device and do not resume until the symptoms have receded.
2. Young children viewing 3D files should always be accompanied by adults. It is not recommended to give this device into the hands of young children.
