ColorLink Introduces ColorComb(TM) Eyewear.BOULDER, Colo. -- ColorLink introduces ColorComb(TM) eyewear to enable new advanced multi-functional LCD displays. A number of LCD display manufacturers have recently announced development of LCD monitors A flat panel display that uses liquid crystals. Although laptops have used LCDs as their flat panel technology almost exclusively, LCD is also the most popular for flat panel desktop monitors. Toward the end of 2003, sales of LCD displays for desktops overtook CRTs for the first time. using LEDs of six different colors as a backlight back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights . ColorComb eyewear leverages these recent developments to enable 3D viewing. Using the theory of spectral-division stereo display, ColorComb glasses will allow viewers a more realistic experience by allowing for 3D viewing. Until now, even though most games written in OpenGL or DirectX could be viewed in 3D, the equipment to do so was prohibitively pro·hib·i·tive also pro·hib·i·to·ry adj. 1. Prohibiting; forbidding: took prohibitive measures. 2. expensive. Now by simply using an inexpensive pair of ColorComb glasses with these next-generation LCD displays, the thrill of 3D viewing is possible. Seeking to have privacy when using your laptop on a plane, ColorComb eyewear allows only you to see the display. It appears gray to the person seated next to you. In addition, ColorComb glasses with specially enabled LCD TVs A flat panel TV that uses LCD technology or a rear-projection TV that is based on LCD microdisplay panels.

Bannon, stated, "We hope by providing a source of inexpensive spectral-division eyewear, LCD display-makers will begin to leverage advancements in multi-primary LED-based LCD displays to add functionality to these next-generation products. With almost no additional cost, users could be able to view stunning 3D. Simultaneous viewing of two different TV shows by two different viewers could eliminate the need for fighting over the remote." ColorLink is currently developing this idea with a number of CE companies and believes that such products could be enabled in the very near future. About ColorLink, Inc.
