Dialog releases the first 2D-to-3D video conversion hardware
Dialog Semiconductors releases the first 2D-to-3D video conversion IC for mobile phones or tablet PCs, the DA8223. The IC also integrates a display driver that supports parallax-barrier (glasses-free) 3D screens for both OLED and LCD based displays. The DA8223 supports both 3D images and video (up to 60fps), and can control displays from 3.8" to 10" in size.
The IC analyzes each 2D video frame and creates a layered depth map, isolating foreground and background objects. From this, each original image pixel is mapped into left and right eye pixels that, when viewed through a parallax barrier filter on the display module, renders the 3D image directly.
The DA8223 will be available in samples in early 2011, and mass production will be begin in the second half of 2011.
