Light Field Displays




Light field display reproduces the reflected light from an object that corresponds to the actual visible position, thereby realizing natural-looking images without any special 3D glasses. Just by ordinary viewing it is able to express extremely realistic images.
JDI's light field display aims to "make it look like there is a real object there." To achieve this, we have expanded the range in which 3D images can be displayed correctly and improved sense of 3D definition.
3D Viewing Without 3D Glasses
Experience the reality of images on a compact 5.5-inch display, made possible by JDI's unique display design that allows for 3D viewing without 3D glasses. This space-saving design can be placed next to your PC. The display can be utilized for interacting with CG characters, for in-vehicle and medical equipment, or as a digital education and data archive device.

Features of the Development Kit

Universal Interface
With HDMI input, it is recognized as a sub-monitor of a PC, and power is supplied via the included AC adapter.

Kit Capable of Creating 3D Images
We have prepared an SDK (Software Development Kit) that supports image creation for the development kit by loading it into the Unity game engine. This allows our customers to easily create and display 3D images, and effortlessly evaluate the light field display.
