PureDepth, based in Redwood Shores CA, has developed what they call Multi-layer Display (MLD) technology. Essentially, the idea is to build displays that are in fact two or more layers of LCD panel that share a common back-light source – as data is displayed on the various layers, a depth effect is created. Optical correlation, compatibility and interferences between display layers are managed via patented interstitial elements within the optical stack of a MLD. Each display panel receives independent control signals and, through the coordination of the images, a true multi-layer visual display is presented to the user. The content of the images, combined with smart coordination can provide remarkable and eye-catching results for static images and even more so with full in-motion video sequences.
The technology lends itself to a broad array of applications. PureDepth is currently actively developing several of these: the company has signed agreements with Samsung for development of displays and mobile handsets, and is also collaborating with SANYO on mobile handsets, gaming technology, and automobile electronics (including in-car navigation). In fact, Samsung recently featured PureDepth’s display technology at CeBIT, the world’s largest technology trade show. The public-information configuration, placed adjacent to Samsung’s groundbreaking 80-inch flat panel display, received significant traffic and rave reviews.
The company expects to see first products – in gaming – hit the streets during 2008, with more products and applications to follow shortly thereafter.

Hi,
And how many layers there will be ?
This reminds me of the works by Xia Xiaowan.
I would think that holographic TV may have a better future.
They are niche product and company. They will only be in the slot and pachingko market at best.
Even with Samsung, they will never launch commercial product.
forget this product. first they ripped off sammy of Japan for large amount. after they changed their name, they will rip off more companies for a low tech application like mld.
stay away for this company,they will be out of business soon.
