Since the apparition of the iPhone we have changed the way we like to interact with things. Nowadays the gadget has to be touch sensitive. it does make sense in the way that touch and gesture are in human nature since the dawn of time where click buttons obviously isn’t.

And now those touch sensitive screem are getting bigger and better. Touch anable desktops pc screen have started to hit the mainstream market and now with the iPad and other slate and tablet pcs it will start pushing for the domination.

I am not too sure how it could touch the TV market so to speak though, but will leave that to the crazy engineers out there.

A new product from Zeon and targeted at flat panels of all sorts is said improve greatly view angles and contrast compared to standard flat panel we see nowadays.

Those filters should start mass production hopefully around mid 2010 which would make next year the year of the new awesome flat panels.

Improvement in view angles is very welcome and any thing on the contrast ratio side is also beneficial for everyone. Let’s hope it all goes according to plan and that it is not going to add a premium to the already expensive flat panel market.

3D displays are the next big thing and like in HD, there are different way of displaying a 3D image on a television.

The two ways at the moment are sequential and side by side.

The sequential 3D, used on 3D Blue Ray uses a different frame for each eye. Meaning the transmitter sends 24 images per second per eye, so 48 frames per seconds. The glasses take care of the rest and ensure each eye see only one of the two frame at the same time.

The side by side is a bit different as it sends the two images on the same frame and the TV split and stretch them to form two frames. The quality is not as good as the sequential 3D but the bandwidth used is much much less.
