At CEATEC Japan 08, KDDI showed off OLED and LCD panels capable of showing 3D images on a main display of a mobile phone. KDDI claim that these new panels allow a user to experience video content such as games and movies “with a greater realism.”

“The 3D LCD panel has 800 x 480 resolution VGA and employs the “parallax barrier method” to enable 3D representation this method, strip-shaped barriers are arranged on the surface of the LCD panel so that the image is divided into parts that are viewed with the right eye and parts viewed with the left eye.”
