The physorg article doesn't mention OLED (and explicitly says LCD). Presumably not, then, an OLED - or is it an OLED display with a lenticular LCD grid over it? The physorg article, too, seems confused. Interesting bit of kit, although any autostereoscopic display on a hand-held device is going to be a little awkward because of the amount of potential movement between the device and the head.

How the dickens can this work? You need SOME way of seperating what the 2 eyes percieve. Unless they use that funky technology they had on those toys you got in cereal boxes that showed different images depending on what angle your looking at, they will need to make the user wear some kind of polarising lenses if they want a 3D image surely??

Got this flame from anonymous reader ... "Please don't call 3d shutter glasses "stupid". We have an entire community with thousands of members who use these "stupid" glasses for playing all our games in real 3D and we have many members join daily when they find out what these "stupid" glasses are capable of. The visuals with these "stupid" glasses is far superior than gaming without on even very large monitors. Calling them "stupid" feeds the notion that they are socially unacceptable and should be ridiculed. This only hinders Stereo3D development. We all know that 3D visual displays are the future." Oh and about that OLED thing. It was mentioned in a CNET news item by erica ogg.

I do indeed get the impression that the term OLED gets misused more and more, perhaps they refer to OLED backlighting in some of these cases? But there also seem to be different classes of OLED displays, some don't even have 24bit color it seems, and poor brightness, no idea why. No idea about this thing though, just reporting my impressions about OLED confusion.
