Super Hi-Vision System • Super Hi-Vision has extremely high spatial resolution, 33 million pixels per frame, and it can provide viewers with stunning images. Various parameters other than spatial resolution is under investigation now. • The wide visual angle of 100 degrees provides viewers with an immersive feeling. • The purpose of Super Hi-Vision to home is to provide a totally new viewing experience to enjoy wide and extremely high resolution images from any viewing distance. 7680 4320 Viewing distance : 0.75 x Picture height Viewing angle : 100 degrees

3D TV based on Spatial Imaging -Integral Method- • Business interests in Stereoscopic 3D television system are increasing in various industries worldwide. However, discrepancy between the convergence point and the focal point causes visual fatigue. • Spatial imaging system does not cause visual fatigue nor requires special glasses, because an object is reconstructed as a spatial image (light field).
