Innovative Technology / KDC 3D Becomes first company in the world to set up a stereoscopic 3D LCD production line Korea's KDC Corporation (www.kdccorp.co.kr) has developed new stereoscopic 3D technology with Master Image Co., Ltd. which is a stereoscopic 3D display specializing company since 2004. KDC is in charge of manufacturing and co-marketing. The new stereoscopic 3D display technology has no need for 3D glasses, unlike the existing technology which requires wearing of 3D glasses. The potential for the application of this technology is huge, considering the fact that the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) has announced plans for every display in IT devices - including telephones, TVs and recording devices - to be changed to stereoscopic 3D display. In 2006, major mobile phone makers are planned to release the stereoscopic display phones. Many contents providers related to broadcasting, movie, game, advertisement, entertainment are expected to appear. KDC has the distinction of becoming the first company in the world to set up a stereoscopic 3D LCD production line.
