Dialog Semiconductor has come out with the DA8223, claimed to be the world's first real time 2D to 3D video conversion chip for portable devices including smartphones and tablet PCs. The device also integrates a parallax barrier screen driver that lets users view 3D content without the need for glasses.
The IC analyses each 2D video frame and creates a layered depth map, isolating foreground and background objects. From this, each original image pixel is mapped into left and right eye pixels that, when viewed through a parallax barrier filter on the display module, renders the 3D image directly.
Mark Tyndall, VP corporate development and strategy at Dialog Semiconductor, commented: "The demand for a 3D experience on your smartphone is now here, but very little 3D content currently exists.
Using the DA8223 our customers can, without compromising battery life, create a truly unique offering; products with immediate access to unlimited 3D content."
The DA8223 is compatible with the widest range of 3D capable displays. It will also work with any display equipped with a parallax barrier filter including OLED and the latest TFT displays from Sharp. The 5x5mm 81-ball UFBGA chip can be mounted on the PCB, between the application processor and 3D display, or on the display module as a chip-on-flex.
