LG has announced the mass production of a full-HD 3D screen, which spans 23 inches and features a relatively small bezel. LG says the screen offers picture quality that is almost twice as crisp as the HD 3D displays currently available in the market.

Although full-HD 3D images have been developed for content types such as video games, movies and animations, 3D display products with full-HD resolution have previously been unavailable in the market. The commercial launch of LG Display's full-HD 3D LCD panel is expected to help boost development of high-resolution 3D contents while allowing users to view true-to-life 3D images.

The 3D display market is expected to grow at rapid pace as the industry players are shifting their focus from two-dimensional to three-dimensional technologies. The Korea Communications Commission recently announced plans to start a trial service for the world's first full-HD 3D terrestrial broadcasting from the second half of 2010. A launch of trial services for 3D satellite broadcasts also had been announced earlier in Japan and the UK.
