Sharp has developed a new kind of liquid crystal display that allows 3D viewing without the need for special glasses.

The technology works by controlling the path of light so that slightly different images reach the left and right eyes.

Each eye sees only the image intended for it and the brain combines the images and perceives them as a 3D representation.

The technology is also electrically switchable, so users will be able to use the screens for different functions.

For example the technology could herald computer screens that allow users to switch between different modes for word processing and playing games.

Sharp is seeking alliances with other manufacturers to promote the technology.

Doubt it. I've seen several demo's of the technology and it's gimmicky at best.
