Background •A new category of flat screen LCD and plasma displays are being marketed by major consumer electronics companies that provide stereoscopic 3-D images both with and without the need for the viewer to wear glasses. Stereoscopic 3-D images appear to have natural in and off-screen depth. •DDD's solutions provide an important bridge between conventional two-dimensional (2-D) software applications and content and the new 3-D displays. Normal 2-D pictures, video and computer graphics images are manipulated by DDD's patented software enabling them to be displayed on 3-D displays without requiring the content to be created specially for a 3-D display. DDD's solutions also enable automatic conversion of virtually any media from 2-D to 3-D without any pre-processing of the 2-D image. •DDD licenses these software applications, marketed under the TriDef(R) and DDD MobileTM brand names, to consumer electronics manufacturers for inclusion with the 3-D display products supplied to their end users. DDD also licenses its software directly to end users who already own 3-D displays and through an international sales channel. DDD's customers include: • Samsung's 3-D ready DLP HDTVs launched in September 2007 in the USA. • Samsung's SCH-B710 3D mobile telephone launched in July 2007 in Korea. • Sharp Corporation's range of 3-D notebook PCs launched in October 2003 in Japan and the US.
