This feature makes it possible to provide information and content tailored to specific users depending on the angle at which they view the screen. Controlling the viewing angle in this way allows the information or visual content to be tailored to multiple users viewing the same screen. For instance, in an in-car application, the driver's side could display a map while the passenger's side shows a DVD movie. Volume production of the LCD will begin in July 2005, marking the introduction of the world's first practical application of this technology.</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial size=2>[Read More]</FONT></P>

that may be the coolest thing I've ever seen, and that car application example is a great idea, then we wouldnt have to worry about Drivers trying to watch a movie and drive at the same time.

I almost didn't post it until they mentioned the car implementation. That really makes a lot of sense.

Think of the gaming applications! Head to head split screen gaming without splitting the screen. Everyone gets a full screen view.

This really is very spiffy.

I didn't even think of that... They haven't even touched upon the possible uses yet.

Perfect for his and hers viewing in the master bedroom, add some wireless headphones and your good to go. Or in the Master bath behind the mirror so she can check the morning news and he can watch the stock market.
