Samsung Electronics says it has started mass production of panels for 3D LED TVs and 3D LCD TVs.
The production of panels for 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch full-HD 3D TVs, using 3D active glasses, started this month.
"Recently, 3D displays have captured the industry spotlight," said Wonkie Chang, president of the LCD business at Samsung Electronics.
The panels use the company’s true 240Hz technology.
“By operating at 240 frames per second, the panels deliver a more lifelike picture with alternating left and right eye images through the use of 3D Active Glasses technology,” said Samsung.

Another feature is the response time of the panels which is less than 4ms. According to Samsung this helps eliminate interference between left and right eye images.
Samsung's 3D Active Glasses technology first blocks the left and then right lens, causing a momentary lag when images are shown to each eye to achieve more lifelike 3D images.
The polarized glass method previously used in 3D glasses produced separate images for the left and right eyes, resulting in half the resolution of two-dimensional pictures as only half of the screen can be viewed through each polarized filter.
Brightness was also lowered because of the polarized filter.
