Electronics manufacturer Samsung has announced it has started mass production of 3D televisions, with the sets expected to be on sale later this year.
The company announced the 3D televisions at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The mass production phase indicates the company hopes they will be able to sell hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of the devices very quickly.
“Recently, 3D displays have captured the industry spotlight,” Wonkie Chang, president of the LCD Business at Samsung Electronics, said in a statement. “Samsung Electronics aims to lead the global 3D TV panel market in pioneering panel mass production for 3D LED and LCD TVs.”
Popularity for 3D content has grown after a number of films have been released to theatres in 3D, however some critics suggest home theatre systems are not an ideal setting for the technology.
