3D is making its way into mobile phones and 3M is making sure that handheld device users will not be left behind. 3M unveils a newly developed product called the 3D optical film for handheld devices which helps enable 3D viewing on mobile phones, gaming and other related handheld gadgets without the need for those special 3D glasses. The 3D optical film is integrated into the backlight module and requires only one LCD panel. This in turn will allow the mobile device with the film to run at 120MHZ refresh rate.

This new 3D optical film will be presented at the Korea Electronics Show from October 13 to 16 at the KINTEX center.
