A 3D television that employs techniques of 3D presentation such as stereoscopic display, multi-view playback, or 3D display are special viewing devices to project a motion image into a realistic three-dimensional field. Every other day 3D movies became popular. In the late 1990s when several show On TV used anaglyph technique to attract viewers and increase ratings.

For the last five years, 3DTV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode with special shutter glasses to create a stereoscopic image is the new trend. These new TV sets usually support HDMI and a minimum refresh rate of 100Hz and great contrast levels.

• Auto stereoscopic displays (without glasses/headgear)
