How does Planar’s Stereo Display work?
The SD1710 uses two AMLCD (active-matrix liquid crystal display) monitors positioned 110° apart. A half-mirror is setup at the bisecting angle between the two displays. Polarized light emitted from the bottom monitor is transmitted through the half-mirror. Polarized light emitted from the top monitor is flipped upon reflection off the half-mirror. Polarized glasses are used to restrict the left eye to view the bottom monitor and the right eye to view the top.The SD2020 and SD2320W work in a similar way; however, the type of LCD used requires some proprietary optical changes to the monitors and different polarized glasses than the SD1710.
