iPad 3D shown off in Taipei by third party [video]

3D June 14, 2011

At the Display Taiwan 2011 conference taking place this week in Taipei, display manufacturer CPT gave us a glimpse at the iPad 3D many users have been hoping for. Of course this 3D-enabled iPad 2 is a modified unit that will never see production, but it does highlight the fact that even though the iPad 2 is remarkably thin, there’s still room for a 3D display in the ultra-slim aluminum case. While Apple has been rumored on numerous occasions to be testing iPad models with 3D display technology, it is likely that the company would opt for a glasses-free panel as opposed to the panel fitted into this iPad 2 by CPT, which requires 3D glasses. The prototype is interesting nonetheless, and as the presenter mentions, the possibility of 3D will be an added benefit once Apple releases an iPad model with a Retina Display. A video showcasing the 3D-enabled iPad 2 can be seen below.

Thanks, Nicole

      Where were you? Story ran a while ago.

      And it was a nothing to see here story, blown out of proportion like the Blackberry recall.

    All I see is a 3d display in a iPad case… Like Apple would just put one of their prototypes up at a random conference.

    I’ll take a higher res screen over 3d any day.

    The bottom line… Every single quarter from now on will see a drop in iPad market share… Its inevitable… Just went to our local Best Buy and they had a new section dedicated to tablets.  1 space for RIM, 1 space for Touchpad, and 12 Android tablets…

    • Bringit

      Yes – Bestbuy keeps adding shelf space for the massive amount of Android tablets that just sit there.

      The same prophecy was uttered about the iPod, and that sure panned out…

  • JustSaying

    Are you kidding me, glasses to see 3D on a tablet.  I can see showing that off to all my friends, not.  I have to agree that there is no way Apple shows something they are working on this early and definitely not at some small venture that they did not call.

    This is so silly. No one wants to wear glasses, next.

    I can no longer justify following BGR. This is the least newsworthy story you’ve run yet. Things get worse and worse around here.

    Looks like old tube technology; I’m surprised the image isn’t in black and white.

      In a way, he does.

    Apple will never make an iPad 3D.

  • Carmen

    iPad. Not the iPad 2. Do you guys do ANY research?

  • Briston Hatchell

    This doesn’t make any sense. this is clearly an iPad 1… doesn’t add up. 

  • Noah Gray

    That’s an iPad 1, not an iPad 2.
