Sharp To Use LG's 3D Technology
Sharp will reportedly sign an aggreement with Korea' s largest Korean chemical company LG Chem Ltd., with Sharp to use LG's film-based 3D technology.
According to a Korean Times' report, Sharp will use LG Chem's FPR 3D technology in its large 3D TVs. The report adds LG Chem offered the technology for a beneficial price, in an effort to expand its customer base for 3D films.
LG's cheaper film-based 3D technology has also attracted traditional supporters of Samsung's competitive 3D technology, which uses battery-powered 3D glasses - Panasonic and Sony. Both these companies chose FPR 3D technology for specific TV models, in order to cut costs of 3D screens.
Sharp and LG Chem have not commneted on the report yet.
In return for using LG's 3D films for Sharp's 3D TVs, Sharp will export its large-sized flat-screens to LG Electronics, according to a seperate deal between the companies. LG Electronics reportedly plans to release a 60-inch 3D TV using Sharp's flat screens.
Sharp and LG Chem have not commented on the report yet.
