SINGAPORE, Nov. 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Zecotek Photonics Inc.
(TSX-V: ZMS; Frankfurt: W1I;
OTCPK: ZMSPF),), a developer of leading-edge
photonics technologies for industrial, healthcare and scientific
markets, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Patent office has
granted U.S. Patent No. 9,182,605 and U.S. Patent No. 9,182,606 to
Zecotek for technology related to the Company's front and rear
projection autostereoscopic 3D display systems respectively. These
patents are part of Zecotek's growing global portfolio of
patents, including U.S. patent number 7,944,465 covering its
glasses-free 3D auto-stereoscopic display system.
"As we are now in the final process of commercialization of our
3D display technologies, receiving two new U.S. patents covering
large format displays is an important milestone to secure this
unique intellectual property and cover all aspects of realistic,
glasses free, natural 3D viewing," said Dr. A.F. Zerrouk, Chairman, President, and CEO of
Zecotek Photonics Inc. "The patents cover both front and rear
projection technology which can be used for large format displays.
This will be of particular value for movie theatres, simulations,
advertising and teaching purposes."
The two patents relate to projection 3D autostereoscopic
displays using time-sequencing approach and at least two lens
arrays to provide multiple perspective views to form 3D images in
the field of view. 3D autostereoscopic time-sequencing is not
dependent on the number of perspectives and therefore allows for
higher resolution across a wide number of perspectives. This
applies to both front and rear projections for large screen 3D
display applications.
Patents have been granted to Zecotek for its 3D display system
in the United States, China, Europe, Eurasia, Russia and Australia. Other patents have been filed and
are pending in Japan, Korea and
India.
About Zecotek's 3D Display System
Zecotek's 3D Display
System is based on the auto-stereoscopic principle, but with
substantial innovative and patented improvements and represents a
new and unique generation of 3D displays. It has the capability of
simultaneously presenting 3D and 2D images on the same screen, and
for separate views at different viewing angles. Zecotek's true,
auto-stereoscopic 3D2D display system requires no eyewear and has
an effective viewing angle of 40 degrees with 90 concurrent
perspectives allowing for multiple views at the same time. Another
unique feature of the Zecotek system is constant motion parallax
within the viewing angle. Motion parallax eliminates the sense of
imbalance and dizziness during normal observation which can occur
with polarized and shutter glasses used with other commercial
systems. Furthermore Zecotek's 3D display features the
preservation of the base resolution in every perspective view
irrespective of the number of such views. This is not true for any
other glasses-free displays where the base resolution is divided by
the number of views. Zecotek`s white paper on 3D display
technology is available on www.zecotek.com.
