Utilising ICC (Integrated Cognitive Creation) technology, the ICC 4K LCD TV Prototype, was showcased this week at the CEATEC exhibition in Japan and aims to give viewers a sense of three-dimensionality, depth and texture.
With resolutions of 3,840 × 2,160 pixels, the new signal processing technology works together with panel control technology to emulate the “cognitive process” that determines the way that the brain deciphers light stimuli.
“I’d like you to look at the sense of depth in this picture of a bridge,” explains Sharp President, Mikio Katayama, in the video below.
“You can see how ordinarily, you would go onto the bridge from here and walk all the way up. You instantly understand that the distance is about 100 m. We understand that because our eyes scan the picture. In other words, when your eyes scan this bridge, as if you’re walking on it, you get the right resolution for each position. With a camera, that doesn’t happen. There’s a region that’s in focus, and everything else is out of focus, so you lose the sense of distance. That’s no good, so what we want to do is provide technology that replaces the incoming electrical signal with a picture formed using a real-world optical signal.”
Sharp and I-cubed plan to commercialise the product in 2012 and claims that it will offer a unique visual experience that gives viewers a “true-to-life quality.”
