Glass-Free HD 3D Display Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking – Global Review 2017 to 2022

Glass-free HD 3D display uses autostereoscopy display technology showing three-dimensional images without the need for eyewear or 3D glasses. Multiple views and eye tracking are the two approaches being used to accommodate the motion. This eliminates the need for the display to sense viewer’s eyes. Manufacturers are using various technologies such as parallax barrier, light field display, lenticular display technology, etc., to offer better image quality with high resolution. The automultiscopic display is offered in slightly offset way which looks different when seen from different angles, thus creating a 3D effect that can be viewed without 3D glasses.

Adding some more depth to the traditional 2D displays, manufacturers are focusing on offering a better viewing experience with glass-free HD 3D display. Most of these manufacturers are using parallax barriers and lenticular display technologies to offer glasses-free 3D display. While the companies are offering automultiscopic displays, providing glass-free 3D TV viewing, the content is still very restricted. Hence creating a tool or a method to transform present content into 3D content for glass-free 3D viewing is also one of the focus areas for manufacturers. Meanwhile, glass-free 3D display technology is also gaining traction in the smartphone market. Companies are also shifting their focus towards providing glass-free 3D experience on a larger screen at movie theaters.

As per the report by Fact.MR, the global market for glass-free HD 3D display is likely to experience healthy growth. Towards the end of 2022, the global market for glass-free HD 3D display is projected to bring in US$ 713.2 million revenue. Owing to the rise in innovative technology and increasing competition, manufacturers are focusing on providing advanced technology to the viewers by transforming the 3D viewing experience, making it more accessible and simple. Manufacturers are also focusing on using lenticular lens design creating an autostereoscopic view. 

Glass-Free HD 3D Display Signage Board to Gain Maximum Revenue Share

Signage board is likely to emerge as the biggest user of glass-free HD 3D display technology. Gaining nearly two-fifth of the share in terms of revenue by the end of 2017, signage board is estimated to surpass US$ 300 million revenue towards 2022 end. In the meantime, glass-free HD 3D display TV is also expected to show healthy growth during the forecast period.

Lenticular Display to Emerge as a Leading Technology in Glass-Free HD 3D Display Market

Lenticular display technology is expected to emerge as one of the widely used technology in glass-free HD 3D display. By the end of 2022, the lenticular display technology is estimated to exceed US$ 500 million revenue. Lenticular display technology creates a more distinct autostereoscopic view, hence, offering multi-user experience. It also minimizes resolution loss by creating more lively and clear images. Meanwhile, parallax barrier will also gain around two-fifth of revenue share towards 2017 end.

Competition Tracking

The report also offers a detailed profile of the companies that are expected to remain active in the expansion of global glass-free HD 3D display market, which include Kangde Xin Composite Material Group Co., Ltd, Alioscopy, Leyard Opto-Electronic Company Ltd, TCL Corporation, Dolby Laboratories, Inc., Royal Philips N.V, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, Magnetic Media Holdings Inc., 3M Company, and New Vision Display Inc.
