All these while it’s Samsung and LG that’s demonstrating awesome display technology to the public, like a two-horse race. But now Sony is coming back to the scene with some cool technology, making it clear that they ain’t going to fall back in the race too. Sony has unveiled a 13.3-inch sheet of flexible color e-paper as well as two new glasses-free 3D panels in a separate session at an academic meeting which Tech-On! attended.

Sony’s managed to deliver both on a display that weighs only 20 grams and measures a mere 150-micron thick, a feat made possible by the use of a plastic substrate. The sheet boasts a 13-percent color gamut, 10:1 contrast ratio, and 150dpi resolution. This shows that Sony is also joining the crowd of e-paper that has bloomed lately.

As for the 3D LCD displays, Sony joined a slew of other manufacturers in showing off its special brand of the panels. These new displays, ranging from 10-inches to 23-inches, apparently employ a new method for delivering 3D to the naked eye. This particular method uses a backlight positioned between an LCD panel and another backlight for 2D images, and can be easily be switched off for 2D viewing.
