Japan Cell Phone Is Now 3D
There's little doubt Japanese consumers love their cell phones. They use their phones for almost everything. Now Japanese cell phone fans can purchase a cell phone with a 3D display.
The Hitachi Ltd.'s Wooo H001 cell phone, which went on sale last month in Japan for 50,000 yen ($510), has a tiny button that says "3D" below the keyboard. Push it, and the screen's image will appear three-dimensional, seeming to protrude slightly from the 3.1-inch liquid crystal display.
The phone uses a trick to deceive the eye into thinking an image is in 3D.
The phone is strictly a novelty. Users who stare at the image for two long end up with tired eyes. But for some quick "cool points" this phone is bound to impress some.
The phone will not be sold outside of Japan.
