Sharp Announces Triple-View LCD

Sharp Announces Triple-View LCD

Folks were a little skeptical last year when Sharp announced it had developed an dual-view LCD screen which could display different images to viewers on the left and the right. This year, Sharp is upping the ante, claiming to have developed a new triple-view LCD display (Japanese) which can show different images to the left, right, and center.

In theory, a triple view LCD panel installed in a car could enable a drive to view a navigation system, a passenger to surf the Web, and backseat passenger to enjoy quality video entertainment programming. And Sharp is probably right to be thinking about putting a triple-view LCD in cars: that’s where most of the interest in the dual-view LCDs has been. Another possible application is store signing and other public displays.

Checking in with Bluetti at CES 2022: Announcements you don’t want to miss

CES 2022, or the Consumer Electronics Show is an excellent opportunity to check out some new technologies and see what’s coming for the year. Many companies announce new products, show off new features or software updates, and more. But -- and this happens every year -- some products are more gimmicky than they are useful. They might look cool, do some cool things, and excite us but out in the real world, they won’t necessarily make a difference.

LG has almost always had a presence in the smart home space, but the company made that clearer than ever before at CES 2022 with a flurry of new smart home devices aimed at improving people's lives. From improving our air quality and turning us into the perfect cooks to adding more settings to washers and dryers, the LG ThinQ app plays a larger role than ever before.
PuriCare AeroTower

The company aims to not only improve your air quality, but also your comfort with the LG PuriCare AeroTower. Not your ordinary air purifier, the PuriCare AeroTower is also a fan and a heater. The model supports three airflow modes (with 10 levels of intensity each): Wide, Diffusion, and Ddirect. Depending on the model, you can add heat (up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) to any airflow mode. The unit uses multistage True HEPA filters to effectively capture most particles floating around a room. It also uses ultraviolet-C light to help combat bacteria. For those who want to check on the air quality, they can look on the device or check out the LG ThinQ app on their phone.
