The Future of Display – Stereoscopic 3D “The world is Not Flat”

Korea’s research on 3D image-based technologies was initiated with the participation of such a state-owned research institute as the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in 2002. Leading companies in the private sector are KDC Corp. and masterImage. Founded in 1972, this year marks the 36th anniversary of its establishment as Korea’s leading IT company. KDC has four subsidiaries, listed on Kosdaq in 1996. The overall sales of the KDC Corp, an IT enterprise of middle standing, amounted to more than $1.1 hundred million, employing a staff of 800 people. KDC has decided to put priority on the next-generation display business as a new growth engine in 2004, and has joined forces to make inroads to the display market in close collaboration with masterImage, a professional 3D enterprise. Launched with the participation of influential engineers in the 3D sector, masterImage has secured core technology with regard to stereoscopic 3D images.
