A 3D display is any display device capable of conveying three-dimensional images to the viewer. A display device is an Output device for presentation of Information for Visual or Tactile reception acquired stored or transmitted

There are many types of 3D displays: stereoscopic 3D displays show a different image to each eye; autostereoscopic 3D displays do this without the need for any special glasses or other head gear; holographic 3D displays reproduce a light field which is identical to that which emanated from the original scene (for the technology, see Computer Generated Holography). Stereoscopy, stereoscopic imaging or 3-D (three-dimensional imaging is any technique capable of recording three-dimensional visual Autostereoscopy is a method of displaying three-dimensional images that can be viewed without the use of special headgear or glasses on the part of the user Holography (from the Greek, ὅλος - hólos whole + γραφή - grafē writing drawing is a technique that allows the The light field is a function that describes the amount of Light traveling in every direction through every point in space Computer Generated Holography (CGH is the method of digitally generating holographic interference patterns In addition there are volumetric displays, where some physical mechanism is used to display points of light within a volume. A volumetric display device is a graphical Display device that forms a visual representation of an object in three physical dimensions, as opposed to the planar image Such displays use voxels instead of pixels. A voxel (a Portmanteau of the words Volumetric and Pixel) is a volume element representing a value on a Regular grid in In Digital imaging, a pixel ( pict ure el ement is the smallest piece of information in an image Volumetric displays include multiplanar displays, which have multiple display planes stacked up; and rotating panel displays, where a rotating panel sweeps out a volume.

A wide range of organisations have developed 3D displays, ranging from experimental displays in university departments to commercially available displays. Companies involved include 3DIcon Corporation, Alioscopy, Holografika, MIT Media Lab, NewSight, Pavonine, Philips, QinetiQ, SeeReal Technologies, Sharp, and Spatial View. Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV ( Royal Philips Electronics Inc. SeeReal Technologies GmbH is a Dresden -based company focusing on the development of 3D display solutions () is a Japanese Electronics manufacturer founded in 1912 It takes its name from one of its founder's first inventions the Ever-Sharp Mechanical pencil, which
