Sony will later this week unveil a prototype 3D display that can be seen through 360 degrees without the need to wear special glasses.

The display, few details of which are currently available, will premiere on Thursday at the Digital Contents Expo in Tokyo. The display is cylindrical so it can be viewed from all sides and is 13 centimeters in diameter. The display and its case is 27 centimeters tall.

Sony envisages the display will be used in exhibitions and public areas for advertising or to relay information or used in the home to display 3D photos and other images. However, the screen in the prototype only supports a reƖative low resolution of 96 pixels by 128 pixels.
