Giant consumer electronics maker LG Electronics unveiled the world’s first Full LED 3D TV, the LX9500, in Korea. The 55-inch TV uses an innovative backlight structure to deliver spectacular pictures for the 3D experience.

Illuminated by panels of LEDs directly behind the screen (the model boasts 1,200 LEDs), the Full LED display provides a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and TruMotion 400Hz (480Hz). The LX9500 has a slim body of 22.3mm.

In another first for the industry, the TV supports the Multi Picture Format, the 3D picture standard that enables users to create easily 3D content. Viewers can immediately see images snapped with 3D cameras without having to first convert them on their PCs.

The LX9500 employs shutter glasses (model: AG-S100) that adds depth by alternatively blocking one lens at a time in sync with the screen’s refresh rate. The glasses recharge via USB for up to 40 hours of uninterrupted viewing.

LG says it is committed to securing a dominant position in this fast growing market expected to surpass 80 million units by 2014, and aiming to achieve 25% share of 3D market in 2010. LG’s strategy includes plans to offer a diversified line-up of products in screen sizes from 42 inches to 150 inches utilizing both polarized and shutter type glasses and to launch a family of 3D products including LED LCD TVs, Plasma TVs, Blu-ray disc players and the world’s first Full HD 3D projectors.

Available in 47- and 55-inch versions, LG INFINIA 3D TVs will be available to consumers first in Korea followed by North America, Europe, the CIS as well as other key markets by early May.
