SANYO and NHK have developed the first flickerless 3–D laser video disc system. This system consists of 3-D laser video disc player, 120 Hz vertical frequency monitor and liquid crystal glasses. The 3-D video signal, left and right eye's video fields being time multiplexed alternatively, is time compressed to double fields of NTSC to 120/sec, 60 for right eye and 60 for left eye, above threshold of flicker. On the other hand, the video signal uses 4:1 interface to gain higher resolution, so that each frame has 524.5 scanning lines for each eye. Both sides of CLV disc play 60 minutes.
