How does Planar’s StereoMirror monitors work?
The SD1710 and SD2220W use two AMLCD (active-matrix liquid crystal display) monitors positioned 110° apart. A half-mirror is setup at the bisecting angle between the two displays. Polarized light emitted from the bottom monitor is transmitted through the half-mirror. Polarized light emitted from the top monitor is flipped upon reflection off the half-mirror. Polarized glasses are used to restrict the left eye to view the bottom monitor and the right eye to view the top. The SD2620W works in a similar way; however, the type of LCD used requires some proprietary optical changes to the monitors and different polarized glasses than the SD1710 or SD2220W.
