Samsung announced today that they will use RealD's 3D technology in their upcoming 3D TVs. Samsung will support the proprietary stereoscopic RealD Format for the delivery and display of high-quality 3D content. The two companies will also co-develop active eyewear and New Passive Display technology. A few weeks ago RealD announced a similar deal with Sony.

The RealD Format is an enhanced version of a side-by-side 3D format that uses a unique set of filters and other technology that multiplexes a left eye and right eye 3D image stream into a single channel for delivery of high definition 3D content using today's HD infrastructure to any 3D-enabled display type.

Sony and RealD will partner on 3D technologies. Sony will use RealD's technology and equipment, such as 3D eyewear.
