3D TV Glasses Active Or Passive What Is The Difference?
3D TV Glasses Explained
- 3D is stereo for your eyes.
- 3D TV glasses trick your brain to see focused 3D pictures on one screen.
- 3D TVs fall into two main categories Active 3D or Passive 3D.

ACTIVE 3D TV GLASSES
Pick the 3D TV Brand you own.
Panasonic Samsung
Sharp
Mitsubishi
Sony
Vizio
LG
Toshiba
- 3D TV you watch with active shutter glasses (Active 3D TV Glasses).
- Powered with batteries and linked to an emitter in your 3D TV.
- The emitter sends radio or infrared signals to the glasses telling each lens to either ope or close like a window shutter.
- The images are slightly offset, one for each eye and sent at 120 times/sec. tricking your mind into thinking you are seeing 3D.

PASSIVE 3D TV GLASSES
- 3D TV you watch with polarized glasses (Passive 3D TV Glasses).
- Cheaper and lighter than active 3D TV glasses.
- Brand new film technology called Film Pattern Retarder (FPR).
- TVs using this technology will be called:
- Passive 3D, Cinema 3D, Theater 3D
- A thin film with tiny angled holes is applied to the TV screen’s outside glass.
- Each lens in passive 3D glasses lets in only one of those two angled pictures resulting in one image for each eye creating the 3D effect.
- The major advantage of Passive 3D Glasses is they can work across many brands of 3D TVs using the passive 3D technology.
- The draw backs of Passive 3D are 1. The image quality is slightly lower and 2. The viewing angle is slightly narrower.
