Richmond's Zecotek Photonics Inc. (TSX-V:ZMS) has been granted a patent in Korea for its 3D optical imaging technology system.
The system allows for imaging to be viewed on-screen in three dimensions without the need for 3D glasses. The company said the technology allows for dynamic range and colour depth of the same quality as those found in traditional 2D optical displays, and can present both 2D and 3D displays on the same screen.
"As our 3D display technology gains prominence within the 3D industry, patent protection in leading technological nations, such as Korea, is key to protecting the underlying value of the technology," said Dr. A.F. Zerrouk, chairman, president and CEO of Zecotek Photonics Inc.
"Korea is home to the world's major display manufacturers and to receive the notice of allowance in this important jurisdiction significantly strengthens our international patent protection with respect to our glasses-free 3D display technology."
The company has already received similar patents in the United States, China, Europe, Russia, Australia and Eurasia.
