As it launches a new range of 3D TVs, Korean electronics giant LG has boldly targeted five million 3D TV sales for 2011.

Such sales would represent around a fifth of sales and LG’s sets will use a new 3D technology film patterned retarder (FPR [their polarized display technolog]) which it is hoped by the firm will address nagging issues regarding image quality that have to date been associated with its sets. The sets will though need glasses in order to realise a full 3D effect.

“[FPR] is a second-generation 3D technology and the market is evolving to this new generation. We are confident that this technology will lead the market and we’ll aggressively push for FPR,” commented Havis Kwon, head of LG’s home entertainment division.
