The 3DS has two displays – the LCD 3.53 inch top screen enabling 3D view with 800x240p resolution and another LCD 3.02 inch touch-screen with 320x240p resolution.
The top screen creates an illusion of depth and produces stereoscopic 3D effect without glasses. You need to stare at it hard without moving your eyes around to get them accustomed to the screen.

Some More FeaturesAll you have to do is to wait for another year for this game console. It will change the way you watch 3D movies. You can still enjoy a long journey along with the portable Nintendo 3DS. By the end of March next year, the gadget is sure to grip you by exciting imagination.
Are you short of time most of the times? Do you dream of most of the things to become portable so that you can just do almost everything on the move? If your answer is yes, then be happily assured that a good number of people are just like you. Surely, you wouldn’t mind carrying a mobile bulb too in your kitty. Lite-On has introduced ‘Mobile Lamp’ LED bulb that can light up without the power too.
Alva Edison must be in a state of unrest in his resting place and dying to see Lite-On’s innovation based on his original idea!
On the face of it, ‘Mobile Lamp’ appears to be no different from a traditional bulb. It uses LEDs and can be used as a normal bulb, plugged in a usual socket. Lite-On has moved a step ahead and installed battery inside the bulb. This device is capable of providing you with light for two hours after the power failure.
A green revolution of a different nature is on the round these days. No wonder, that every other day we can be face-to-face with a new product explicating its green features with the idea to leave minimum carbon-footprint.
Lite-On’s LED bulb seems to be on the same lines as it consumes a mere 7W of power and lasts for 30 years (for me it’s a life-time!).
Once you have plucked this mobile bulb out of its socket, you just need to tap the bottom copper part of it with a conductor to switch it on and off. For that matter, even your finger is sufficient to render this magic.
As ‘Mobile Lamp’ is still in experimental stages so, it will not be available in the market for another year. Once it is launched for public consumption, it will prove to be pretty useful and worth buying. It will be interesting to see how Lite-On’s LED bulb is used in the places where there is power shortage. Anyhow, detectives, magicians, and all of you there who wish you had more hours in a day, can definitely carry this wonder gadget wherever you go.
