A 3D phone is a mobile phone or other mobile device that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing stereoscopy or any other form of 3D depth techniques. Most 3D phones have an autostereoscopic parallax barrier display (glasses-free 3D display) and some also have a 3D camera and a 3D output via HDMI.
Since 2002, many companies have introduced autostereoscopic displays for smartphones. By the end of 2002, Sharp launched the Sharp mova SH251iS, the world's first commercial 3D-enabled phone, on NTT DoCoMo's network. Sharp's device made a huge local success in Japan, with 4.325 million units shipped, which made it the best-selling 3D-enabled device for many years later. Nevertheless, it wasn't until 2010 when 3D-enabled mobile phones began to catch on.
According to DisplaySearch, smartphones will be the largest 3D display application on a unit shipment basis in 2018, with 101 million units with 3D capability.
