Sharp recently announced its latest development, a two-way viewing-angle LCD that shows two different images on the same screen at the same time. The image viewers see depends on whether they look at the screen from the right or the left side. For home users this could mean the end of the fight for the remote; a couple can watch a football game and a romantic comedy on the same screen or a parent can watch the news while a child watches cartoons. There are obstacles of course, images overlap if viewers are not far enough to the left or right, and sounds can drown each other out, making a pair of headphones necessary.
