DDD REVISES 3D TV CONVERSION LICENSE WITH SAMSUNG Santa Monica, California (February 17th, 2010) ¾DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D software and content company, today announces that it has restructured the license agreement that allows Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. ('Samsung') to use DDD's automatic 2D to 3D conversion technology in Samsung's new 3D enabled LED LCD HDTVs. The per unit royalty paid for each Samsung 3D TV equipped with DDD's TriDef 3D technology has been reduced in order to enable Samsung to include the feature in a wider range of 3D TV models. As a result of the revised royalty, DDD expects that Samsung will include DDD's automatic 2D to 3D conversion capability in all Samsung LED LCD 3D HDTVs manufactured this year. Since Samsung's latest 3D HDTVs debuted in early January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung's executives have publicly stated that Samsung expects to manufacture between 2 and 2.6 million 3D HDTVs during 2010. On this basis, DDD expects to receive royalty revenue from Samsung in the range of $1.1 million to $1.5 million during 2010. In late January, Samsung announced that it started mass producing both light-emitting-diode (LED) and liquid-crystal-display (LCD) compatible panels for 40", 46" and 55" 3D TVs. Online retailers are already accepting pre-orders for the C7000 line of 240Hz LED-based LCDs with a release date of February 26, 2010. The five-year license agreement was announced in February 2008 and involved DDD and Samsung collaborating to implement DDD's TriDef real-time 2D to 3D conversion and 3D image processing architecture in the embedded 3D processing chip developed by Samsung for their next generation 3D HDTVs. Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD said: "We are pleased to report continued progress in our relationship with the world's leading TV manufacturer. When we entered into the license agreement in 2008, we had expected that the 3D capability would only be featured in the high-end TV models. Samsung approached us with this request in order to broaden the availability of 3D in more mainstream models. Since Samsung expects to produce approximately 35 million TVs in 2010, we were happy to secure increased adoption in exchange for the revised royalties."

The excitement around 3D has gathered pace in recent weeks with the theatrical success of Avatar, the live-action 3D film that last week became the fastest movie ever to reach $1bn in box office sales, becoming the fourth-highest grossing film in history just 17 days after its release. Avatar will have been many cinema-goers’ first experience of 3D and this exposure should increase the appetite for 3D in the home. There was plenty more 3D news at CES as Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, Panasonic, LG and Samsung all demonstrated 3D products. LG will be first to market in the UK, with a 47 inch 3D TV using passive polarised glasses going on sale in April for around £2000. Samsung and Sony are expected to follow with active shutter based sets due this Summer
"Bringing 3D to Mainstream" Everyone agrees, that this is going and is happening now, with consumer television and cinema, now is the time for this company to show shareholders the value of this technology and to prove to analysts predicting 41p they are way under target........try one pound!!!!
England's Six Nations match at home to Wales on 6 February will be Europe's first public live 3D sports broadcast. The match against Wales, and the game against Ireland at Twickenham on 27 February, will be broadcast into 40 Odeon and Cineworld cinemas in the UK. Rugby Football Union operations director Paul Vaughan praised the move as an "exciting new development". "This demonstrates England rugby has a rich history and an even richer future," he added. "I hope rugby fans will pack cinemas across the country to support the team and mark this milestone." The broadcast has been organised by England sponsor O2 and will use polarised 3D cameras at Twickenham.

With the success of Avatar and 3D cinema a lot more cinemas are now looking into perhaps buying the equipment that will make 3D available in all cinemas. In terms of mainstream TV, again that becomes an interesting aspect and the fact that their collusion with Intel is an extremely positive step in the right direction. That sort of partner is exactly what is required.
With the widespread take-up of 3D TV, nut just now in cinema but currently being brought into mainstream TV, I think 2010 is realistic for achievement of target. The fact this share has doubled in value in the first week of 2010 is testament to this as is the attached news article. Happy reading. http://www.azooptics.com/details.asp?newsID=6302
Had some, sold them, and dont look back. In the 5Y these shares have not been higher than 21p. Even if they get good news they will not go up until 2011.
If you look at past comments, people who bought into this at the early prices of around 7p are expecting this to reach over a £1 over the coming 12 months. 2010 is tipped as the year when 3D technology will hit mainstream entertainment.
looks as though the target of 41p is coming at last, this company is positioned for some strong growth as the awareness of this technology expands
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, an annual barometer for the state of the industry, has its arrows pointed towards a fairer outlook for 2010. CES officially opens tomorrow, with the promise of new categories of technological devices to spur consumer spending this year and help countries pull out of the recession. Among the hot topics this year will be 3D. It is moving rapidly from the cinema to the living room, with the introduction of 3D HDTVs from groups such as LG, Samsung and Sony, and content announcements expected. Also expected to come into their own this year are e-readers, with a new generation of larger format devices being unveiled at the show. The new smartbooks category will compete with netbooks for attention, as portable PCs remain the hottest section of the PC industry. CES has been upstaged in the past by announcements from Apple, such as the unveiling of the iPhone at MacWorld in 2007. This year, that event has been moved to February. But Steve Jobs, Apple founder, will still cast a shadow over tablets on display at CES, with Apple's next major product expected to be a tablet launched in three weeks. Google is stealing the initial limelight this year, with the announcement at its Silicon Valley headquarters yesterday that it will sell its first Android phone - the Nexus One. Analysts at UBS said yesterday they expected new smartphone announcements from Acer, Asus, HTC, LG, Palm and Samsung at CES and other upcoming shows as competition increased in the smartphone segment. Chipmakers are taking a central role in the industry and finding new markets, with their processors featuring in e-readers, smartbooks, netbooks and set-top boxes bringing the internet to TVs. The chief executives of chipmakers Intel and Qualcomm are both keynote speakers at the show. The development of the car as a hub for consumer electronics will be reflected in announcements of TV services for vehicles and built-in internet connectivity. Alan Mulally, Ford chief executive, is another keynote speaker. Last year's CES attracted 113,000 attendees, down from an expected 130,000 and Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) officials are cautiously predicting attendance will be flat this year. However, they report a big pick-up in interest in recent months as economies have recovered and absentees from last year, such as Philips, are returning. There are a record number of new exhibitors at the show - more than 330 - and 20,000 products on show from more than 2,500 exhibitors. The CEA has predicted shipment revenues fell 7.7 per cent to $165bn in 2009, the first decline since 2001. Whether its forecast of a meagre 1 per cent growth in 2010 is too pessimistic will be determined by how well the products on display in Las Vegas this week are received in the wider world in the coming months.

3-D technology must be a good buy since it really is the future of how we will interact with TV and cinema. I'm out of Central African because of a takeover so looking for some action here. Currently 15.25. JUst beginning to look at DDD and I see the future being good so long as their products remain good.
With some analysis's predicting 41p for this stock, I still maintain that with mainstream cinema going 3D, this company is at the forefront of this technology. The prediction that I make is more likely to be over one pound.
Final Destination: Death Trip 3D has been confirmed for release August 14th 2009. This fourth instalment in the incredible supernatural thriller has been written by Eric Bress and directed by David R. Ellis. Also one thing that will make this movie very special is the fact that it is being shot in High-Definition 3-D, that means that while we sit in the cinema watching this film we will have the full 3 dimensional effects! This is the first film to be commercially produced using such technologies. Final Destination 4: The Death Trip is the fourth presentation in the Final Destination series, and promises to be a treat to watch owing to the High Definition 3 D effects in the film. The movie shall be aired in 3 D theaters all over the world, which in fact has been the cause of much talk amongst movie viewers as well as the final Destination series fans. Slated for a world wide release on the 28 of august, 2009, the movie is promising to be one of the greatest thrillers to have come our way.
I know there are some results expected early sept and fairly sure that with the patent award and the high levels of uptake of new 3D technology, there will be good news for al share holders but does anyone know the exact date to expect the results release?
Bailed this afternoon. One difficulty with DDD is that the stock is pretty unmarketable, there is only a market in 10,000 shares when selling so you have to accept outside the price.
Nice find!
