How does it work?
Active 3D works by sending two separate images of the same scene simultaneously; one for your right eye and the other for your left. As they occupy the entire screen and appear intermixed they give a blurry effect when looked at without 3D glasses. When you wear the glasses, these two images will be perceived as one single 3D image called fusing creating an illusion of depth.
For glasses-free 3D the TV projects different images to each eye which then merge to create a 3D effect. It is similar to the 3D TV to be viewed donned with glasses except, the special lens in the TV panel does the job of the glasses and fuses the images together.
