Japanese electronics maker Toshiba says it is developing technology for a 3-D TV that will not require special glasses.

Spokeswoman Yuko Sugahara said such technology was in the works but she refused to comment on a report in the Yomiuri newspaper today that the Tokyo-based company plans to start selling the new 3-D TVs by the end of the year.

According to the nationally circulated Yomiuri, Toshiba would be offering the world's first 3-D TVs not requiring glasses.

It said the TVs send different images at various angles to create an illusion within a viewer's brain of dimension and depth, and watching the 3-D images will not be tiring on the eyes.
