that I doubt due to the cost of the screen size goes up the larger the screen it is. because the technology they are using for this many other companies have also explored the technology, and not to say they at Toshiba have not been able to offset the cost somehow, but I would not hold my breath on the cost being very low on TV set's greater than 21" due to the screen size increase causes the modification to that screen's cost to increase about 20% to near i would say as a guess 35% size increase past 21" Right now.
just look at this:

The firm holds no less than nine patents in the areas of both stereoscopic and autostereoscopic (glasses-free) technologies, and was flaunting its latest 3D enabled handset across the Fira in Barcelona.
Apparently it all comes down to cost. “You’ll see glasses-free 3D TV in the near future, but it’s just not practical in theatres because the screen size makes it cost prohibitive,” he said.

Rockchip working on 3D Android tablet
No glasses required
Chinese hardware manufacturer Rockchip is developing a
3D Android tablet which does not require glasses and will be showing it off at the IFA electronics fair in Berlin next month.
Rockchip is employing a lenticular autostereoscopic 3D display and a dual-switch which allows users to switch to 2D mode as well, much like
Nintendo's upcoming 3DS, which also uses autostereoscopic technology.
The benefits of this are obvious as no one really likes wearing 3D glasses. Most methods of autostereoscopy work by redirecting images to several viewing regions at a lower resolution, building up a convincing 3D image, but potentially at the risk of quality. However,
early indications suggest pretty good quality overall. There are brightness issues as well.
Rockship's prototype model is being dubbed the Supernova x1, but the sticker on the device had Nova x1, so it could be either.
Not many details are thin, but from the pictures and videos we've seen it appears to be a very small device, with a screen size of around three by five inches, making it closer to the
Dell Streak than to the
iPad. While this will make it ultra portable, the screen size might be a tad on the small size for truly enjoying a 3D movie - but it does suggest that we may end up with 3D smartphones in the near future.
Initial reports suggest it will run
Google's Android OS, but it's not clear which version. Since this is a pretty early prototype, however, we expect that Android 3.0 or an even later version will be out by the time it hits the shelves. That doesn't stop Rockchip from
doing a Dell and launching with a really old version of Android, but it would be wise to update to a more recent flavour.
It is also not clear what price range this will aim for, but if Rockchip can keep the price tag down then it may be onto a winner.
