What is the difference between active and passive 3D glasses?

There are two types of 3D glasses: active and passive models. The choice of the right glasses depends heavily on the technology of your TV or projector, as both types use different technology to create the spatial 3D effect.

Active 3D glasses - shutter glasses

3D shutter glasses work by alternately darkening their lenses at a fast frequency. Synchronised with the screen, which alternately displays the left and right image, this creates a separate image for each eye, which the brain assembles into a three-dimensional impression

Advantages

Disadvantages

Higher price

Active glasses are technically more complex and therefore more expensive.

Technology-related flickering

As the lenses darken and lighten extremely quickly, sensitive eyes may perceive this rapid switching on and off of the image as a slight flickering.

Power supply

The glasses need to be charged as they have a rechargeable battery.

Passive 3D glasses - Polarised glasses

Polarised glasses use light filters to create the 3D effect. The projection screen simultaneously displays two slightly offset images that are filtered by different polarisations. The glasses separate these images and direct one to the left eye and the other to the right

Advantages

Icon Euro in one hand

Lightweight and inexpensive option

These glasses have a simpler design, which makes them cheaper and lighter.

Flicker-free display

As there are no moving parts, there is no flickering, which makes them particularly comfortable.

No power supply required

Passive glasses require neither batteries nor rechargeable batteries.

Which 3D glasses do I need for my TV or projector?

Choosing the right 3D glasses depends directly on the technology of your device. Not every pair of glasses works with every TV or projector.

The right glasses for your projectors

DLP projectors almost always use DLP Link technology. This works wirelessly by the projector itself emitting a special light signal that synchronises the glasses with the image. You therefore need active DLP Link glasses for most 3D-capable DLP projectors. When buying, make sure that this technology is explicitly mentioned

The right glasses for your TV

There are two common technologies for televisions that have been used over the years:
  • Active 3D televisions: many older 3D-capable televisions use active shutter technology. The associated glasses connect to the TV via infrared or Bluetooth to synchronise the images.
  • Passive 3D televisions: Newer models often use passive technology. These TVs use a special coating on the screen so that you only need simple, lightweight and flicker-free polarised glasses.
To make sure which glasses you need, we always recommend checking the operating instructions for your TV or projector.

Frequently asked questions about 3D glasses

The battery life of active 3D glasses varies depending on the model and manufacturer, but is typically between 40 and 80 hours of continuous use. Modern models often have an intelligent switch-off function that automatically switches the glasses off after a few minutes of inactivity to save energy.
To ensure the longevity of your 3D glasses, you should treat them like normal glasses. Clean the lenses carefully with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or paper towels, as these could scratch the lenses. Store the glasses in a protective bag or case to prevent dust and damage.
In most cases, no. The 3D glasses used in cinemas are passive polarisation glasses. They work because the cinema screen displays the image with a special polarisation. However, most 3D televisions or projectors use a different technology - either active shutter glasses or another type of passive polarisation that is not compatible with cinema technology
Yes, in most cases this is possible without any problems. Many 3D glasses are designed so that they can be worn over normal glasses. When buying, look out for models that are specially optimised for spectacle wearers.
The connection depends on the type of 3D glasses:
  • Active glasses (shutter glasses): These glasses need to be synchronised with the TV or projector. This is usually done wirelessly via Bluetooth or infrared. You simply switch on the glasses and follow the instructions on the screen of your device to establish the connection. With some models, it is sufficient to switch on the glasses while the 3D signal is active.
  • Passive glasses (polarised glasses): No connection is necessary with this technology. As the glasses only filter light but have no electronics, you can simply put them on as soon as the 3D image appears on your TV
