SANYO has such devices. They developed a lenticular screen,
directly attached to an LCD display. I saw it last year on
a consumer electronics show (IFA '95, Berlin, Germany).
It has a wide viewing angle (up to three persons standing
3 ft. in front of the display).
   They also have 3-D lenticular front and back projection
screens for a larger audience. It can be used for computer
graphics and 3-D video. If used with regular TV sources,
a 2-D/3-D converter analyses the image, detects movements
in the scene, and generates parallax by adaptive delay
of half frames.
