A new television will allow two different programs to air at the same time depending where one sits.

Japanese electronics firm Sharp Corp on Thursday unveiled the liquid crystal display (LCD) set that can simultaneously display different images into the right and left sides of the screen through a backlight. Viewers will get an uninterrupted view no matter where they sit, but what they see will change depending on the angle, the company said in a statement.

Sharp will begin mass production of the display, billed as the world's first dual-view LCD, by the end of the month, with the product hitting the shelves later this year. The company also said the LCD can "display a TV broadcast on the right screen, while displaying an Internet browser screen on the left."

Why do I suddenly see that same screen with a very thin left hand bezel and the mirror integral, as a large-screen-for-people-with-little-room solution?

It would be kind of odd trying to match up the angles to make the picture look right, but that's not a bad solution.

Call Sharp.

No, seriously.

I can think of many fights in my family that could have been avoided with one of those. However, I don't know how they would resolve the audio issues. Yes, two people can watch two different shows on the same TV, but which show will get priority for the audio?

Earphones. Or maybe parabolics.
