Panasonic developed 8.8 mm ultra thin
plasma and LCD HDTV displays
Panasonic has developed new thin-profile display panel
technologies for both Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) and LCD
HDTVs.
The newly developed NeoPDP technology has been incorporated
into two types of PDPs. The first is a super high-efficiency
42-inch PDP that achieves triple luminance efficiency, while
reducing the power consumption to 1/3 of the 2007 models.
The second is an ultra-thin 50-inch PDP just 8.8 mm (approximately
1/3 inch). This ultra-thin panel delivers the world's highest
moving picture resolution of 1080 lines.
Panasonic's newly-developed NeoLCD technology is integrated
into a super energy-efficient 90kWh per year 37-inch LCD
panel, that achieves moving picture resolution of 1000 lines,
close to that of a PDP. It has the lowest energy consumption
of any LCD HDTV in the world, cutting the energy requirement
almost in half compared to the previous model.
With the growth of digital broadcasting services worldwide,
the flat-panel TV market has been rapidly increasing and
is expected to exceed half of the global TV demand in the
fiscal year 2008 ending March 2009. The TV market is expected
to continue its growth with the increase of digital broadcasting,
the increased popularity of flat panel TVs, continuing need
for replacement TVs and increased demand for business, educational
and medical applications. As people's awareness of the need
to improve the environment increases, it is vitally important
that TVs be designed with their impact on the environment
in mind.
These prototypes will be featured at the 2009 International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week.
