TV's Just Keep Getting Thinner: 1 mm Thin Plasma Display

Another thin-panel display debuted at the CEATEC conference in Japan. Shinoda Plasma Corp. unveiled a 100 x 50 cm display equivalent to a 43-inch panel only 1 mm thick and weighing only 800 grams. Company founder Tsutae Shinoda says that due to the displays thinness, light weight, and flexibility it could be used for displays where typical LCDs and plasmas would not work. For instance, "making an entire tunnel wall into a display or bonding a display to a ceiling". Shinoda also stated that compared to other existing displays, the plasma prototype is far superior in manufacturing cost competitiveness. "Since it doesn't need the clean room required to manufacture existing displays, it is possible to lower manufacturing costs and make manufacturing plants very small," Shinoda said.
