Matsushita Talks Plasma Biz

Matsushita, maker of Panasonic flat panel HDTV's, discussed its plasma business and what the next-generation of TV sets, the Fifth Wave, promises at a pre-seminar for the 2008 Flat Panel Display International conference. Susumu Tsujihara, a Matsushita manager, said that Panasonic will continue to focus on the plasma business and described three key characteristics of next-generation HDTV's:

• active TV's will fuse television, print, movie, PC and digital signage cultures
• TV's with more compression capabilities and professional digital technologies
• displays that drive compression technologies used for formats such as Blu-ray

He also said that despite the recent focus on plasma thickness (or thinness), weight is just as important and Panasonic plasma sets will continue to get lighter.
