LG Display Begins Pumping Out 19.8mm Thin, 42-Inch LCD Panels

LG Display is hopping on the ultra-thin display trend happening in the HDTV market right now, beginning mass production of 42-inch LCD panels that are only 19.8mm thin. Byung-Chul Ahn, the head of LG Display's technological advancement unit, says slimmer design is just one prong of a three-prong strategy the company intends to take. The other two prongs are building faster panels and sets with more value-added features. In fact LG Display plans to roll out LCD panels with a lightning quick 4 ms moving picture response time in 2009 and expects high-demand in the 19-22 inch panel market as more people begin to use their computer monitor for television viewing. In fact 30% of LG Display's LCD panel shipments this year will be headed for computer monitor installation.
