LG.Philips LCD, one of the world’s leading innovators of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) technology, has unveiled its new a 42-inch TFT-LCD TV panel that is substantially thinner than conventional panels, at only 19.8 mm.
The company also said that the ultra-slim 42-inch LCD panel will be on display at FPD International 2007 in Yokohama, Japan, from October 24 to 26.
“Reducing the thickness of LCD panels and ultimately TVs is one area where we can add a great deal of value for consumers,†said Eddie Yeo, Executive Vice President and head of LG.Philips LCD’s TV business unit. “LG.Philips LCD will be the first company to launch an ultra- slim 42-inch panel, giving us a strong lead in the market for next generation TV panels. We will continue to develop slim LCD TV panels and expect to add additional offerings in this product line in 2008.â€
The latest HD panel is 40 percent thinner and 10 percent lighter than other conventional 42-inch LCD TV panels. It comes equipped with 120Hz technology to eliminate motion blur.
In addition, the LCD TV has the ability to deliver full HD resolution that is twice as sharp as normal HD resolution. The company also uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight on this panel. This helps in reducing the production cost as compared to the LED backlight.
The new ultra-slim panel would match the rising demand for LCD TVs that are simple, slim and stylish, which can be mounted on a wall easily.
