| Hitachi Unveils 50-Inch Ultra Thin Plasma Display Hitachi Home Electronics has unveiled the first Plasma Display Panel in its UltraThin "1.5" family. This new plasma addition to Hitachi's 1.5 line – so named for its ultra thin 1.5-inch depth – will be offered in a 50-inch screen size, making it among the largest in the UltraThin category. In fact, it represents one of the world's thinnest, at approximately one-third the depth of other plasma displays. While a handful of companies, including Hitachi, have already developed UltraThin LCD models, Hitachi is at the forefront and among the first vendors to demonstrate an UltraThin plasma display. For a variety of technical reasons, the challenges in producing a thin plasma display greatly exceed those associated with developing a thin LCD, making Hitachi's achievements – 1.5-inch UltraThin models in both LCD and PDP – more impressive. As a result, Hitachi has already captured an early lead in the rapidly emerging and commercially attractive emerging category of UltraThin Displays. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
