Shinoda introduces 1mm-thick, ultra-wide plasmas

17 May 2008 11:19 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 11 comments

Shinoda introduces 1mm-thick, ultra-wide plasmas Shinoda Plasma has announced that it will be introducing the world's thinnest Plasma display, 1mm (.04 inches) at its thickest depth.

The example demoed for reporters was 125 inches diagonally which was impressive in itself, but the depth was more impressive considering it is only a fraction of what current plasma displays are. Also notable is that Shinoda's display is so thin you can curve the screen to maintain a direct viewing angle, even for the far edges.

According to the company, the display that was demoed is fully functional and is "near production-grade". There was one hitch however. The company claims the display has "the functional brightness of a plasma display from 1999." CEO Tsutae Shinoda noted that the company will need to improve that fact if it hopes to compete against modern screens.

He added that the company is searching for Japanese companies that will help turn the screen from demo product to consumer product in the next year.

    Shouldn't their be some restrictions on "worlds this and or worlds that".

    I still consider Sony's newest OLED release to be the thinnest for the simple fact that its in production for sale and it uses newer technology and produce images better than this product.

    Also what about the screen that you can roll up and place anywhere at any angle or curve that have been around and talked about for a while but never produced. Are those not the thinnest compared to these.
    (If you set aside quality and technology, and production)

    Again just some questions to think about.

    lcd and plasma in general save a lot of space compared to old tv's, unless u are a saving space freak u'll be interested in this, what they should be working on is cheaper prices so eveyone can afford it and better perfomance for ppl who just can't get enough, think everyone has a bit of that

    TV's this thin suck! You'll end up paying tons of cash for a TV that'll only last as long as an open bottle of mayonnaise! TV's are meant to be long lasting and give good quality service, definition-wise...not to be thin! It's just stupid. No one cares if "Sukiyaki made a .01mm plasma TV that runs on watch batteries..." We want good resolution, not thinness!

    just because you are not interested you think they stop reserching it?? are you serious, isn't there any way you can see this working?, maybe on a wall of the subway, or somewhere you cant afford to waste space.

    Yea because you know that they don't think resolution, quality, and durabilty are important to consumers. You're kidding, right?

    Try thinking outside the box. They're showing us how they've advanced technology. You don't think they're going to rush these in to production and you'll see them on the shelves at WalMart by Christmas, do you?

    That's nothing you should see the holographic grid table the army uses.

    indeed its extremely to thin for normal everyday. use however its good to see they can do it.

    (@DSWarrior) its not the display that determines what its resolution or how it looks. it's the way its designed. if implemented properly it could well be the highest resolution display out there.

    What exactly is the resolution of demo screen up and running? What are near future expectations and probabilities with this technology?

    Wow... That is bright... Throw in Halo 3 and you've made yourself another star :P

    I really don't care about how thin a TV is. Mine is only like 2 inches thick or somethin' and I'm happy... I think having a 1cm TV looks cheap...
