It also supports so-called “full HD,” which is 1,080 horizontal lines of resolution and progressive scanning (1080p).The new panel won’t be available for use in TVs until the first half of next year, but a prototype of the panel will be shown this week at the International Meeting on Information Displays 2006 technical conference that is taking place starting Wednesday in the South Korean city of Daegu.

Right now the largest high-definition LCD TVs are 65-inch models, and anything above that is the province of PDP TVs. A few years ago this crossover point was around 46 inches, but increased competition in the flat-panel TV market has pushed LCD manufacturers to make larger screens and PDP makers to develop smaller screens. The result has been a large portion of the market, from about 37 inches to 65 inches, where both technologies compete.-Martyn Williams, IDG News Service (Tokyo Bureau) Check out our CIO News Alerts and Tech Informer pages for more updated news coverage.
