Sighted (Barely) On The Horizon

September 26, 2007 in Main Page | No comments

I’ve mused here before about the day when we would be able to have a yoga-mat like television screen rolled up under our arm, ready to hang on the wall, plug in … and it will receive wireless input, etc.

Via Engadget, it seems that there is some progress towards that day … whether it’s 0,74 of an inch thick (LCD) or 3 mm (OLED), either way flat screens are on the path to thinner and lighter.

Hitachi announces 0.74-inch thin 32-inch LCD television

While we wait for the the commercialization of those crazy-flat, high-contrast OLED televisions from Sony, Sharp and now Hitachi are trying to tempt us with super-thin LCDs of their own. Either way, we’re good.

Hitachi’s 19-mm (0.74-inch) thin 32-inch LCD television was just announced but won’t be revealed until CEATEC Japan 2007 gets underway.

Not bad… not a scant 3-mm OLED mind you, but not bad. CEATEC kicks off on Tuesday so be sure to check back then for pictures and specs.
