With all the concern for being thin that has beset our modern world, the craze for “reduction of size” has infiltrated the world of technology as well. Enter Hitachi at CES 2008 and its spanking new ultra-thin, Plasma HDTV!
The Hitachi plasma display model (PDP) is 50 inches in screen size yet only a mere 1.5-inches in depth. This marks the third Hitachi ultra-thin product to show its skinny face at CES; the other two being the ultra-thin LCD HDTV and its super thin concept LED-backlit ¾-inch LCDS. Although thin LCDs have been around for a while, the plasma display is exciting and makes Hitachi among the first demonstrators to display one.
More than 1/3 of the thickness usually associated with today’s plasma displays has been shaved in this newest creation and this product represents a very important engineering achievement from Hitachi, a company that is very secretive and highly competitive. The innovative technology behind the creation of this ultra thin plasma HDTV, which will be the centerpiece of Hitachi’s Innovation Showcase at CES, is top secret and hush-hush.
