Shinoda Plasma’s 1-Millimeter Thick Display: Thin Enough For You?
Let’s see you wrap your brain around this thing. On May 15, display manufacturer Shinoda Plasma unveiled a prototype of its 1-millimeter thick, 125-inch plasma tube array. And yes, it’s flexible. The film-type display weighs only 7.9 pounds and offers a 960-by-360 resolution. Stop by the InfoComm 2008 conference in Las Vegas in June and you’ll be able to check one of these out.
True, 960-by-360 pixels isn’t all that great by today’s standards; Shinoda Plasma mainly envisions this display to be used by advertisers. But you can imagine how convenient a super-thin display would be for people in Tokyo, who live in cramped-up apartments: After watching a movie, they could roll one of these babies up and tuck it in the corner — and they might even have room to do jumping jacks.
