Source : CDR InfoThe race for offering the thinnest LCD panels for notebooks is almost now over, so manufacturers are looking to extend such technologies for LCD TV panels. If the size of the LCD TV has been over the last year the main marketing factor, one can not extend it further except to the cost of resolution/rendering.
So manufacturers had to find a new way to promote their models, and the thickness of the LCD TV is now the way to go. Sony announced the future availability (November) of a new ultra-thin LCD TV model, only 9.9 cm for only 12 kg! It will also feature a wireless tuner, so no direct wire between the panel and the rest of the hardware. It will cost around 3,000 Euro, a premium for a new and exclusive product.
This thickness record should not last that long as Philips already announced to have manufactures a backlighting system of only 1 mm thickness, making possible to produce 8cm thin LCD TV
