It's by far and away the largest LCD panel ever produced and is sized more in line with the Plasma display sizes we are accustomed to seeing. It's by far and away the largest LCD panel ever produced and is sized more in line with the Plasma display sizes we are accustomed to seeing. LG.Philips says the LCD is approximately 1.5 times larger than the previously largest LCD panel. The company actually announced back in March that it had developed the panel, but the Society for Information Display Symposium and Exhibition in San Francisco is the first time the monster will get a public airing. The 7th generation panel is a wide screen (16:9) LCD TV with a screen response of less than 5ms to change its 6.22 million-pixels. Natually the beast is full High Definition and has the ability to reproduce about 1.07 billion colours with a contrast ratio of 3000:1. Bock Kwon, LG.Philips LCD's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing & Sales Officer said, "In a short amount of time, there have been significant enhancements to LCDs, giving LCDs an edge over other display technologies, as evidenced by the introduction of the 100-inch panel -- the largest in the world. Our product demonstrations at SID 2006 will further support why LCD is clearly today's display technology of choice." In more mobile news from the company, it will demonstrate its "Combo LCD" notebook PC, which has a 14.1-inch widescreen display for regular computing and then another 4-inch sub-display on the outer shell of the notebook so you can access applications such as calendars, e-mail, music lists and headline news without having to open it up. LG.Philips will also show off a 14.1-inch flexible e-book display which doesn’t use a traditional backlight source behind the TFT Matrix and instead uses ambient light and is printed onto a metal foil rather than glass to allow it to be flexible.
